9/28 Exhibition GDT: Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

paging Dr. Shanahan...paging Dr. Shanahan....

Finally, some real action.

Now we'll hopefully see Abby, Ericsson and Janik goon it up.

Grab Kane, Toews, Keith and Hossa and pound away at them boys!

Yeah he is getting a few games

I think he will get the rest of the preseason and 4 regular season games.

[redwings1914 18]

So will Smith's suspension start when he's first called up?

[Konnan511 1,736]

Mursak is out till december

Not new news.

Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen, Cleary, Filppula, Holmstrom, Hudler, Helm, Eaves, Miller, Bertuzzi, Brunnstrom, Abdelkader. Who is Emmerton better than? Not to mention, i see tatar getting extended looks and Johnson playing more than a handful of games as well. Then once Mursak is back, i see little to zero playing time for Emmerton. So again, how are both Brunnstrom AND Emmerton going to be regulars? It's going to be one or the other.

Clean hit, if shanny suspends him this league is a joke

[deltawing 12]

Who hit the Hawks player? I just missed the replay

[pvilleguru 65]

Smith hit his shoulder before he hit the head.

[kook_10 1,705]

get him a towel, wipe up the tears, and lets play hockey. I mean come on....

[wings1110 184]

ben smith moved right before the hit, smith was aiming for the body, and ben smith jerked back causing him 2 get hit in the head. Idk...

[PrairieDawg 52]

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.

[russianswede919293 95]

unintentional and resulting from ben smith putting his head down at the last second...

but it was east west and a hit to only the head.

Brendan Smith's pre-season is now over...That is a definite suspension.

Not cool bruh! He looks pretty messed up.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

No way.

Shanny won't forget that Detroit is his former team and where he won Cups.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Hopefully Ben Smith is okay. I think Smith's (Wings) reaction shows he didn't want to do that, but it certainly was a bad hit.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Not cool bruh! He looks pretty messed up.

It's just Smith on Smith violence.

Chicago signed a bunch of thugs this offseason, so if they don't like it, why don't they do something about it.

unintentional. would have hit the shoulder if he didnt drag it.

That's.......going to be a lot of games for Smith....

[CrossCheck24 2]

That hit looks way worse in slow motion, in real time: smith fakes a shot, other B. Smith bites on the fake.

Slo mo: deliberate hit to the head.

Clean hit, if shanny suspends him this league is a joke

Umm that's exactly the type of hit that is being suspended. Plus he was injured. I say 2 games... but its a player not likely to play in the nil right away.

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.

[WingZNut13 99]

I think Shanny is going to get a lot of criticism if he doesn't suspend him. People will remember he played at Detroit.

He'll suspend him simply to prove a point and to avoid league wide criticism.

[redwings1914 18]

Jesus they have been rambling about this for 5 minutes now.

[Konnan511 1,736]

It's just Smith on Smith violence.

What does the CBA say about this?

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I think Shanny is going to get a lot of criticism if he doesn't suspend him. People will remember he played at Detroit.

He'll suspend him simply to prove a point and to avoid league wide criticism.

Then he can forget about ever having his number retired.

[Brunnstrom 3]

BRUNNSTROM

I think that he already made it on the Wings roster. Put him on the Datsyuk line and he will score 35 goals, believe me.
