Carkner asked no questions at all. Props to Boyle for taking on Neil later in the game. The Sens stick to their strategy they've used all year: Late game comebacks. Good to see Neil with the clutch OT goal. Its always the role players this time of year

Is it me, or is there a pleasantly high amount of fighting so far in this year's playoffs?

It really picked up yesterday. I like the idea of what Carkner was trying to do, but I'm not sure why he didn't challenge Boyle. Boyle is a terrible fighter for his size, but he did accept Neil's challenge later.

The SJ-STL had a nice semi line-brawl last night.

Yeah I wonder if Carkner will be in for game 3.

Loved seeing the Skarks get tossed around.

Continued today with Philly/Pittsburgh.

Carkner with the massive suckerpunch on Boyle and then continuing to pound away when he's on the ice. What a POS.


I kind of can't believe it but I think Shanny has lost control of things here. He may be doing an even worse job than that idiot Campbell.


EDIT: Honestly that's probably pinning too much of it on Shanny, though his inconsistency isn't helping. But when the players feel like the refs and the league aren't capable of handling things, they'll try to take care of it themselves.

Hagelin suspended for three games

After watching the video, I've further concluded that the NHL has no idea how to enforce player safety.

Bulls***. And Weber gets a little fine? Orpik gets away with a blatant knee late in the regular season?

This league is going to hell. Its obvious Shanny doesn't have the final say in these things.

It was the kids first offense. He never had a major penalty before. I'd say 2 games at most. He got 3 because Alfredsson didn't return to play.

Are we supposed to be surprised that all-stars like Weber get treated differently?

Now this is what pisses me off. Weber doesn't get a game because Z isn't hurt but Boyle wasn't hurt either? I hate this league.

Most likely due to Carkner receiving previous supplemental discipline for the same thing.

Hagelin got 3 games for his elbow!

Ok but isn't Weber a repeat offender of something?

He's Russian. Star Canadian players cannot be repeat offenders.

Also, the NHL has no consistency.

[DatsyukDangles13]

Shanahan is brutal. His biggest thing is if the player is hurt, but why should that matter at all. Should be punishing the action itself instead of the result of the action. Certain players will react differently to various hits.

Was there a memo sent out the League on-ice officials?
