Aren't you a Ducks fan?

I'll jump on the Wild's side. Didja see what that dirty, stinkin' Dustin Brown did?

Got home late and just fast forwarded through periods one and two. Brown being out is a bummer. I don't think he was aiming for the head. He was trying to make a big hit and the Wild guy did not see him coming. I don't think any further penalty will happen. Tied at two with the 3rd period to go. Kings play best in the third.

 

[esls79]

Aren't you a Ducks fan?

Yeah, I guess.

The Ducks must really be hurting for fans this year - got 2 tix for this Friday night against the Devils for a 25 dollar donation to children of military parents overseas - so I get to see two of the worst teams in the NHL play and the 25dollars is fully tax deductible. Sweet

Here's the hit. It's pretty close. Not sure how Campbell deals with this.

Thanks for the youtube, AJ.

Wow, not sure about that one. Fine at most.

wish I could go. I'd buy you a golden cold one. (Ponda beer is cheaper than Staples) but got a previous commitment. Mom in law will be buying dinner as part of it.

Did anybody else notice the blank tunnel was in place behind the Kings bench when Brown got tossed.

Thank you ripper...

Nice work, esls. Are you no longer in Whitefish?

 

[SLY]

alright back, didnt miss much im guessing.

Yeah looking at the hit it is a tough call. Brown was aiming for the shoulder but during the shot the Wild player's head drops lower that his shoulder and Brown hits his head. i don't think he was aiming for the head or if the head was the primary contact point. Since Brown is know as a "clean" hitter that may weigh into the ruling.

 

[SLY]

he wont get any suspension... Possibly a fine to really make it known to not go for the head, but it may just end with the ejection... we shall see.

yeah, you can't help when the player drops his head as he shoots, it happened so fast. He really shouldn't get a suspension for that, a fine yes, suspension no.

I hope so, too. But the ref made an OK call. Probably only a couple inches away from being a really bad hit. Glad Miettinen's OK. A 5 minute major and game misconduct makes the point, but with Campbell you never, ever know. Ever.

No, I live and work in LA now. Been here since just after Christmas.

That's quite the change in lifestyle, but I like LA (more of a NorCal guy. though).

Wild playing a bit smarter this period, they finally got their feet moving.

I don't disagree with the call. Brown was at fault. He needs to get in front of that player a little more or learn to make that hit to the hip. He can't be the wrecking ball on the back check as much this year. I am just hoping for the best.

Under 5 to go kings should start the attack now.

 

[esls79]

Westgarth will get the winner in the shootout tonight.

Book It!
