Yup, I want to make this very clear for everyone. Before Finals Match 2, Shawn ran past me and tried to get my attention. Since he was running, this tap may have appeared to be a "shove". It most definitely was not. It was just a fairly intense moment and a huge misunderstanding. Shawn and I have been friends since we were 12 years old, and I know he would never ever do anything to intentionally disrespect me. (Well, except crack jokes about my fantasy hockey teams.)
