The Eichel hit is worthy of a DPOS review. Head is the principle (and sole) point of contact.

The Jake hit looks nothing like that. He doesn't pick his head, the guy is barreling toward him, and led with his face.

Yet same suspension.

- Tomahawk



The head was the principle point of contact. Boychuk didn't lower his head causing the contact to the head. Voracek raised up into him and initiated contact. I haven't seen the Eichel play so I can't comment yet.

W/O V in the line up tonight hurts our depth for sure. He has been playing a pretty tough game lately and will be missed.

This game is the kind we drop after beating some better teams. Like Coots was saying that they need to start right out of the gates on this one.

They need to set the tone early on. Good luck Flyers. I believe.

Not sure what Gordon's thought process is here in starting Elliott tonight... We really gonna throw Hart straight into the fire against the Caps after a few weeks off?

The Flyers have stated that they aren't going to play Hart until he is 100%. He might not play the next game either.

How does everyone know he was defending himself? Maybe Boychuck was going for the puck...

Bill, with all due respect I think you are giving the NHL too much credit. It doesn't know what its doing and the inconsistency is proof that it hasn't yet figured out what it wants to be. I'll say it again, suspensions are a way for the NHL to move liability away from itself and on to the players in future lawsuits... You'll see it argued in court in 10 years time.

How do you know he wasn't defending himself? Jake gets the benefit of the doubt here because he has a spotless record. Girlchuck does not.

I don't like that decision either. Maybe Hart needs more practice time.

I'd be more comfortable with that. Kid's been out quite a while and we want to throw him out vs the caps? Who knows I guess, hart would probably come out and stand on his head.. just not used to that kind of ability in our tenders.

is Hart backing up tonight? If so, I would say being ready is not an issue

I doubt it matters to Hart who his first/next opponent is. He just wants to be in the crease.

Mjl said he hadn’t proved anything to deserve a spot on the team though so your opinions invalid
