Kassian gone for two games

[puckhead]

Jaden Schwartz out for the tournament with a broken ankle.
I swear he played a few shifts in the 3rd period in that game on that busted twig.

also, De Haan will be in the game tomorrow.
He could have played vs Norway if it was an important game.
Cody Eakin will also be back for the Sweden game
Canada's Schwartz out of tournament with fractured ankle

 

[puckhead]

looks like Sweden is going to be missing a few players too
Landeskog - ankle sprain
Marincin - suspension (3 games)
Hrasko - suspension (2 games)

That wasn't even interference in my book. The puck wasn't far from Kassian's stick at the point of contact.

And the "head area" described anything above the shoulders. Neck, tops of shoulders, and head are the only things included. Collarbone down is legal, and this was below the collarbone. Even by the strict IIHF rules, this was a legal hit.

I agree.

They only made the call because Senkerik was laying on the ice, and he was punished further simply because of his reputation.

He was faking an injury to slow down the tempo of Canada's quick explosive offense

The hit was completely fair by NHL standards. His shoulder hit Senkerik's head because of size difference and the fact that Senkerik wasn't looking for the hit.

IIHF however has these stupid rules that any hit to the head is grounds for a match penalty, regardless of intent or the situation. I think the hit did get his head so the match penalty is warranted.

The Match Penalty has a suspension attached to it but 2 games? just give him the minimum 1 game since the hit to the head was out of Kassian's control.

The Blues have themselves one heck of a prospect. He & Tarasenko look like they're legit. Sorry Sens fans.

No it didn't watch the reply! It's like darkstone said there is NOTHING wrong with that hit. For pete's sakes watch it again.

He didn't leave his feet didn't his head didn't blind side him. what the hell do people want?

Take off the rose colored glasses and watch the video again. Give me a break, if that.s illegal then I hate to say this but on Cherry is right. This sport is headed to the tampon machine. Jesus Christ !!

The only way I can see why people think he hit his head is because after contact is made, Senkerik drops his head down towards Kassain.

The hit itself was nowhere near the head at all, or did he make contact with it. He didn't even raise his elbows up or anything.

Boss I think this is part of Kassian's reputation. The call was total B.S.. He hit him shoulder to shoulder. It's not Kassian's fault the guy he hit wasn't ready for it. The whiplash affect came when he hit the ice. The penalty & the 2 game suspension was a load of CRAP.

I owe you a rep for this Darkstone, I can't give anymore out today. Well put and very accurate.

I understand that but what pisses me off is there are people that think it WAS a illegal hit. Thank fucking god they are not Ref's. Holy shit, that is right up there with the worst calls I have ever seen and I have been watching this game for 50 fucking years!

Un fucking real!! Take off the rose colored blow me glasses ! Damn! Not you DaBolts

I just get fired up big time when I see this shit. !!

Boss is going to blow a vein or something.
