Spacek and Emerson were involved in an ugly collision early in the second period, which resulted in a 10-minute stoppage as Emerson was carried off the ice on a stretcher. Spacek was given a five-minute penalty for charging and a game misconduct. The replays looked like neither player was at fault as Florida vehemently protested the call. He didn't see me and I hit him. I talked to the doctors and they said he'll be ok.
Nobody wants to hurt a guy.
I had the luxury between periods that I did get a couple looks at it. It was a drop pass and Spacek was already in his motion forward. They hit the lower bodies. Spacek flipped up and it might have looked like he left his feet to make the hit. No. 8 and then hits the ice.
