Brad Stuart of the Sharks may be in trouble for a hit to the head on Rick Nash of the Rangers...

Edit: Here's the hit (not the best angle)

Rick Nash of New Your Rangers leaves with injury - NHL.com - News

Quality sucks, but it's a different angle at least:

I don't see an elbow in either. The first angle looks like the glass hits Nash in the head. The second one shows he "chinned" Stuey's shoulder.

I saw it live and didn't think it was a penalty. Still don't. But Nash is a star, so Shanny will some riding in on his white horse.

Phone hearing so it won't be too long.

Let's run it down:

Conclusion: 3 game suspension

Time for a little Karma. Nash literally and figuratively skated right through that. Stuart should not be punished at all.

Arthur Staple ‏@StapeNewsday now #Isles are returning D Griffin Reinhart to Edmonton of WHL today.


Mike Halford ‏@HalfordPHT now One day after Reinhart says he doesn't think "there’s too much more for me to be learned" in junior, the Isles dispatch him to junior.

He might be ready. The Isles have to many Defenseman with one way deals. Next year Griffen will likely be on the team. It's to bad he can't play in the AHL, but we have to play by the rules.

I don't know how good or bad the Yotes are, but the Isles sure did a number on them last night. I'm looking forward to Friday's game against the Blackhawks. It should be a great test for the Isles.

Just glad to see Mike Smith get ventilated last night, a few more performances like that should take him out of the running for Team Canada in Sochi.

Yes siree, pardner.

I'm sure it's taking so long because Shanny keeps insisting that Raffi Torres "must pay" and be suspended for 25 games for teh infraction(s) and Stuart (+ Dougie Wilson, in same room, on speaker phone) keep telling him over and over that Raffi is on the IR and he had nothing to do with the hit...

I missed this bit of news earlier:

Charlie Coyle will be out at least three weeks after suffering a knee sprain in last Saturday's game vs. Anaheim. Zucker replaced him on Tuesday, but has since been sent back to Iowa: Veilleux takes over (at least for now) starting tonight vs. Winnipeg.

Also, Backstrom has been listed as 'day to day' after his knee strain from Tuesday, but it has already been decided that Harding will get the start tonight.
