It was pretty telling when even the guys on TSN were saying it was a text book example of a dirty hit.

Shocked to be honest.

I doubt this hearing occurs if this is a Monday night Calgary vs. Nashville game.

1 game for the hit, 10 games for getting blood all over our ice. Have a little decency.

Perhaps a conference call should be scheduled with the officials asking them why that wasn't a major penalty.

Agreed!


Also I'm glad SOB jumped in and busted Ashton's nose.

Meanwhile, some think this hit is fine.

To me, he should have gotten five for boarding and a match. I hope he gets a few games. Thanks to SOB for breaking his nose and teaching him a lesson.

Decidedly unlikely. Rightly or wrongly, injury matters in the decision. Since Smith is fine, so far as I know, Ashton is looking at either a fine or one game.

True, wasn't really thinking of that.

I do think he should sit a game or two still though.

Not sure how people think that should be 5 + GM. There is no injury. Minor is the right call, am shocked that he has a hearing.

Moon, your trolling is ridiculous.

* He has time to adjust his check
* Hit from behind
* Follows through with check
* Directs him head first into boards

That's what I thought initially, but we did score on the ensuing face-off.
