Or when they assess major penalties for hits to the head when a guy hits a guy clean in the chest?

I'm sure there's a specific reference there, but I'm not getting it.

Help me out...

St. Louis - Detroit game last week, 3-3 tie in the 3rd period, Backes hits a Detroit defender with an awesome check just as he released the puck, catches him clean in the chest, elbow down. Assessed a 5 min major (match) penalty for a hit to the head and Detroit scores the GWG on the 5 minute major. The league rescinds the match penalty, but I don't think that made the Blues feel much better.

Thanks. Just watched the video. That was horrible.

If the ref even had a basic understanding of physics he'd know that head motion was impossible based on the direction of contact.

Stoll one is a little tougher because Fowler definitely stopped right in front of him, so there's some vulnerable position considerations.

I would guess 1 game for Stoll.

During the game they showed a bunch of replays of this, and the part that is very incriminating is Stoll grabs Fowler's sweater, pulls Fowler towards him a little, and then shoves him away into the boards.

Shanahan was on NHL network explaining the decision not to suspend on a couple of plays.

Fast forward to the Hawks-Sharks game last night. Dejardins hits Mayers, basically shoulder to shoulder & same crappy call. Even before the game ended, the league says was clean hit & rescinded the match penalty. Sharls would have been on 4 min PP too.

That one wasn't too terrible, until he sort of used his forearm to hit his head into the boards.

It's reminding me of the NFL, how guys in the secondary pretty much can't touch receivers. Everything, even non penalties are being called and it is disrupting games in a huge way.

He's a Blue Jacket, he'll get 21 games

Whatever he gets from the league the team should add four for being a dumbass. They had momentum and just about taken the lead when Voynov scored. Had they stayed the course, they probably would have gotten back to tie it.

Oh well, at least someone other than Dorsett was the idiot momentum killer for once.

Pretty dirty spear from Franzen last night, I think 'The Mule' should sit for a game or two (yeah, he was hit from behind, but it was a love tap).

Yeah, that was pretty nasty.

It was a blantant hit from behind, not a "love tap" because he was pissed about something that happened a few minutes before.

Blues always go goon when they get beat like a rented Mule (pun intended), and they got a little taste of their own medicine.

No supplementary discipline for Franzen (not even a fine) - Well, I guess that means the next time a guy gets nudged into the boards from behind, he can spear a guy in the mid-section and the worst that will happen is a game misconduct (just over 7 minutes left in the 3rd when Franzen was tossed, what a joke).

Absent a direct shot to the head it doesn't look like there will be many suspensions this year.

That's irrelevant. He still big-time speared him. Franzen is a veteran. He should know better.

You can debate separately whether or not it should have been a penalty for a hit from behind, but that doesn't excuse a spear.

I don't think Franzen was disciplined for this skewer job either, Shanaban is an enabler...

Didn't realize he had done it in the past too. Yeah, only solidifies my belief he should have gotten a game or two.
