Lupes! Getting one for Komarov

So that fight was dumb.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

I know it's the wrong part of my brain to listen to but I wouldn't have a problem if someone like Winnik took a run at Ovechkin here.

tsk tsk....naughty Nik...though I totally agree with you....

and WTF is this 'compete level 4' under your profile pic?

 

[Damian]

After that cheap hit Ovechkin on Komarov, then Wilson, someone needs to run Ovie and tune him up, good, send a message

It's just a joke.

I'll say.  You should be ashamed to not be at least at Level 5.

 

[Kessel Run]

Ovechkin and Wilson with garbage plays.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That Tom Wilson is a fool.  He's been trying to fight guys since the middle of the 2nd period.

Holzer cold clocked a linesman.

Guy looks like a lunatic out there. Hopefully Holzer doesn't get into trouble for that, I'm not sure what the leagues standing is on accidental punches like that. But Holzer has been really good the past two games. Probably better than any two games Robidas has had this season.

I always figured it was like DEFCON where lower is more.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kadri has been pulled from this PP too...sigh...now on the PP with Clarkson and Lupul so Holland is off the PP.

Coaches with forwards playing the point on the PP often adjust that mid-game for certain situations. Like when they have a big lead and you'd rather not risk a short-handed break. I wouldn't think too much of it, I'm sure they'll continue with the experiment.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I'd say Holzer got the best of that linesman.

He's a lot more composed than I remember of him from 2 years ago.  Seems a lot more confident.  He's actually been a pretty decent comparable replacement for Polak in terms of physicality too.

Leafs get blown out by Sabres.

Montreal hands Buffalo at least 3 of 4 points in a home and home....how is Montreal tied for 1st place in the NHL right now.  They have scored 3 more goals than they have given up on the year.  I know good goaltending plays into that but what an average team to be leading the league.

 

[freer]

Holzer has impressed me over the last couple of games. Honestly I think someone will be fighting for a job once Polak returns

So, supplemental discipline for Ovechkin, or no? I hate those hits.

I would think so. Clear predatory hit on an unsuspecting player. Gotta factor in all the chirping Ovechkin was doing toward Komarov all game too. Puck wasn't anywhere near the collision. Should be at least a game.

But it's Ovechkin and the NHL doesn't suspend star players so no.

My guess is a fine.

My guess is a fine.

Slap on the wrist, you're probably right.

Well IMO someone  should of pounded him

 

[L K]

My guess is a fine.

Slap on the wrist, you're probably right.

And to be clear, I think there should be a minimum of a 1 game suspension for any illegal hit that causes an injury to the player.

Agreed on all counts.
