I did not see any cheap shots by Madlax but I was at the other end of the field. But retaliation to a cheap shot is still bad sportsmanship last time I check. Its all fine your team is better then Madlax I never said they where not I just tried to put out that Madlax had a chance and kept it close. Maybe they will get a chance to play again this summer. I
Retaliation would have been a Hawk's player slashing back, not scoring an empty net goal in a 2 goal game. Pulling the goalie out of the crease and doubling the ball is a defensive strategy that just about everyone uses. Scoring in that situation in a 2 goal game in my mind would not be unsportsmanlike.
