Six games for Keith (just refreshed the TSN page). Misses the rest of the season plus one playoff game. Keith and the Hawks got lucky.

He's going to miss one playoff game?

Does this mean he will have a tough time defending his Conn Smythe?

As yes, good old Conn Smythe - Didn't he one famously say "If you can't smack 'em in the head with a Sher-Wood PMP 5030, you can't beat 'em on the ice"?

He may just have been trolling but pj stock said last night that virtanens hit was worse than what keith did

/better bet is pj stock is stupid

Are there any guys left who use wooden sticks? A cross check just isn't the same with a composite I hear.

Cracks me up a bit because before this focus on head hits came to be, every NHL analyst who was an old timer or played basically complained because "wussification! It's hockey! Be tough!" But geez, at least it's somewhat a part of the game and not simply assault with a weapon.

Honest question: Where would you set the cutoff?

The way I see it, it has to be an arbitrary date. And if you start making two day exceptions, why not three day? And five day? And 10 day?

There's always some kid way older than the rest and one way younger. I would prefer to see the cut off date be Sept 1 or something so it aligns better with hockey season. But yeah, cut off is cut off.

He will look lazy because he's so big

Thanks.

For a second, I was going to rail that I couldn't believe he got suspended at all for that.



Then I realized it wasn't widdle Jeffy Carter.

Caps helping the Wild tonight.

Absolutely dominating the Avs tonight. Caps outshooting them 29-13 through two periods and the shot total doesn't include 4 posts hit in the game by the Caps.

Even some "Holt-by" chants from the crowd despite being on the road.

Tom Wilson absolutely leveling Nikita Zadorov, who has not returned. He skated off okay, hope he's alright.

Caps fans along with some Colorado grass, eloco.

Bruins hold on for a 6-5 win against the Bluez. Somewhere in Michigan, Higgy is cursing.

I guess if i wait long enough someone will post the extended clip that shows the full scrum and tryamkin cuffing another duck aside

^Bull, meet China shop


Caps outshoot Avs 47-19, with 5 loud-ringing posts that don't make the stat sheet.

Isles, Pens, Rangers, Flyers... get ready to get fucked up whichever of you draws us.
