No. Star player with concussion history. Jersey is irrelevant.

opps double post...:okay:

yes and no...
He's supposed to be our power forward of the future.

Fair enough - I can accept Shanahan's explanation. But why call it roughing when the elbow was clearly involved?

Lol anyone that plays with the Sedins can score goals. If you can't then you shouldn't be playing in the NHL.

Exactly.

The dude needs to take a page from Burrows' playbook. You don't need to be scoring or setting up plays to keep yourself in AV's radar. There's sooooo many other ways to keep yourself in the mix with, or without the puck.

Anson Carter is living proof of this lol

That dude was the definition of a plug and he netted 30 + goals with the twins

Actually, Carter was a solid 20 goal scorer in his prime. Yup, total definition of a plug.

even tho he put up some points in previous years the Canucks were his last time he played decent on.

Flyers Pengs game is goooood.

my goodness the flyers vs penguins game was the most insane and bunk game i've seen yet this season

fail vokoun.

is matt read injured or did he come back?

Look if that happened to any canuck player, it would be scrutinized to death whether the intention was to injure, so take the blinders off and watch some hockey.

Hossa isn't in my pool. I said I play fantasy hockey and losing players to stupid moves like that is annoying.

:lawl: wtf. wasn't there another game earlier this season where a team tied it late and then blew the lead under a minute to go.

half way through the 2nd, avs have 4 shots on goal

wtf lol

I know, I was only referring to that idiot's post above mine. Carter's 421 points in 674 games aren't 'plug' numbers.

Burrows only has 278 points in 537 games, even Carter has better playoff numbers than Burrows. OMG, I guess Burrows is a true definition of a plug!!

The one gamer was basically because "Hansen didn't do anything wrong, but Hossa got injured." Nice to see that the NHL is protecting the stars, but if Hossa got f*cked up by that, imagine what would happen if he got nailed? If he's that fragile, he shouldn't be playing in then first place.

Way I see it is that was a hockey play. I didn't see intent to injure. Hansen has no history of supplementary discipline. While that was an UNSAFE play, it wasn't malicious. It was also quite light and if that's all it takes to concuss Marian Hossa, he shouldn't be playing yet.

That being said, the NHL has to do more to remove as much contact to the head from this game as possible. I'm not for reducing legal hits or fighting BUT plays like this could've been removed if both players were more careful. We don't lose anything from the game's entertainment value if two guys don't jump for the puck whereas fights and big hits are fun to watch.

I thought $10,000 for sure. How can the NHL suspend Hansen when they just gave out $10,000 fines for a slew foot? A slew foot is quite a dangerous play and certainly more malicious than Hansen going for the puck.

Devin Setoguchi fined $8,108.11 on Tuesday for this....:fulloffuck: NHL protecting its stars...:fuckthatshit:

Yea, pretty much...we traded a top 6 forward for a 4th liner... quote me on this by the end of the season

o lawl'd...

At least uneducated hockey "fans" like you are good for a laugh or two every now and then.

Tarasenko got absolutely flattened, the hit was clean though - wasn't to the head, didn't leave his feet. Tarasenko had his head down and Olver just put his shoulder into his chest.

It's not our fault Cody Hodgson is a whiny phaggot

Fuck, go cheer for the Sabres if you're still butthurt about this trade

I'm not hurt, I'm just saying...you guys don't have to read my posts.. you guys seem more hurt than me tbh lol and I never said Kassian was a plug, I just said he was a 4th liner..

And if you guys play hockey, it's pretty easy playing with the Sedins. You just read the play and skate to open ice or go to the front of the net and wait for the puck to come to you, if you can't do that, you shouldn't be in the NHL.

Canucks lost 3 straight. We're all butt hurt.

Except for the ones who are butt hurt from the buttsecks
