I'm having a hard time biting my lip with all this Motte outrage.
The "slew foot" on JC is people just reading into it way too much. Just part of the play.
The one on Gaudette is just guys competing. Did you notice anyone else on the team intervene? So what if things got a little bit nasty there? All sorts of things could have lead/lead up to it. EP slashed Gaudette for holding his stick and no one is crying foul about that and it should be the same thing with Motte/Gaudette.

Lockwood has a swagger to him
Chatfield/Rathbone looked a bit unsure/nervous.
Scmidt is going to be a JT Miller-esque upgrade on the back end
