Meh...Carbomb is a repeat Knucklehead...and with the "in-person" review (that he waived) with DPS...6 was gonna be the minimum...this just means that Teriveinen is not gonna be scratched in the next six games, and neither is Nordstrom.
As far as the Crosscheck goes...it was unnecessary, but, I've seen worse, as others here have pointed out...some of the mass murder in the low slot, with no calls, is every bit as brutal...
In this case, though, it was after the whistle, and a cheap shot (but not to the head)...And I think it is truly hard to say that a hard cross check to the upper arm, or shoulder, is clearly an "intent to injure"...I've seen D-men break their sticks with similar cross checks...
so 6 games for our end of the bench forward, who will be a scratch most of the time when he returns, as he would be a high risk for calls, due to heavy scrutiny from the officials.
I wasn't happy that we signed this clown, but, am surprised that he made to the season's half way point before doing something this stupid...and I am glad that Perrault wasn't as badly injured as first reported (was initially reported as a broken bone, now appears to be a deep bone bruise)
