When you turn around and spear someone in the nuts it's as blatant of an attempt to injure someone as it gets. Plus you can permanently injure somebody by doing that. It's just bad and lovely.

That's another issue. The NHL seems to define "intent to injure" as trying to knock a guy out a few games.

A nut shot isn't going to do that probably, but the whole goal of doing it is to make the guy hurt. A slash is intent to injure. Fighting is intent to injure.

The game is literally built around "intent to injure." Defense men don't get plastered to the glass every single time they clear the puck because it promotes longevity.

Granted there's a big gap between "ruptured testicle" and "oh gently caress that hit made my shoulders a little sore" but if you want to be super pedantic, it's still an "injury."

Whenever someone mentions testicle injuries in hockey I think of this.

I also like to imagine it says confusion.

I mean, everybody can bitch about the refs as much as they want, but at least every series has had the PP chances difference be close except for the Oilers-Sharks.

I haven't watched a single one of the games but there's no way an 11-9 count in Columbus/Pittsburgh is calling it fair.

The Canucks/Sharks series a few years ago had the penalties something like 3:1 in favour of the Sharks.

I'm happy with tonight's result against the Toronto Maple Leafs of Toronto.

If one of the Toronto players decided to spear Andersen in the nuts on the way to the rink it might help improve their chances next game.

Orpik has been on the ice for 50% of Toronto's goals this series.

I wanted another OT but sloppy Brown/Carrick giving way to a Soft Goal on Andersen robbed us of that. Thought it was going to be a blow out with the way that game started though, so at least it turned out somewhat interesting for a little while.

Anderson's been all over the place. He was great in game 4, not so much in game 3.

I'm an Oiler fan and this non stop whining about the refs is ridiculous. The Oilers have had two games where they've played flat out dumb as hell when it comes to discipline.

Gary can definitely do better. Should be 22-12 us like the Edmonton series.

Andersen has been great, aside from tonight. McElhinney is a good backup but he has been mostly playing sheltered games so his stats aren't really comparable.
