Looks like Pinelli will miss some time….

Under/over is 5 games I think.

Pinelli will be suspended after that hit.

Kingwell has been a pleasant surprise, but he's been coached by another guy all season.

In earlier posts, I have decried the lack of discipline both in general and specifically within the team's leadership group. Stupid penalties late in games that cost them points and position. Again today, a pointless hit and a richly deserved Match Penalty, with, I assume, a 5 game suspension to follow. Just plain dumbass. There seem to be no other consequences.

In the game, we got pummelled in the faceoff circle. That highlights our paucity of centres.

I'm going to have to write them off more often I think. On that basis then I'm predicting they won't win another game. Kingwell has put up some good numbers with Navan the last 2 seasons and is doing well so far as a 67.

Kingwell has strung together a few good outings. Let's hope that builds his confidence and keeps it going.

Regarding the discipline, I will be a bit of the devil's advocate here and state that Ottawa has the 3rd fewest penalty minutes in the league and have been first overall for most of the season. In most games I have seen live, they usually are for the most part the team that "keeps their cool" more than the opposition. I do agree with you that in some cases the timing however may not be the best. But I think the bigger picture problem has been that the penalty kill has been a disaster, so that will highlight any case where some lack of discipline will be emphasized.

I am in no way excusing the kind of hit Pinelli will get suspended for, make no mistake.

What I do want to point out is, seconds before it happened, he (Pinelli) was being roughed up in the corner while on the ground and without the puck. The camera angle does not show very well what kind of shots he took, but he was obviously very frustrated by the lack of penalty call for the abuse he took, and came out very frustrated.

Also not Impressed on Saturday with the Attack's Gabriel Smith (6.03 198) starting a fight for no reason with 16 yo Kohyn Eshkawkogan (5.10 164) during an after the whistle melee.
