I haven't found video yet, but Hell has frozen over.

In the second period last night, a Blue Jacket player's stick got up near James Neal's face. He flinched and the ref blew it dead prepared to call a penalty.

James Neal - yes, THAT James Neal -skated over to the ref and said that the stick never touched him and he was just reacting. It shouldn't be a penalty.

And it wasn't.

No idea what the DOPeS will do, but if the League were serious about head injury, they would suspend him for a year.

He is scheduled to have a hearing for that elbow and LeBrun weighs in with the following:

Methinks Pierre has taken a few too many elbows to the head himself. Like anyone gives a rats @$$ about the ASG.

Well, aside from the host city and the players (I mean, it is a nice perk), you are correct sir.

They just had their 5 day break lol - Besides, Tampa Bay isn't that bad, is it?

/Never been to Tampa
That's the NHL schedulers' faults.

Tampa's fine, but why would a player want to take part in some boring skill comps and a nothing game when they can be out enjoying themselves?

Only if they mandated that any bonuses that he was going to receive be forfeited right along with his salary.

Yeah, the All Star game has little meaning to me now. Wish it was regular East/West or North America/World again.

Marchand gets five.


So, will there be a new event at the ASG?

Come on man. This is his sixth suspension, that's not including all the close calls he didn't get suspended for. He's one of the best players on the planet, we're going to say it's an accident? This guy with superhuman hand eye coordination just suddenly lost control of one of his limbs?
