edicius 3,269 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 Exhibit A: On one hand, you can say that since the headshot didn't connect and there was no injury, there's nothing to suspend. On the other, however, Malkin was clearly trying to take Giroux's head off (and lost his balance a bit when Giroux ducked, so the momentum was there showing this wasn't just some attempted little tap) so you could make the argument for intent to injure. It's just such curious behavior from the team that was speaking out so loudly against headshots (and Matt Cooke's been relatively quiet this season, so you can't even blame it on him).

Krayzie_Bone 58 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 Greasy play but I dont know if you can really suspend someone for a head shot if they did not hit them as dumb as that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 I swear, the Penguins must have the words "Nothing Short Of Ultimate Douchiness" stenciled in gold glitter above the door of their dressing room.

sputman 1,268 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 maybe a call but nothing more. but how about giroux's ninja-like reflexes there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 maybe a call but nothing more. but how about giroux's ninja-like reflexes there! I thought that was rather impressive too. Would have been hilarious if Malkin took a header after missing a la Pronger trying to take out Yzerman that one time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 Malkin scores goals, so he's exempt. I thought this concept had already been established. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MCleveland89 122 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 This is really pathetic. He should get a call from Shanny just for Shanny to say "Really bro?" 1 Hank Dats 'N Homer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commadore183 103 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 A fine at most. I would be hesitant on suspending someone for something that wasn't called unless it was really egregious. Seems like the Penguins should change their team logo to this, and the team mascot to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
