Ovi speared Kadri in the ribs once, that's all I've seen. Kadri isn't going to fight anyone, no. You're right he isn't, but he should have to if you look at the history of cheap shots he has delivered. Sedin, Chariot and now this. Of course you are glad he is, because if he did this hit on Matthews on another team you'd be crying wolf.
I get the bias but Kadri turtles away from confrontation all the time. Great skill player, but someone is going to go knock him out one day because he is a coward. Then in the post-game media scrums he always tries to act innocent. Toronto is glad that "they know people" in the league office otherwise this guy would see some suspensions come his way.
We used to have a guy like that named Cam Janssen. The only difference is he would fight if he needed to, but often times his hits were absolutely late and he was head hunting. I hated him because it paints a bad picture. If Kadri wants to continue doing this I actually feel bad for the rest of his teammates because guys like Matthews, Marner and Nylander are going to be targeted and then you Leaf fans will cry bloody murder because of it.
