Andersen was visibly shaken up on the play, and left to be seen by doctors as part of the concussion protocol.

Defenders of Sestito will argue that he was merely trying to screen the incoming shot. Critics will point out that Sestito was clearly reckless to the consequences of the hit and, you know, that he should probably have at least a vague awareness of where he’s going.
