Plus I think that trainer in the background is famous:

Existing NHL suspension thread Or the thread you made on this same hit.

Ewww... Who's uglier when they complain? Gretzky or Crosby? They're already compared in everything else anyways.

No. He has been suspended indefinitely for his hit on Ponikarovsky. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=605435

Last PHX-DET Matchup Next Game vs.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

REX! This is ******* unreal. Somewhere, Gretzky is crying.

Does anyone else LOVE the way Kindl is developing? Flip is a two way beast.

Winning is a whole lot of fun. We should go back to doing that.

Remember the last time the blues made the playoffs? Me neither...

I think Conner's backhand shot was deflected by the Yotes defensemen there, looked like a good shot to me.

Care to change your prediction? Wings are flying high early!

Why is this topic pinned? Its pure conjecture on the OP's end.

Here's another decent article on Mursak's progress. Enjoy Aussie. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=605411

We'll all get over it. If you can't get over it, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm 100% certain that my ability to enjoy a Red Wings hockey game will not be diminished one bit if Kronner and Stu can't leave their feet anymore when they hit someone.

Mursak is a somewhat physical player, and actually sticks up for himself a bit which is nice to see on this team every now and than. That said, Mursak wont be a physical game changer at the NHL level, hes probably a bit less physical than Helm is but with his speed and ability to play a bit physical he will be definitely be a step in the right direction. An energy line with Helm and Mursak will be awesome to watch in the playoffs, they both will play off eachothers strengths really well. Now if they could find someone ABdelkader could play off his strengths with, this team would be better off. I'm pretty sick of having grinders who pretend to be skilled guys and put up under 20 points a season. Take Miller and Eaves money and throw it at Prust this offseason. Mursak will be a nice addition though over someone like Miller thats for sure

I will be streaming the game at http://freeredwings.tv.

I'm enjoying watching jollymania making an arse of himself. Still carrying my name around in his sig like a prize joker. Doesn't know two things about hockey.

Jolly: Havlat hit was clean. Heatley hit was borderline. The last two videos were all charges. They were all called except the one, which should have been called. What's the problem, again?

I thought this thread wasn't about Fistric, but rather Kronwall and Stuart. If you want to discuss the Fistric hit, haroldsnepsts was kind enough to point you to two other threads discussing the topic, including one you even made.

When your feet leave AFTER contact, it is because of the process of using your legs to propel yourself into a player, which is usually upwards. When you leave your feet BEFORE contact, you are essentially dead weight in the air (due to there being no fulcrum at the ice where you can be knocked backwards more easily) and can cause a lot more injury to a player's body, including the head. The Shanaban video shows Fistric left his feet before contact. That is a charge. Stuart had at least one foot on the ice before contact. Or are you blind?

Fistric left his feet. Not sure what the issue is here.

completely agree, taking hitting away

They got in for $50 million and they're getting out for over $1 billion. I'd say they've maximized the investment.
