Pretty much, that's the only thing that doesn't sit right with me at all. Especially since they literally happened days after each other, it seems completely arbitrary.
Edit: And yay, at rags sucking and pens having a shot to be top of the east.
He totally predicted that lol!!!Holy shit just saw it. Did you all see those moves?

I believe Doan's hit wasn't completely intentional just being careless, he also hit a man who had just previously had possession of the puck. IMO Keith targeted the heat with his elbow of a player who had not touched the puck nor was in a position to make a play on the puck. There was also the thoughts of retaliation that Keith may have had. Although they're both elbowing suspensions I wouldn't classify them as anywhere the same thing there's more to consider here than prior history.
Not defending all of Torres' hits, but saying he had enough time to let up is silly. Torres was already leaning into it when Hejda started going down.

Except for the part where he shifted his body weight into the hit even more after Hejda went down. He was leaning into it about three feet away before Hejda went down, but his angle was more of a passing angle than right into Hejda. There was enough time to back off, it's not as if he was already hitting Hejda just as he dropped to his knee. Plenty of situations like this happen and yet you rarely see a guy go through with the hit when he has time to back off or at the very least move his body to avoid as much contact as possible. If you watch Torres knees he brings his body up and into the hit as he makes contact.

...I really don't see how you can watch that elbow and argue that.
At first I thought it was kinda bad that Daniel had an elbow deliberately launched into his face, forcing him to miss minimum two weeks. But when I considered how the offender plays for the Hawks? Well that just made me angry.

And I appreciate that salty Hawks fans have taken complete ownership over the word salty and started using it indiscriminately. It's the right (salty) move. [/salty]

I think by "intentional" in this context he means "not planned for 5 minutes after getting hit by the very same player". more like, planned for 5 seconds within the same play vs. planned for 5mins waiting for a chance to hit the guy back.
I'm glad to see more people agreeing to the general "5 games for Keith is fine within the context of bans that have been handed out this season, but bans should be generally longer".

Waiting for Marvie to inevitably post one.
If that's the case, then absolutely.
Two things I totally didn't realize:
1. The Sens are only 2 points ahead of 9th place now. I thought they were home and cool for a playoff spot. If I'm a top seed I'd be hoping the Sens stay in...Buffalo has been playing some good hockey for awhile now and Miller is on fire.
2. The Wings have the worst record in the NHL over the last 10 games at 2-6-2. I knew they were struggling, but not that badly.

Couldn't watch the game, glad to see Kardi get the game winner. Dat move!
I still need to see 21 Jump Street. I'm also tempted to watch The Hunger Games.

Time to watch this move to see what the fuss is about.
Edit: Eh. Probably not too impressed because it sounded like he sprouted wings and shot from the rafters judging from your guys' reactions. Not bad though.

They were until they decided to only win 3 of their last 10 games.

Sens gonna get destroyed tonight.
Outside of a goaltending miracle, the Pens are likely going to beat the Sens by at least 3 goals tonight.
fixed.
so sad.Outside of Spezza, Alfie and Karlsson, this is a lottery team that has been put on its back by those 3 players.

Ugh, why do pens have back to back games again this weekend?

Backstrom is cleared for full practice.
Schedules can't be perfect. Every team has scheduling woes.
So they can get back-to-back wins?

I know, having a bunch bunched up at the end of the season sucks though. I wouldn't care if it was the game of the week so I can watch it on tv easier but it's not even that. :/
Well since it's home vs. the Devils I'm hoping we blow them out like the other games at home.
I wouldn't call the game on Saturday a game, more like an extended practice time for the Pens.

!?!?!!?! What box set?

That makes them a contender in eastern conference though.

10 Greatest Games or something along those lines. They have two volumes out.
*except for the Pens, who have owned the West this season.

Damn, didn't know those exist. I gotta order them.
eastern conference games are like rest nights for western teams so they can gear up for the next clash of western titans
They're pretty good, but the video quality from the early games has not been updated, so be prepared to feel like you're watching old VHS recordings of some of them.

Ya, pretty much what I expect from other collections I've seen. Still better than having nothing though.
FLUKE
See you in the Finals, man.
shit, i hope so!
Have you watched the "In the Room" episodes on the Pens' official site? The series is obviously not as raw as HBO's 24/7, but you still get to see a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff from the start of the season until now. There are 8 episodes currently available.

This is not funny after going out last night and people asking me about the panthers wearing my Garrard jersey. :|
I've seen a couple but haven't sat down and watched all of them. I probably should since the 24/7 stuff was always pretty enjoyable.
Any good trash talking videos?

I'm sorry, next time I'll make my complaints even more vocal. Pretty sure I have had a good enough reason to be completely pissed off the last 10 games, but nope can't complain when you are a "top" team right?
Speaking of which, lost number 7 in a row happening tonight? I mean we play a pretty weak team called Carolina, so of course we shall do our best to make them look like a bunch of All Stars, wonderful!!!
