from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
In relief, the Flames turned to Curtis Joseph and right then it seemed as if this was going to be a long and painful evening for the Flames. Only it was Marleau who was left feeling the pain.
On a hit that changed the complexion of the game, not to mention Marleau’s, Sarich caught Marleau in his own end of the ice along the boards with his head down. It was a monster collision that brought the crowd alive and left Marleau dazed and bleeding.
“We were down 3-0 and I was just trying to make something happen,” said Sarich. “I hit him and followed through. They [the referees] called it right. I didn’t think it deserved a penalty.”
Watch the hit below…

This hit was miles cleaner than the one that Marleau received a couple shifts earlier. This looked like a relatively clean (borderline at worst) hockey hit. However, the first hit was Marleau’s head slammed into the rear wall. Anyone have footage of that?
