Should be? Of couse.
Will be? I have to see it before I believe it.

Looks like a shot to the head to me. From my understanding the league is cracking down on such penalties.

yeah, its the very definition of what they’re trying to crack down on, but taking away a wing from Pitt’s top line will make all the journo’s and tin foil hat wearers cry conspiracy that the league wants Ovechkin int he finals blah blah. I don’t think Campbell has the stones to make the call but we’ll see.

On a different topic, I thought Brown’s hit was way worse than Brashears, the only difference is Hudler didn’t smack his face on the ice when he fell.

Varly was too injured! He coughed up a lot of pucks, generally in the direction of the corners….

I briefly touched on it last night, but feared a ride of the waaahmbulance.

Meh. Crosby’s great play shouldn’t be tarnished any further by his teammate’s thuggery.

Still, I will be absolutely shocked if there is a peep about it from the league.

I tend to agree, but think that the upshot of this whole incident is that the refs will be looking at Pens around the net with a little more scrutiny, I’d think. And while having Kunitz out for a game or two would be nice, a well-timed power play might be nicer.

The ref is standing 3 feet away looking at the play. How do you miss that??

Situational reffing. Pens were 2 goals down and trying to make a furious comeback. The ref isn’t going to kill the comeback right there by handing the Caps a PP. This is a descriptive statement, not a normative statement. That’s just how NHL refs work nowadays.

That’ll show him.

Dude makes $3.7m per year. He literally makes $2,500 while sleeping every night.

Joke.
