Yeah and Subban is the angel of the NHL give me a break crawl back into the miserable hole you came out of. The Habs by far embellish more than any other team in the league and it's sad to watch actually downright embarrassing if you ask me. Now in regards to Kronwall most of his hits are great and entertaining however this one was not as well done. He misjudged Kucherov's body position and hit his head with the elbow. I hate stupid people who make stupid comments like you just did. One game is sufficient enough for this hit but no more than that. And people need to stop comparing apples to oranges, no hit is the exact same and therefore can not be judged the same.

This made me
Damn Kronwall forgot to use the proper formula to determine the trajectory
of the hit in the split second he delivered it.

I'm not a fan of the suspension. Not b/c the hit didn't warrant discipline but b/c a player with NO prior history gets a game while others with no prior history only get fined and others who have history get nothing. Just another inconsistent ruling from the DoPS to add to their long list of inconsistent rulings.

Good luck tonight.

I did... and in my opinion he's 'lifting off' before the hit. He leaps into the guy instead of going through him. He doesn't get thrown into the air b/c of the hit... he gets thrown into the air because he is jumping.

Obviously we see it differently from each other, but I'm glad he got something.

Whether he was off the ice at time of impact is a small matter. The NHL's video message starts with the words "...launched into a hit". The momentum of his hit took him off the ice and it was this upwards motion that the NHL really made a point to emphasize.

Its about consistency or a fundamental lack of. The hit was dirty, intentional (or probably not) but was dirty. The issue is if you're going to suspend Kron for this, where are the other suspensions?

Ovechkin has had a couple of questionable hits yet no hearing. Double standard and it very well may cost the Wings the series...

It's not a dirty hit at all.
Kucherov is 5'11" and he is bent over on the play.
You can clearly see it.
And still, considering that, the principle point of contact wasn't the head.

This is embarrassing. This league has no standards and no commitment to getting anything right. The officiating throughout the playoffs has been laughable, nothing new. When you watch an NHL game with casual sports fans or fans of other sports it is no wonder they have ammunition against the NHL. Tampa has run Dekeyser, and Glendening in the same fashion as well as Abdelkador with blows to the head. P.K. Subban swings his stick like a warrior on a battlefield and receives no suspension!!!! I guess we can see where Gary Bettmann sides on this, his officials are a joke, his safety board is a joke and he is as well. I guess Cedric Paquette has a right to play although he intentionally took the skates out from under two very key Detroit players which could have led to head injuries. Quintal was a crappy hockey player and maybe he has a personal agenda. NHL....ha, I cant even defend it to my children who watch the WWE because at least we know their boys in pinstripes are following orders. Shame on you Bettman for further damaging what was once the greatest game, shame on you Quintal for being a yesman and a clown. Shame on the NHL for picking favorites. Oh and Stevie Y I hope your Lightning get you where you need to go. It isn't very far judging by the ratings the playoffs have been getting. Most sports fans expect equal treatment in their favorite league and a better standard for the governing body to hold true to. Maybe Subban can tee off on a downed players head on the ice, he already displayed his baseball prowess unpunished. SHAME,SHAME, SHAME

"...Oh yeah...all that stuff I did..."

To be honest, (frank) all the regulars posters here. They female doged about Abdelkader getting first line minutes, the female doged about Glendenng even playing. Bunch of know nothing (frank)holes, you can all nibble on my hang down we shouldn't even be in this series if Stamkos was in A1 shape. You know why I hang out in the Edmonton forum? They get hockey and probably have played. Pleaae me send a message there when you all grab a clue, Token is exempted from this rant. (frank) y all, I hope Detroit gets smart and pulls a Baltimore and burns down half the buildings in the city cause they ain't used anyways. Drops mic, flashes finger, (frank) y'all, I'll be back when there are real fans that remember the bad times.

JB go (frank) yourself

Umm pretty sure I never even wrote this, not sure what (frank)tard Oiler fan used my account but I wasn't even awake at 2. Nibble on my hang down was pretty funny though. Maybe I sleep typed this?
