"Following Game 6, Alain Vigneault was asked about Bryan Bickell's overtime hit on Kevin Bieksa which went unpenalized.

"I'll let you guys handle that," he told to the assembled media.

Canucks GM Mike Gillis, for his part, wasn't as diplomatic.

"You tell me the difference between that hit and Raffi Torres," Gillis said, referring to the Canucks' forward hit on Brent Seabrook in Game 3 which was penalized.

"This was one was worse. (Bickell) left his feet."

Bickell's hit came midway through the overtime in the now-famous hitting zone behind the Canucks' net."
