That says a nagging injury, but some people were citing Keith's hack at him.

Is there video somewhere of the sequence with Keith? I must have missed it.

He'd probably play if we had something on the line. Wise to give him a game off to recover, no sense on him playing hurt.

due to the size of the above photo i'm guessing we're looking at "the big picture" here?

I'd still like Johnny to get to the PPG plateau.

Would be nice.

Considering how many times he gets whacked in the hand every game, Im guessing he's out waiting for his fingers to grow back.

Had to be that Keith slash to the ribs. It almost looked like a spear, he was jabbing him the ribs with the end of the stick. Not even a penalty on the play . Would be interesting to see Shinkaruk get a ton of ice if he's out anyway.

How to defend against skilled players that you can't hit cleanly
- Hack at their ankles (Forsberg)
- Hack at their wrists (Gaudreau)
- Goon them in the head (Crosby)
- Hit them in the back (Gretzky)
- Hit them when they're not looking (Lindros)
- Etc, etc.

This pisses me off about the NHL more than anything else. They're finally going after headshots (though not nearly tough enough), but they still haven't done anything about the chintzy lower-back cross-checks in front of the net, or the extra-chintzy little hacks and slashes to the wrists and ankles. These things add up over the course of a season and can lead to career-shortening problems.

I don't get it. People buy tickets to see guys like Crosby and Gaudreau, not Prust or Cooke. Wtf is the NHL doing? The game is the NHL's product. If I sold cars for a living and I had a bunch of cars that everyone wanted to see and buy, but I had a few other cars with 6' spikes sticking out of their sides that mangled all my other cars every time someone drove it around the lot... how long do you think it would take me to collect every last one of those #######s and plant them in the bottom of the ocean?

This is a gross over exaggeration. These slashes and cross checks that you are describing as career threatening have been happening for 20 plus years and I have yet to see any major effects from them.

They are more annoying than damaging, hence why the correct call remains a 2 minute minor.

Yea but there is a difference between a 2 minute stick infraction and intent to injure which is what Keith did to Johnny... That was a nasty hack with the most dangerous part of the stick. Suspension might be pushing it but plays like that should be noted and if there is a pattern then maybe it leads to a suspension.

Keith is the new Pronger. Cant stand that guy. He's the reason Jeff Carter has no front teeth and he only got a game for it. Between him and the date rapist I dont know how anybody can root for that team.

Fair enough. I didn't see the Keith play, so I can't comment on that.
