Bickel was being grabbed and persued by two wings before he even got to Smith, no chance.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I saw several immediate scuffles afterwards, but all 4 refs were there eeeeemeeeeeediately.
I had to dislike rep you for that usage because of where it comes from. Other than that I agree.
Here's Bolland right next to him - no one in between. And at the time of the hit, Bickell (since he plays small, his name shall be written small)

that's funny because I don't see Bickell in that picture... In the video, he is already being grabbed to slow him down at this point. And what you failed to mention is the first thing Bolland did is slashed the stick out of his hands at there. But it's already been mentioned that no one wants to see Bolland fight. I guess with a history of back problems, and concussions getting in a fight in preseason. Yeah genius.
BICKELL - BICKELL - BICKELL
HE WAS 10 FEET NEXT TO BOLLAND. WATCH THE VIDEO.
I WANTED BICKELL TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE IN A GAME OTHER THAN TAKE WRIST SHOTS FROM THE PERIMETER. I ONLY HAD THAT PICTURE OF BOLLAND TO SHOW HE GOT TO SMITH WITH NO ONE NEAR HIM. BICKELL AT THE START OF THE PLAY WAS EVEN WITH BOLLAND AND DOES NOTHING - DISAPPEARS. ALL THE WINGS WERE TURNING UP ICE AND THE PLAY WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF.....BICKELL.....HE WAS ACTUALLY CLOSEST TO SMITH, BUT SMITH HAD TIME TO TURN, SKATE IN FRONT OF HIS OWN NET NEAR BOLLAND...PASSING...GET READY....BICKELL.
WATCH THE VIDEO AND EXPLAIN HOW BICKELL HAD THE ENTIRE PLAY IN FRONT OF HIM AND SMITH FINISHED THE HIT, WENT ALL THE WAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF ONE FACE OFF CIRCLE, TURN, GO IN FRONT OF HIS NET, PAST BOLLAND, TO THE OTHER BOARDS WHERE PEOPLE GATHERED....AND BICKELL WAS BEING HELD BACK FROM GETTING TO HIM, THROUGH ALL THAT?
THE PICTURE I SHOWED WAS INTENDED TO SHOW NO ONE - OTHER THAN BOLLAND - NEAR SMITH PROTECTING HIM FROM GETTING CHALLENGED, JUMPED, HIT, ETC
I WANTED....AND GET READY....BICKELL TO INSTIGATE A FIGHT. A WING SHOULD HAVE HAD TO FIGHT....BICKELL...FROM KEEPING HIM FROM GETTING AT SMITH
