Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

[Rayxor]

Well, at least we now know Craig is "pissed off" and he is "evaluating" the situation.

It might just be time for a logo change.

Keith Ballard blows out Corey Perry's left leg with one of his monster hip checks. Of course he had to fight afterward. Perry left the game, with assistance. Other than not being able to put any weight on his left leg no word yet as to the extent of the injury.

Looks like a clip to me. I'm thinking Ballard gets a call from the league on this one.

Ballard lowered his body and hit at the knees of Perry.

Freeze at 0.26sec of the video

I wonder what Kesler thought of going to Perry's defence?

No way, looks to be above the knees, his hip basically hits Perry around the belt buckle. (if he was wearing one)

If Franson is from Brandon Manitoba and not Sicamous BC, are we still talking about him with such admiration?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hip injury,i didn't think the knee hyper-extended like the commentator indicated

On the Ballard hit...KB is short and CP is tall. If that's illegal, hip checks should just be banned.

[Topper]

A clip is anything knees or lower, worse if the player lowers himself to make the hit.

[herb]

Looked like knee or above to me. Close.

Garbage hit ,I would club a guy with my stick if he bit me like that

[Strangelove]

Yeah it's a bad sign when even "clean" hits looks so dirty.

Hemsky healthy scratched again tonight. With 2 goals, and 7 points in 25 games, he's got 2 more years at $4M. Easily one of the worst signings of free agency so far.
