Haha trolled by Howard.

Wow Franzen is impressive. Stickhandling combined with runaway train speed.

Holy s*** amazing play.

Abby going for the Gordie Howe Hattrick

Haha what was that? Looked like a McCarty on Lemieux.

I'd recommend hockeystreams.com for European fans. Cost money, but you get every single game and all of them are HD if broadcasted that way.

Eh, its not like they know we're going on a roll. We could also be in a slump when we hit a break like this.

Hope Schneider is playing, I want the Wings to light them up but I have Luongo on my fantasy team.

Seems weird when the Pens have been playing like every other day so far this season.

Pierre Mcguire knows his s***. I agree with him on this call too.

Illitch: Definitely a new arena coming

Wow, he barely grazed abby's head.

I don't get it. Shanahan in his video says Ben Smith didn't significantly change his course enough for it to cause the hit, but the thing is that brendan smith missed the shoulder by like an inch and hit his head. So I'd be more willing to say that because of that very slight move to the inside by Ben that it ended up causing Brendan's hit to miss his shoulder and hit his head. Also as Ben is trying that inside toe drag his head is going forward a little more which sticks out to be hit. I'm not going to bash Shanny because of this but I think this is a little extreme suspension for a first time offender on an accident. I don't believe this is wreckless because if Ben wouldn't have done that move it would have been a clean shoulder to shoulder hit. I'm just surprised that this is the 2nd longest suspension of the preseason when I believe this is the hit that is closest to being clean of all the others.

Apparently they are going to wait until tomorrow to come to a decision on the smith/smith hit.

Wow could be 5+?

It'd be better if every player had their name transposed onto the ice under them and a blue circle around whoever had the puck. Would probably make the game easier to watch.

This is going to be interesting how Shanny reacts to this hit. In every video he has been emphasizing that the player with the puck didn't make a sudden movement right before the hit. Since Ben Smith did the toe drag moving his head forward and body back immediately prior to contact, it might be a clean hit. Not every play where someone gets their bell rung is a suspend-able hit.

So if Smith gets suspended what happens? I mean he won't even be playing in the NHL.

They took the wording east to west out of the rule. They also said that if it was a last second move then it wasn't on the hitter.

Is that a suspension worthy hit? It looked like the guy slowed up right before the hit so instead of shoulder to shoulder it was shoulder to head. It was immediately prior to the contact.

I think Chicago is embarrassed. Everytime Chicago gets a rush I notice that its with Kane, Hossa, Toews, Keith, and Seabrook.

Brunnstrom again. Him and Emmerton are looking awesome tonight.

More like Grand Rapids sucks

Wait is Chicago chanting we want the cup in a preseason game?

Brunnstrom = Holmstrom.
