I'll add game time and networks just as soon as the NHL schedule is updated ...
Cheers.

TSN showed a graphic where we've been better against the flyers as the away team... 11 goals as away team, 0 as home team
They need to break that Friday along with a few Flyers backs courtesy of Chez Weber.

Rumour spreading that Gally has fractured jaw, courtesy of Nishkinin - who should be suspended regardless of Gally's injury. My worry is that knowing the league, if they suspend Nishkinin, they will likely suspend KK to even things out and make it look like they are fair minded. KK's was a split second hockey play. Crosschecks to the face are absolutely unacceptable at anytime!

` The league will do nothing... Time to undestand that... They`re certainly not going to do anything to hurt the chance of a major US city winning the cup.

The boarding major and game misconduct made no sense.
Did Kotkaniemi launch Sanheim into the boards/glass? No.
Did Kotkaniemi make contact with Sanheim's head? No.
I really think that hit was a dime a dozen event in a league where checking is allowed.

He should have got a penalty for embellishment...

That video shows a deliberate cross check to the face.
Neither an "accident" nor a "hockey play with unfortunate results".
If a Hab did the same thing, we'd be expecting/calling for a suspension as well.
Do your job, NHL.

I am actually willing to set aside the question of embellishment. Regarding being sprawled on the ice, I will give Sanheim the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a tall gangly player lacking the balance to absorb a check that guys with stronger legs generally have. And I don't blame him for grabbing his head since he had a cut from his visor.
I blame the ref for misinterpreting everything. Sanheim was not thrown forward into the boards and what happened to his face had nothing to do with his head being targeting because it wasn't. Just terrible officiating.

Just terrible officiating. Chris Lee... why couldn't he be doing western games? So he could be basking in Leaf nation territory... ass clown.

If a Hab did the same thing, we'd be expecting/calling for a suspension as well. Do your job, NHL. Agreed. This wasn't a hockey play gone bad. It was a deliberate cheap shot. What makes it worse is the replay shows the referee in close proximity. He chose to do nothing. Referees are not supposed to be biased but how can Gallagher get crosschecked in the throat by Chara & now crosschecked in the face by Niskanen without so much as a penalty.

I missed half the other game because of my better halfs confusion with recording. Yes, i blame her because she reminds me every time i touch the remote that it's her exclusive domain. Bahhhh....
At least i saw all of the game after the disallowed goal.
Me thinks I'm going to wait for at least one period to either join with....i told you so...or too much hope.
Bipolar Hab fan i am.

Gally has a broken jaw. It requires surgery. He is out for a while.

When is the league going to announce that they are going to do nothing? Really, what is taking so long to decide. He crossed checked him the face while the referee looked on. He's going to miss games. Vigneault's explanation is idiotic, it happened because Gallagher is short?

Just when Gallagher was getting going.
There HAS to be a suspension.
Otherwise the league is partisan.
Height doesn't matter. The camera angle from the corner glass shows Niskanen was skating toward and looking at the target the whole time--i.e. Gallagher's head--and extended a cross check with enough force to break his jaw.
Gallagher didn't duck or raise his head at the last second. It was seek, aim, destroy. I don't care if Niskanen isn't "that kind of player". Neither was Chara, remember...
Nothing less than DONE FOR THIS SERIES is acceptable.
