All would've been fine if he'd never left the ice with his feet. Now, Lord knows what Shanny does.

I don't understand the logic behind these hits, Torres-Seabrook, Rome-Horton.etc, all it does is galvanize the other team.

Tonight the Yotes were taking it to the Hawks until the hit. Then they went into a shell and bingo, goal scored against them.

Shanahan needs to do something. There's guys littering the ice this post season. It's stupid.

Yup. Only now getting some momentum back.

After all those suspensions handed out today, you know they'll want to say "Stop this you crazy bastards." I've never seen so many suspensions/fines in one round.

The had the chance to stop it earlier this year. Instead, they took their foot off the pedal with the suspensions and now it's a joke all over again. If they would have just been consistent after what they started in the pre-season they might actually be somewhere by now.

The rest of the playoffs no matter how long that is.
PLayers need to fear justice because a game or 2 for taking out the stars of the game is worth it.
I hope they reduce the equipment and enlarge the ice next year.

I think Shanahan, to send a message, should restart all the playoff serieses. Nothing that has happened counts. Yes. That will show the players.

Toss the helmets. It would calm down real quick.

Didn't look like he was malicious, but he definitely left his feet and contacted the dome. With the way Shanny hands em out I don't know whether he'll get 5 or 1.

Does Neal's suspension today do anything to indicate that Torres will get the remainder of the playoffs?

They shoot the puck too hard nowadays.

It's what I hope for, but based on the suspensions handed out Toress past should get him 3-5 games at most

Of course, Hossa's in the hospital so that probably means an extra couple of games. Ridiculous that if a guy is hurt has any bearing on the decision IMO.

It makes me laugh when they try to punish based on intent.
Like any player will admit he was trying to kill someone.

No worse than the Hawk announcers the other night.

Punish the act, plain and simple. Perhaps a multiplier for history, and history is indefinite. None of this 18 months BS or whatever it is. If Cooke stays clean for another 6 months he has a clean slate?

This was passed along to me from people saying they were... my apologies. Very hotheaded right now.

- Desert_Dog

players would get killed if they didn't have helmets in today's game..and I literally mean players would die...game is way to fast..pucks are shot too hard and guys are too strong.

I think Torres gets a big suspension...repeat guy that I known as a pretty dirty player...book will get thrown at him as it should.

This should help, Hossa has left Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
