I am talking abou if they are faking it or not. Not to let the NHL decide when the player returns. Just to make sure the team is not faking an injury to get a lengthier suspenion handed out to the other player involved in the incident. Thats what I mean.

But why do they even base if off the severity of the injury? Isn't that backwards?

Because EVERYTHING in the NHL rule book is subjective.

I think hockey should consider another league for representation.

They are discussing how bad they are going to look after suspending Duncan more games than Doan, a repeat offender.
It's pretty comical actually. Will Sedin get a game for his shoulder to head? Obviously they let Burrows slide for both the kneeing and Pulling hair.
And come to think of "hit" Burrows punched Kane right in the HEAD and was given a RGH penalty. I believe, that's a HIT TO THE HEAD as well. Oh well, Kane didnt fall down and cry to the GM/Coach.

Sounds like Montador is almost ready to return if Keith has lengthy suspension, so maybe no or minimal OD.

Best comment I saw was on ESPN:
"Umm, Toews has not played for 19-20 games right? He was the victim of repeated head-hunting hits in the San Jose game, when he first sustained a concussion that really developed several games down the road. Cross checks to the head. Punches to the head. Head being rammed into the boards - watch the replay of the SJ game and it is quite clear that there was intent to injure Toews. Period. Not one SJ player was suspended for their actions. It has been said here, but Rafi Torres got ZERO games and ZERO fine for taking a 50 foot b-line at full speed, launching himself like a human missile, and targeting Seabrook's head with his shoulder. He could have killed him. Keith threw an elbow, has never been suspended before, but has been victimized plenty by headshots like golden boy sedin planted on him minutes before the elbow. Because of the media pressure, and court of public opinion, Shanahan's hand is being forced and I suspect the double standard will be alive and well when he hands down the suspension. Sickening."
Vancouver gets what they want when they whine and cry. Gotta please the kids, eh NHL?

Gotta love the politics on this one...
My relaistic side is hoping Monty is doing well.
My frosty side is hoping that the deliberations are the NHL bigwigs preemptively blocking their numbers from Gillis.

Duncan Keith went through with his scheduled conference call with the department of player safety at 1 PM CT. After a lengthy four hours, the league finally released the details on Keith's suspension.
Chris Kuc reports that Keith received five games for his hit on Daniel Sedin. Here is an explanation of the suspension from Brendan Shanahan.
No suspension of Alexander Burrows' retaliation or Daniel Sedin's hit prior to Keith's retaliation. Another thought, in Shanahan's video explaining the suspension, Andrew Shaw is hit in a dangerous position along the boards. A classic example of hits that Shanahan has cracked down on in the past.

Of course, nothing for Sedin/Burrhole

I can be okay with that......... certainly not as bad as some of the specualtors out there. But I am pissed that there is no mention of anything against the Canucks.
