Some cavemen still think that if you hit, you have to fight.

Hall will pay the price though.

A phone hearing means a maximum 5 game suspension, but I don't think anyone thought he'd get more than that anyway.

Shortened season, 1st timer, equals 2.6 games then round up.

Shanahan has specifically said that the shortened season will not be considered in discipline.

Which is exactly why it will. He says lots of things. I think the biggest problem is it is a tough job and Shanny isn't smart enough to handle it.

He views playoff games as more important and he'll do the same (but not consistently) in this season.

The still frame in this one shows that it definitely was not a hip check, knee on knee is clearly the first point of contact.

Knee on knee is the dirtiest hit in hockey. Throw the book at him

Three games and a lip reduction.

Apparently it's 2 games for Hallz

Its about where I thought he was going to be. I thought three myself but yeah. I'm happy its more than one game.

Besides, he removed Clutterbuck for us tomorrow. All the crap aside from being a dirty hit which I think it was, a Clutterbuck-less Wild team is a team I think we have a better chance at beating.
