Sorry I watched that player safety video twice.One great angle clearly shows that it wasn't a skate it was a shin shot.The other angles seem to look like knee shots.Player Safety sadly had to give Brown something due to the outrage of his last none suspension.The knee turning as they claim was pretty funny.
 
Damn dirty Kings!
I'm really surprised he was suspended for how little contact to the knee and more of the skate on skate. I guess it is what it is .
 
After watching the hit a million times over I blame Sergy.

He dived way right trying to avoid the check (losing the puck in the process) and Brown clipped his skate and he went tumbling.

I agree the pens and kings are not good trading partners. Yes i believe your scout was at a ahl game of ours lately. The Kings are ideally looking at a top 6 lw or/and a top 4 defense man . As talked about elsewhere on the kings board the only thing i see is that makes sense is Mitchel for Ian Cole and 4th or 5th As for ur other question nhl ready prospects Mersch Auger MacDermid Oscar Fantenberg There is also Moulson who is playing really well in the ahl 29 points in 26 games. Also i may as well ask what the Pens are looking for maybe i can find a fit that way

our biggest need is a 3rd line center that can fill in the top 2 lines and not look completely lost for a short time. we would probably settle for a forth line upgrade.... we also are looking for a top 6 lw if you are too that one is out. imo we could also use an upgrade on dee.....as far as cole goes he a solid defense man with a good first pass, skates well, can play any where...best when paired with a more offensive d-man or could be used in a shutdown roll.....he's the kind of guy any team would want to add at the deadline, so I don't see us moving him....there were rumors that he was on the market because he and the coach were butting heads and was benched for a few games. but he is back playing and doing well. could be just showcasing him, or they kissed and made up. our best winger that I would be willing to move is sheary not because he bad, but I think he would be the easiest to replace but he a right wing. so the only thing left might be a minor trade that we might be able to flip for what we need from another team. other than that we have some 3rd -4th liners, "b" prospects that could be moved .......and we are loaded at goalie with good young kids jarry, desmith, gustavsson.

Now they're using Burrows kneeing Hall as an example of why he should've gotten more.

I've seen this a few times in the last 24 hours and it's the most mind boggling thing ever. The only similarity is the word "kneeing." Not sure how a check gone wrong at all compares to a premeditated retaliatory takedown through linesmen followed by several blows to the head with a knee. That's some serious medication some folks are on. That's like comparing Petry slicing Carter's leg to Chris Simon stomping that dude's back.

I'm dying laughing at the idea of your accountant telling you to suspend yourself into a lower tax bracket
 
The only thing Brown has really done to impact a game since Dec 21st is the Pittsburgh thing, and this Tampa thing. Maybe screened a goalie on a PP. He's got 1 PP point since Nov 14th, with the 3rd most PP time since that day. And he does screen the goalie these days, unlike the last few years. You'd think he would pick up a stray point here or there, but no.

the center u need from us is nick shore He can play up on the second line and not look lost. He had some offensive upside in the ahl but Sutter may have sucked it out of him However he plays hard defensive mins here and I can't see us moving him. We do have Gaborik who when healthy can be a top 6 lw however he has not been healthy or motivated playing in our bottom 6. There is also Moulson who is buffalos property on loan to our ahl club. He seems to have turned his game around 29 points in 26 games at my last look. However he is still signed for next year at 5,5 million. Now a long shot if ur interested i recommend Micheal Mersch He has a goal scorer touch and seem to get alot of goal in the dirty areas of the ice. He is however is a slow skater and imo not given a fair shot when he was up for his cup of coffee. We are also loaded in goal with Peterson Campbell and Matt Villalta

As i stated elsewhere i don't see the kings interested in Sheary nothing against him but the kings seem to prefer there players over 6 foot The last few didn't last long.

He has been doing his job but not getting his points. He can't be blamed for Doughty shooting it into the defensemens shins or Muzzin shooting high and wide. If you haven't noticed our players have a hard time getting it through and hitting the net on most pp. Only 30 pp goals in 158 attempts compared to 51 in 194 attempt by the top team.

Oh Eklund, never change:

" Some quick hits to start today.... FULL Rumor Chart update tonight...

* Hearing Ottawa is getting SERIOUS offers for Karlsson and not yet committing to move him...I keep hearing Tampa and LA...Also the NY Rangers..."

A season and a half of Doughty and Karlsson...oh my!:popcorn:

Fast forward to 2019...The Kings announce the signing of Drew Doughty and Erik Karlsson to identical 8year 10.5 mil contracts. Agent Don Meehan was seen running through downtown Toronto throwing 100 dollar bills .

That's not a good hit. You know it. You can't skate straight at a guy and not expect him to veer off. Skate on skate or knee on knee, it's a dangerous play. Brown got what he deserved.

But knee on knee and skate on skate are two completely different penalties with two completely different likelihoods of injuries. Yes both are stupid plays but there's a big difference between a stupid trip and a major with a game suspension for a knee.

Is there a big difference? The job of the player safety office is to minimize the occurrence and impact of dangerous hits. This is a dangerous hit. Sergachev was fortunate to escape without major injury. You can't convince players to avoid knee on knee hits if you can't convince players to avoid playing chicken like this. And this is coming from a fan that has enjoyed watching Brown demolish opponents with open ice hits for over a decade. I get what he was trying to do. He's just going to have to get out of the habit of still going for the hit when he's gonna miss.
