Apparently there is no 'official' video of the blow, but the announcers and people at the game described it as Johnsson, who wouldn't drop his gloves to play the piano, skated into range and caught May's punch flush. Johnsson went to the ice, face-first. May looked as if he was lifting Johnsson to deliver another blow when he realized that Johnsson wasn't moving.
Later Ducks coach Randy Carlyle did his best imitation of Michael Corleone at a congressional hearing, offering this fact-defying version of events:
"Well, I didn't get the video of it until about five minutes before we went on the ice," he said. "It wasn't made available to us through the replays of last night's hockey game. I guess it was a hand-held camera by somebody other than the broadcast crew that was covering it. The league sends it to us.
"What I saw was a scuffle between Adam Hall and Kent Huskins and it was Shawn Thornton getting involved, and there was a push, and then May and Johnsson came together, and then punches started flying."
You see, in Carlyle's world, Bambi's mother provoked the deer hunter.
EDIT: The Hanson Brothers are offering to teach the Wild "how to put the foil on"
SECOND EDIT: This is the only video I've found, and the May/Johnsson event occurs just off camera. But listen to the idiot Anaheim announcing crew....
