Toronto's Joffrey Lupul fined $10,000 for cross-checking Detroit's Patrick Eaves.

Phew. We almost had to see McLaren again.

Yay!

Like I said, he hit him in the shoulder, and the stick rode up, watch it people. The fine was just to let him know to be in control of the stick and mind a bit better. This has been nothing but a press over reaction.

I guess that is one less suite in his closet.

Ridiculous. He should have got 2 games. It doesn't matter what he was "aiming" for, it was retaliatory, he has to be in control of his stick, and Eaves was hurt.

I think it was definitely a suspendable hit. I think he got of easy... If that had happened to one of our guys we'd me screaming for a suspension

Maybe RC should stop telling his players to cross-check opposing players while cameras are around and rolling

So if he tells his players to hit more and someone hits someone from behind it's basically because he said to hit opposing players?

I think he got off easy, too.  At first I suggested it was a fine or 1 game at the most, but I'd forgotten about his earlier suspension.  Given that, I'm surprised he didn't get at least 1 game.

I'll take it, though!

You're reaching with that one.

Reaching off the original reach.
