I saw it.
Jarkko Ruutu (from the Vancouver Canucks) went out of his way to nail Jagr, and this is exactly the way he plays for the Canucks and why he is on the Finnish Olympic team. You have to have some guys that still have some grit as well...which is why guys like Kris Draper plays for Canada and Jason Blake play for the US. Guys who can kill penalties (most superstar players don't) and forecheck to force turnovers.
Joe Sakic looked pretty bad (fractured cheek) after he took the inadvertent high stick in the Swiss game, but that's hockey...
