    Thornton suspended 15 games.

    So Honoured Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and current NHL Vice President of Player Safety B. Shanahan's decision on the length of suspension was based on: Let's say Thornton didn't receive the earlier minor penalty; does that suggest that Thornton's suspension would have been less than the one he received?

    12/14 GDT : Penguins 4 at Red Wings 1

    If this was an afternoon tilt, it would have been a great game for the national NBC network, except for two things: 1) Today's schedule is filled with Dew Tour and PGA Tour programming 2) NBC still thinks the NHL schedule starts on New Year's Day.

    Shawn Thornton attacks Orpik (leaves game on stretcher)

    I've read that Shanahan is examining this case very closely, as he wants to send a "message" regarding this type of shenanigans. But c'mon!!! Does the League allow "lobbying" by owners, who want to act as lawyers representing their "client", who make a phone call to plead their client down to a lesser charge? If it happens, the rest of the free world doesn't hear about it.

    From The Score: Never saw this coming. I could be wrong, but I don't you can use "God" as a character reference on the application for permanent residency.

    If you can't beat 'em in the shootout, beat 'em in regulation.

    Shawn Thornton attacks Orpik (leaves game on stretcher)

    Sadly, this is the kind of incident that has to be cleaned up after the fact. It's a shame that Shanahan is the man on the job. Once again, he has a chance to send a message to one and all...loud and clear. Let's see what happens.

    12/6 GDT 7:00PM: Red Wings 3 at Devils 1

    After the first fourteen Away games, ten is the most wins, (along with 1949-50, 2001-02, 2005-06 and 2008-09)), while 7 is the second best game-differential (wins - regulation losses) in the League's Modern Conference Era (the best: 2008-09 with eight) and the third best in Club history (behind 1951-52 with 9 and both 1949-50 and 2008-09, both with eight).
