Avs winger beats the brakes off of Jordan Eberle as retaliation for Eberle breaking Andrew Cogliano's neck
Last season, the Seattle Kraken stunned the defending Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche, knocking them off in the first round. To add insult to injury, Jordan Eberle threw a dangerous hit in Game 6 that resulted in a broken neck for Andrew Cogliano. If you have not seen the hit, here it is:
Well, Eberle was finally forced to answer the bell for the hit last night when the Avalanche took on the Kraken in Seattle. For the Avs, it was Logan O'Connor who drew the task of exacting his pound of flesh. Credit to Eberle, he took his lumps - and O'Connor didn't go easy on him either.
The idea of fighting in hockey is archaic to some. To others, it's just a part of the code. The Avalanche had a player go down and miss significant time because of an injury suffered on the hit. In their mind, Eberle had to answer for it. Now that he has, everyone can move on.
