Has a discipline hearing with Shanahan for the collision with Smith.

re-fucking-diculous


Shea Weber pays pennies for deliberately crushing someone's head into the boards, but shaw may be suspended for accidental (and not as vicious) contact.....stupid

Yes, well knowing what type of a guy Shanahan is (meaning not particularly consistent), as a forward- I don't know -- Shaw probably should have probably not gone there. Nothing good was going to happen with that particular play.

Mind you, if it was any other position other than goalie - yeah sure go for it.

Mind you all I am saying is -never trust a goalie; those guys are different.

I am sure Shaw is going to get multiple games for this, and might be done for the postseason which is ridiculous compared to what other bigger names have (not) gotten so far. Again the incosnsistency of discipline and the enforcement of player safety is laughable in this league.

I agree...so much so that its an embarrassment. Weber gets off with a fine for repeatedly smashing a players head into the glass with his HANDS...not via a check. Now they're looking at the Shaw thing like he commited a murder when in actuality, if he wanted to injure Smith...he certainly could have but tried to slide between him and the boards. But of course, Shanahan will just flip a coin to decide.

He got the game misconduct. Had Smith actually have been hurt, then maybe Shanahan takes this further. Shaw will get a scolding.

Lucic didn't exactly try to scoot away from Miller and received no supplemental discipline, right?

That assumes some consistency and internal logic from the NHL. I am not convinced that will be used in the case of Shaw.

Come on guys. I like Shaw but he was full speed shoulder into Smith's head. He should sit another game or two. Weber should have to sit also I agree with you on that. But Shaw is not innocent here. Smith may have embellished a bit but Shaw diffidently fucked Smith up. If he sits the whole postseason thats overkill one or two games.

Shaw was leaning toward the boards, away from Smith, in an attempt to not hit him. There was no raising of a shoulder or throwing of an elbow in any manner. Shaw could've very easily "fucked Smith up." He chose not to.

A major and a game misconduct was punishment enough.

But player spinning madly to the ice, throwing his gloves, and flopping around for 10 minutes = five and a game.

I mean look...Shaw deserved 2 minutes. Incidental contact or not, that is goaltender interference and just about everyone should be fine with that and understand it.

I realize it is a fast game and the refs have to call what they see (or think they see) but I just can't understand how a 5 minute penalty can ever be called in a situation like that.

If a goalie doesn't want to get hit, he should just stay in the crease.
