Brown isn't going to get anything because he didn't actually pull off what he was attempting.

Stop bitching about the "suspension due to the result". That just shows an incredible lack of knowledge about the game's dialog in the various sports outlets or they are just homers upset about the home team losing a skater.
Hockey is still in the minority in most of the sporting markets in North America. In the instances that dialog is presented, it's going to be about the severity of a particular hit and all the concussion/modern science/fighting talk is going to be the in the spotlight for the entire league. Taking care of problems the next day with detailed video replay w/discussion is the best thing the NHL has done...out of all the major sports on this issue.

I don't see how Bob's opinion has any more weight than mine considering he was wrong anyway. Everytime I watch the video, Eller's head is the first thing to move, backwards I remind you, when the players collide. To me that says the head was the principal point of contact.
It's over now anyway, everyone who said it wasn't going to be a suspension was wrong, and the suspension doesn't help Eller heal any quicker, nor replace his offense in the lineup.

Gryba never tried to hit his body. If he wanted to hit him cleanly, he would have aimed for eller's left shoulder. He got 2 games, he'll be back. It's not like it's alfredson. Maclean's comments though are fuckin dumb. I don't care where your loyalties lie, that was some stupid shit to say and he's not helping his team.

:lol nice gif
Still stupid. The point is that he intended and attempted to clearly injure a player. Should be like in a criminal case when a person is charged with conspiracy to commit murder or attempted murder. I know the vocabulary is not the same, but I think the basic ideas in both situations stick.
I thought the hit was extremely careless. Even if it was legal if you go by technicalities, I for one am happy hits like that are punished.

It's not the hit that was punished, it was Eller getting knocked out cold and the injury that insued afterwards, otherwise there would be a shitload more suspensions.
The NHL is basically saying if someone makes a suicide pass you better let the pass receiver through or you might get suspended if he ends up bleeding...LOL
He lives!
Welcome back, CB. I know you hate me, but I'm okay with that.
Fuck the Habs. (hope Eller's okay)
You're back!
I'm sure you'll have a picture of Crosby stuck in your rear view mirror.

Wait wait I missed the salt mania last night, there are some dumb motherfuckers in here.
Gryba should have let up? WHAT IN THE FUCK DID I JUST READ?
I guess # 76 should have let up too.
but nooo, when # 76 does it, its a great fucking hit, the funny thing is that he tried it again in the next shift against a 5'9 Pageau, and missed.
SHOULD HAVE LET UP BRO

Neil should have laid on the ice for 5 minutes and used a mini razor blade tucked in his glove to cut his head open a la WWE....then there'd be a suspension.
Shanahan is a fucking joke.
FUCKING LOL at Brandon Prust calling the Sens coach a bug-eyed fat walrus.

Officiating in the playoffs has been a joke in general, at least in the games I've seen. Can't wait to see how many 10-minute misconducts for light shoving we'll see tomorrow.
So TSN, CBC, Sportsnet, NBC, Pierre Mguirre and all other non habs fans think its a clean hit, even fucking RDS thinks its a clean hit, basically everyone in the hockey world thinks so, what does Shanny do? Suspend the guy for 2 games for a body check.
If anything that mother fucker should be apologizing for the fucking 5 minute power play, interference my asshole.
RIP Hockey.

NHL should fine Prust for that walrus comment. In any other league he'd get fined. Let's try to make this game more professional...right now it seems like a bunch of immature adults on ice.
Drive safe man.

On the other hand we still won and the Habs are down a complete first line.
Sweep incoming
Wait wait, Mclean should appologize for blaming that hit on #61, like everyone else is doing, but Prust is ok for calling an NHL coach a fat walrus? Then saying that he hopes Gryba doesnt get injured so he could get some revenge or some shit. Yeah I would pay to see that you dumb fuck, go against the 6'4 230 guy and see what happens.
HAB FANS. <3
God doesn't close a door without unbanning an angel or something. I failed 'metaphor and proverb' in school.
Thanks, man. Always a long haul. Should be on the road by 6 and arriving between 12 and 1am.
They were willing to accept Brown's assertion that he stuck out his knee and elbow to brace himself for an unexpected collision.
How often do you do this drive? I did some work in Hamilton last summer/fall. Some good pockets amongst the mostly bad ones there. Love that little area near the Starbucks on Locke St.

Rome's hit on Horton (it was late, but Horton had his head down) gets 5 games in the Cup Finals.
Weber goes WWE on Zetterberg and gets a fine.

This gets nothing.
This also gets nothing.
I am still waiting for the video explanation that he does, we're probably going to see it on AlJazeera instead of NHL.com with Shannahan on his knees reading a note while a gun is pointed to his head by a guy wearing a Habs jersey.

Every 2-3 months or so. All direct family is there. Job and married life are around Montreal.
Hamilton gets a bad rap. Plenty of nice spots like the one you mentioned.
best thing ive seen all day. maybe all year.
GEE WHY WOULD SOMEONE CUT OUT SEVERAL FRAMES LIKE THATWait wait I missed the salt mania last night, there are some dumb motherfuckers in here.

BECAUSE THOSE FRAMES TELL AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FUCKING STORY
CakeBoss, it's good to have you back. You're a zany, sometimes funny, occasionally annoying, always entertaining guy.
But anyone who ever thinks "Cake Boss just made a good point!" should make sure their next thought is always "Wait what... let me read that again..."
Welcome back.

wut?
Oh but you using stills is completely fine?
If anything your gif proves my point homie.
Get over it, everyone outside Montreal thinks its a clean hit.
If thats god's work, then it explains why there is misery, war etc on this planet.
Agreed.
