I've said before, concussion protocol is a week to 10 days minimum.

Its a not rocket science to figure out the accompanying suspension.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Tom Wilson goes head-hunting again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vheK8-o_OVI

Yeah - "keep yer head up" and all that - but he was nowhere near the puck.

Yeah...the Caps actually scored to tie the game about 12 seconds later as well...

....you can also see Stankoven take a retaliatory run at Protas he he passes to Chycrun who then scores....

He literally just played the puck.....

He goes in to retrieve the biscuit behind the net and then plays it back the other way while continuing on. Wilson probably didn't even see that he passed the puck because in real time the hit is less than 1 second after he passes the puck. Watch the time on the YouTube feed when they do the real time. He touches the puck at 0:44 and the impact is before it ticks to 0:45.

Good non-call on the interference side of things.

Head contact was obvious, but they do consider height difference when reviewing these.....and the slow-motion replay doesn't make me think Wilson is intentionally going for the head, he's just going for a massive hit and it happened to be on a midget.

I wish Wilson was a Canuck.

Barry Trotz figures out he is a better coach, than GM.

As bad as the Canucks have been, they have 1 more point than the Rangers in the last 10 games.

Wow, what a cope. Other teams sucking, sure takes the sting out from being in last place...

Hey, look at that car wreck over there. Um, nothing to see here.

Their $11.6M has sat out the last 3 games and will continue sitting out. Ours has dressed... at least I think he has. Hmmm, better check the boxscores to make sure.

As much as I hate the rangers, I really don't want them to suck THIS much.

The Preds' new owner has hired a search firm to find the right guy to run the hockey operation. Says he wants to learn how the NHL works. He'll find the right guy and build the organization around him. He has already learned that Barry Trotz is not the man for the job; a quick study.

Suddenly, I have a strange urge to adopt the Predators as my favourite team. ;)
