Congrats CBJ fans. What a way to win your first series.

Also has anyone checked on Wonderllama?

COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

So the NHL announced that it will not be issuing any supplemental discipline for P.K. Subban targeting Jamie Benn's head in the game last night:

uhh.. as you can see in the clip provided, seems pretty identical (or worse) to what got Kucherov suspended in the lightning series?

NHL discipline at it again. Can't remember the last time somebody got suspended for a hit on a Dallas player.

That was bad, but I don't know if it was worse. Benn at least saw him coming.

That's how models work, they're updated with new information. A team is less likely to win the Cup if they are losing R1 0-1 than if they are winning 1-0.

The reason I say it looked worse was because the principle point of contact in Kucherov's case seems to have been shoulder to shoulder / chest, whereas Subban deliberately seems to target Benn's head.

Supposedly the Stars "won't forget" the incident though, which sure makes me feel better about the whole thing.

Number19 posted:

Erik Karlsson has been on the ice for 13/18 goals against for the Sharks. He's looked pretty bad and is clearly having mobility problems

Yeah, EK should have been benched for the rest of the season as soon as he injured his groin. It's a trauma that takes an incredibly long time to recover from, and is highly susceptible to re-injury until it's fully healed. And as someone who has suffered a few groin injuries (playing hockey, as it happens), one of which I thought was a sports hernia but ended up being a really bad adductor tendinitis that took a year to recover from, sans surgery, and currently working through another similar though less serious tweak, literally anything can put you into a position that restrains your groin. It's the stabilizer for your lower body in sort of the same way that your abdomen is the stabilizer for your whole body. Once hurt, you will hurt it more by anything that recruits the relevant muscles: turning on it, pushing off of it, absorbing impact that forces the muscles to engage, etc... I exacerbated a similar injury once by simply catching an edge falling onto my side, where the muscle involved wasn't yet strong enough to handle the tensing on impact. So, personally, there were two hits in particular that Karlsson took in games 1 and 2 that I think may have knocked him right back from feeling good to feeling hurt. I just remember Brent Burns taking basically 18 months to come back from a sports hernia repair, and how even after he was skating forward at nearly full capacity, they moved him to forward because his lateral movement and transitioning were going to be poo poo until he completed a full recovery. Hopefully that's not the direction EK is trending.

Precedent means nothing to them. Instead of asking humans to decide suspension lengths, they might as well just have a random number generator spit out a value between 0 and 10, biased towards the lower numbers.

The player metrics system should have a G-sensor in the helmet, with the suspension length being a function of hit force and angle.

The pawsting business is tough work.
PK probably should cop a game for that hit. It's not going to matter anyway, since whoever makes it out of Dallas/Nashville is going to get eaten alive by St. Louis or Winnipeg.

If they don't get their poo poo together, they're gonna be handing the cup off to someone else. They don't have the Penguins to knock them out in round 2 this year. That's no reason to slack off though.
