Meh...he basically got a game suspension for being kicked out

Plus, let's face it...it was Ryan Johnson he hit, not Toews...it makes a difference

Exactly i thought they might give him one more, but he basically sat out an entire game. I dont think he was head hunting, Johnson kinda ducked into it also. is what it is, someone lineup the cross hairs on him one of the next two times we play him, hit him clean and hard and its over.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even though it shouldn't make a difference.

unfortunately it does...only high profile players

I don't think it's because he hit Johnson.

He could have been suspended, but it was kind of an awkward play and and Johnson wasn't injured. I can see the reasoning behind no suspension and I can see the reasoning for wanting one.

I think no suspension is fine. He sat out most of the game, and it didn't look intentional, which probably played a big factor.

If the league is serious about really trying to eliminate shots to the head, something should have come down. I don't mean anything huge; I agree with others who stated nothing big...but a little something.

Intent doesn't mean everything. If it did, Heatley would have gotten more than 2...even though he kinda missed :lol:
