A 2-minute minor is sufficient in this situation IMO.

near as i can tell his left foot was airborn and he had the snow on the bottom of his right skate blade still touching the ice at the start of contact and was airborn immediately after contact began. he was definitely jumping up into the hit tho no question about that; just timed it perfect. didn't appear to be targeting the head tho.


no suspension as series is tied 2-2. if it was 3-1 he would get a 1 game suspension to allow the rangers to get back into it.

atleast one skate was on the ice at contact. whether it the series is 3-1 or 2-2 there should be no suspension

"Russian" is not a race. :failed:

neither is Chinese, Indian, Korean, Japanese, or Vietnamese, right?

That's actually true. Race and ethnicity are related, but are not the same.

Ok this thread has hit rock bottom

CAUSE WE HAVE NO CANUCKSSSSS :yuno:

I have to say this years playoffs are boring. The west is complete snoozefest, the east is ok but the only series that I have interest in is the Philly/NJ series.

Wow, besides that hit, that WAS a great pass by Ovechkin.
Then his teammate hits the post with his shot.

If the puck had gone in, would it have been disallowed?
Seemed like a late penalty call on that play.
Play should have been whistled as soon as the shot was taken, or when #21 touched the puck.

1-1 this is going to be a good game today hopefully

Just asked James Duthie on twitter if a 8th place team has ever knocked off the 1,2 & 3rd seed before to make it to the finals and I never never knew a 8th place team as never even knocked off 1 & 2 before.

Wow... did anyone see this. Fucking brutal.

holy crap.. elbow/shoulder to the head. plus the guy skated back to the bench, sat down and shrugged like nothing happened.

Dirtiest hit I've seen in a while.

2-1 LA, the Blues are terrible.

I'm more surprised France has a hockey team....

I think at some point we have to start giving the Kings credit for being a good team too :lol

^

Oh for sure, they're playing some really good hockey. But the Blues can't get anything going for them, hence why they're terrible haha.

Bye Bye Blues.

Wow sweep

After watching the this whole series with the Kings and of course the Canucks I have to give mad respect to them as a hockey team. The deserve it and are the best team in the playoffs currently. Hopefully this layoff doesn't hurt them.

singing the blues

that was a pretty sick goal by brown there to stop the blues momentum

" They would love to get a big, hard, fast...start"

i like the kings, i hope they go all the way
