I think Hansen was pointing the finger at the players 100%.

He would be stupid to call out the coaches if he wanted to play a regular shift.

He endured a year of Torts without saying a thing. That quip was aimed at the vets.

Nah he would be ok...only the fourth liners get benched on this team.

Where are people getting all this info that PIT has big interest in Dan Hamhuis?

This has a lot of good advice. except the pray to god crap.

I don't think he gets suspended, it's a bit of a broken play and he's bent over trying to get off the ice see's him at the last minute. Maybe he get suspended, but I think probably not
- neem55

I dont think so either. He was hit head first into the boards and looked woozy. Was having a tough time getting off the ice and ref came into him from behind.

I think the interweb or a ouija board. I had a vision in my coffee grounds this morning.

I had a vision last night too it was of Kate Beckinsale...so just like that ain't gonna happen for me Hamhuis ain't going to PIT.

- Scooby_Doo

What??? He skated almost a third of the length of the ice. His head up....with the linesman right in front of him, the whole time. He knows exactly what he did and he will be suspended for it.

I heard he just sustained a season ending injury.
Shoulder again i believe?

Oh nvm: "that came to an abrupt halt last week as Anton Rodin suffered a skate cut near his knee and is out of action for the next 8-10 weeks"

http://www.vancitybuzz.co...-rodin-demko-hobey-baker/
- Whiskey-Tango

A skate cut his leg in practice.

The guy is having a tough year, being assigned to defend against the top line of every team without much in the way of help on his wings is tough. It's a tgrowing season for Bo, bit of trail by fire.
- neem55

I agree with this. If he played with say hansen and burrows he would look much better defensively but his points wouldnt be there as him and Sven to a lesser extent Vrbata have really got some chemistry going.

Interesting about Rodin. Where would he play? Is it going to be an all Swede first line? Doesn't hurt to take a look at the kid I guess.
- VANTEL

I thought maybe with Horvat and Sven. Then if you put Sutter with the twins it would leave you to put Hansen with McCann which would probably help stabilize him.

- Bullfrog77

I don't think he was looking at the linesman. He was looking at the bench trying to get there after having his head hit into the boards.
What reason would be have for cross checking the linesman? He didn't even stop to help him up or say sorry. He was totally out of it and needed to get to the bench.

Quite frankly, I thought he gave the linesman an extra little shot. It didn't look accidental to me but I am clueless and like to bang my own drum and put people down, so what do I know.

The fact he raises his stick and smashes the linesman to the ice says ....he saw him. He's gonna fry for it too. Even if you believe the pie in the sky stories, the optics of it are horrendous. The refs union would lose their poop if this guy gets off. League won't let it happen he's getting 10-20 games. It's right in the rule book only thing up for debate is intent to injure or not.
