Johnsson, Wild still upset about punch by Ducks' May in Game 4
STORY TOOLS 
More from NHLKim Johnsson has recovered from the punch to his head that knocked him out of the last game, but the Minnesota Wild is still sore about it.
Eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks in their first-round playoff series Thursday night, the Wild remained angry two days later that Brad May — a fourth-line wing for the Ducks who has only 11 goals over his last four seasons — injured their best defenseman and was suspended by the NHL for only three games.
"I feel that's not the way to do it," Johnsson said. "If he wants to fight, at least tell me that he wants to do something so I can protect myself."
In his first public comments since the hit in the final moments of Tuesday's Game 4, Johnsson showed a slight bruise under his left eye. He said that May called him to apologize, declining to elaborate on the conversation, but acknowledging that it was heated at times.
Crosby played with broken foot: NHL scoring champion Sidney Crosby played the final 2 weeks of the regular season and the playoffs with a broken left foot, an injury the Pittsburgh Penguins star didn't disclose until Saturday.
Crosby revealed the injury when he explained why he won't play in the world championships in Moscow. Crosby was expected to join Team Canada for the second year in a row after Pittsburgh was eliminated by Ottawa in the first round of the NHL playoffs.
Crosby believes he broke a bone in the foot while blocking a shot March 16 against Montreal, but he didn't miss any games. He had five goals and nine assists in his final 11 regular season games and three goals and two assists in five playoff games.
