Then the week long guessing game of whether he's ok or not... while he's practicing and taking the pregame skates but still a scratch.. only to find out he had a broken neck and he made it worse by skating and forced to retire...

That's par for the course for our medical staff.

I did find it kind of curious as to why Lecavalier was traveling and skating with a broken back.

Back spasms morphed into a fractured back.

Wilson will be suspended longer than Thornton.

For a clean hit?

then why was it a major?

Tocchet just saying poop, was he concussed too?
- feelingkettle

? what's he saying

Anybody see this? NHL Venn Diagram of hate

i remember him throwing reckless and dirty hits in the preseason, i knew i would grow to hate him. didn't know it would happen so quickly.

Schenn turned a little, but that was a totally uncalled for hit. Very dirty play. I just watched it a few more times, Wilson was skating at a very high rate of speed.

They did it on the scoreboard, but I would have no issue if they went after the Caps.

Good clean hits.
- flyer_nutter

keep pounding them with clean hard checks, solid forecheck. agitate after the whistle. get the caps off their game and make them take some dumb retaliation penalties

It was a charge. Borderline boarding. Can't blow up guys along the boards like that anymore, even if it was from the side. Wilson could have easily pinned Schenn to the boards, instead of destroying him.

- -davies-

Went on a rant about players turning to the boards, and half way through realized what he was saying, and then said it did not apply to this hit. He was just saying poop.

You guys see that Patrick Kane backhander? Holy frank.

Take a look at Kane's goal for Chicago vs Nash. Absolutely sick backhand goal. As a tender u don't expect that. Magic

That wasn't a clean hit. Not even close.

at the very least it was charging. come on.

Grossmann's lucky the fight didn't last long... he's built like an ox, but Wilson's a total freak of nature.

that hit was as scary as it gets.

i think schenn has to be aware, but wilson has to let up 2 ft from the boards.

or

next time someone just throws a stick or elbow up and destroys his face
- FBONES19

Yeah, I wish guys could get their sticks up & defend themselves in today's game. If Wilson knew he was gonna get a mouthful of Sher-Wood, he doesn't take 5 strides before the hit

then why was it a major?

Because when Schenn is flopping around on the ice after a hit like that the refs have no choice.

Kane's better than Crosby and OV

- keatondixon

about as clean as a baby's diaper.

he deserves 5 ... but will probably get 1.

Is Grantland the creation of that Bill Simmons tool?

He was FLYING from the top of the circle

ur a genius

what are you saying ... that Schenn was faking being injured?

? what's he saying
- -davies-

He said Streit's shot was going at least 110 mphs
