Toefuzz 58 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 I think it's safe to say that he's not gonna get suspended. They are building up the suspense and will not announce it until after warm up before Game 1. To make it more exciting they will drag him off the ice chained to the back of a zamboni. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plopster 136 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 The replay shows that Abby was fully expecting to body check him and he pulled up at the last moment. So instead of Abby contacting the body, he gets him on the button. He may have lead with the elbow a little but you can see clearly he was just going for the check. Sometimes guys would just be better off taking the hit rather than avoid it. It can cause hits like that and knee to knee hits which we have seen. I don't know why if you know it's coming and can't miss it totally you don't just check back to lessen the collision. A lot of injuries these days are the result of guys not accepting their check the right way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
