‘Okposo was in some pain, but popped up because he doesn’t believe in laying on the ice. In my mind, that shouldn’t matter. We hate when players embellish, but the league encourages that with plays like these. Okposo said. “I don’t like that, since you were a kid you get taught don’t stay on the ice, it’s not my style, I’ve never been one to stay down, but if you stay down and get the five minute, maybe that game’s different. It shouldn’t matter if the player’s hurt or not.”’
