Playoffs are different. Here we need to rack up points. That starts with discipline. This kind of hit in the playoffs, where momentum dominates, undoubtedly draws the ire (and retribution) of CK and Trouba; it could also lead to Edstrom replacing Brod in the subsequent game.
No, its DECEMBER and were in 1st place. NOW is the time to defend your guys. You take the 2-5-10 and you still get a 3 minute pp.
 
I dislike how suspensions are handled in this league.

Most suspensions are because you injured a player... those suspension games should benefit the team that lost a player to injury more than they do.

As in players should be suspended for the games against the team they committed the infraction against (within the same season) if that's not possible, should be against teams in the same division, and down the priority queue.

When has Trouba boarded someone into next week? Maybe I've missed something but his reputation seems way, way out of whack compared to his on ice play. Trouba seems really clean, maybe I'm blanking out on something obvious.
He elbowed Crosby clear in the head. The Penguins did nothing.

You rarely see suspensions in the league anymore.

All his big hits have been open-ice and with Trouba taking just a couple steps. Meaning, not charging. At least from what i can recall.

Didn't sauer have knee problems as well?
Maybe. I’ve always been susceptible to hamstring injuries, even with PT and stretching. Genetics are more important than we think.

Edit: Foppa’s foot is another great example of being born with rotten physical atttribures.
 
As far as I can remember those two have gone at it. Even in the COVID season I can remember Pasta always going out of his way to try to dangle Lindgren
Lindgren in a way created this by playing his game where he thinks he's 40 pounds heavier than he is. Even thought he's playing the right way, the word has gotten around that he's a Pit Bull in a Jack Russell's body. He is listed at 190, but he realistically looks like he's 180 which means he's giving up a ton of size in these one on one battles. We're now seeing him being exposed & it's not a pretty picture for his long term success.
