After watching the Sens game tonight, I'm convinced and am with those who believe our medical staff is complete ass. Granted a slice is a little different than a tear, but Karlsson has been fantastic tonight.

The suicide pass that broke his nose.
Clean hit - too bad he got ejected for it. Luckily it didn't change the outcome of the game.

I wouldn't really say clean, but if Eller had landed on almost anything but his face, there wouldn't be nearly the uproar that there is.

Kinda weak, not unexpected. I'm sure it helped the NHL's case that Gryba's kind've a nobody. Gives 'em a chance to overpunish and tell everyone they're all about player safety.

Handing in any kind of suspension is just Pejorative Slured and the fact he got a 5 minute major for "interference" is almost as bad.
The guy looked down at a pass coming from far, right at the blueline. You get told in pee-wee not to do those types of passes for the reasons we saw yesterday.
I ****ing hate Montreal's fanbase. They're all over the place, they're loud as heck and they have ABSOLUTELY no knowledge on the game. Everyone (medio, fans, etc) was throwing their hands in the air for that "cheap shot" when the opposing player just hit the guy at a vulnerable position... THAT WAS CREATE BY ELLER'S OWN TEAMATE (Diaz).
Get a ****ing clue Habs fans. This entire city is out ot lunch on this one.

actually from reading the main board about this hit I'd say about 75% of Habs fans agree no penalty should have been given let alone a suspension. There's a very small minority who are screaming about it after seeing the slo mo and reverse angle replay.

Not according to the idiots who were calling in a radio sports station, right after the game. They wanted the guy suspended for the remainder of the post season and were saying that the "Chara hit" was on the same level as the one yesterday.
Anyways, year after year, I meant alot of new people and they always presume I'm a Habs fan and when I tell them I'm not, I don't have to look too far to give a solid reason why.
This entire fanbase irks me to the point of no return and I'l never cheer for them, no matter what happens... even if they land Volchenkov, I still won't cheer for them.

Me too and they just might with Gionta and Pacioretty both being out. I think the team just isn't that good to begin with so the Sens will probably take this in 5 or 6. I thought they would take it in 7 before the series started. They have looked like a bunch of boobs the last month of the season, and they also finished dead last in the conference last year with Carey Price actually playing even better. I realize most of that was because they lost guys to injuries, but they really aren't that good.
After Prust ran Marty a bunch of times last week that gave me another reason to not like them. After Erik Cole got traded I actually started to not mind them for a few weeks.
I feel bad for you. The 2 times I've had to deal with them have been bad experiences. Such snobby, ****** filled fan base. They remind me of Yankees fans.

Brandon Prust of all people is commenting on the hit? From the guy who has dished out his own plethora of dirty hits from the back and elbows galore? Boy, the irony there would be delicious if it wasn't so disappointing.

Just punched some numbers. Thought it was interesting.
Brad Richards signed a 9 year, 60 million dollar contract. Lockout aside, he has already made 24 mil in the first 2 years leaving 36 mil remaining. If he gets amnestied, he gets 2/3 of that 36 mil. Another 24 million. That brings the total money earned to 48 million.
If he were to sign a 6 year, 24 million dollar contract, which I think would be fair, would make a total of 72 million dollars over an 8 year period, the equivalent of a 9 million dollar cap hit.
Dude would make out like a bandit getting amnestied this year.
