If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em.

Heard about the late game carnage in the Wild game. Sucker punching Kim Johnsson? He's a good puck moving, mobile defenseman, hardly a dirty player or agitator. If May gets suspended, it is still a pretty good trade in the favor of the 'mighty' ones. Losing Johnsson hurts the Wild a lot more, and there are direct replacements for May. Thornton jumping in late was weak too.
