Stewart receives a 5 minute major and game misconduct, Kronwall leaves the game.

Discuss.

[brennan17]

Looked pretty bad. Hope he's alright..Pretty disappointed we didn't capitalize on that pp

[Aussie_Wing]

Man I hope it's not a serious injury, like a shoulder or wrist or something. Looked potentially bad.

And maybe it's my fault, I have both White and Kronwall in my fantasy team...

[GMRwings1983]

He'll get a suspension, but I have a feeling Kronwall will be out longer than Stewart.

Nevermind.

It's easier to be pessimistic, I guess.

Great post as always, Crymson.

Glad Kronner is back, but I still think that hit should get Stewart a few games. It was just dumb and unnecessary.

[vladdy16]

I about lost my freakin' mind when I saw that hit. Thank God all the doors and windows were shut because there were some serious epithets flying. I can't believe he came back the next period; what a beast. My head would still be ringing.
If Shanny stays true to form, my guess would be 8 games.

[jeff48109]

that is the exact kind of play the NHL wants out right?

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

Didn't see it. Hopefully a video will be up soon.

So what's your rationale for 8 games?

[Cajanek_Spielmacher]

I would think 2 at the most. I also would love to see the rationale for 8 games.

[Hockeytown0001]

I'd say that eight games is too stiff. I'd settle for three. Thankfully, he's okay, which I'm sure will factor to some degree in Shanny's decision.

[VM1138]

Two or three sounds about right. It was a dangerous hit, but I don't think there was an intent to break his neck or anything. Just a bit reckless, as pissed off as it made me during the game.

He should get at least 5. When the puck was loose and Kronner was chasing it down he skated more than half the width of the ice in pursuit of Kronwall, not the puck, and proceeded to board Kronwall. Had Stewart been going for the puck he could have taken it from Kronwall, or skated past him. He was deliberately not passing him in order to hit him, and proceeded to do so in a very dangerous fashion.

Due to the fact that he's a top 6 player, he's off the hook.

This isn't Campbell's NHL anymore, Shanny won't give just because of a players name... I'd guess 2-3 games, which is fair and which is all it should be - Have to take repeat offender status (which Stewart isn't) into account...

I didn't say I wanted 8 games, I said if Shanny hasn't taken his foot off the suspension pedal it would be 8 games and is based in part on post-game discussion. However, stevekrause is correct; 8 games would be based on repeat offender status, which I failed to take into account. Personally I would have rather seen the Wings score 3 goals on the ensuing 5 minute PP rather than any suspension, but.........
