What, and get fined for advancing past our station?

NBC officials would attack if they got stuck with a Vancouver/San Jose conference final where every televised game is on at 9am local time.

That would be the series NBC "allows" CBC to get the run of the schedule while they get to shine up their boners over whatever the EC final was.

And now a nasty hit by Steve Downie on Crosby in today's TB-PIT game. No penalty was called on the play (Downie received 2 for roughing on the play afterward). While Crosby did return later, this could have been potentially bad for Sid's knee.

While most of us moved our clocks forward one hour last night, the San Jose Sharks went ahead and changed the calender ahead one month and are down 3-0 to the Ducks after 1.

Yay efficiency!

Something that's been on my mind since the Olympics - Crosby has a serious case of "Steven Tyler Lips". It's terrifying. :eek: ;)

The picture that currently headlines NHL.com reminded me.

Oh. Since it's Ovechkin's 3rd game misconduct this year, he gets an automatic one game suspension.

Not according to Puck Daddy.

Rule 23.5 of the NHL rulebook states: "Any player or goalkeeper who incurs a total of two (2) game misconduct penalties for stick-related infractions, Boarding - Rule 42, or Checking from Behind - Rule 44, shall be suspended automatically for the next league game of his team."

Ah, but what about the fine print? Puck Daddy's Sean Leahy points to this passage further down in the Rule 23.5 statute:

When a player or goalkeeper has played in 41 consecutive regular League games without being assessed a boarding and/or a checking from behind major and a game misconduct according to Rules 42 and 44, he will have the previous game misconduct penalties removed from his current record. They will remain part of his historical record.

Sunday's game just happened to be Ovechkin's 42nd game since his hit on Patrick Kaleta of the Sabres.

Brian Campbell is out for the year with a concussion, broken collarbone and some broken ribs.

And Ovechkin clearly pushed him in the back. It must be real hard for these players not to push players in the back cause I see it every game I watch at the college and NHL levels.

Ovechkin deserves at least 3 games for this. We'll see if the NHL has any balls.

Chicago will be trying to convince him to retire so they can get under the 2010-11 salary cap.

I enjoy the fact that this thread has morphed from people discussing the playoff race to the discussion of the latest dirty hit the NHL is not going to punish.

Now that the NHL has decided that hitting people in the head and ending their season is okay, they should just allow Matt Cooke to play with a loaded gun - just like the guy in the opening scene of "The Last Boy Scout".

We can make every game just like "The Running Man" - hell, let's reanimate Richard Dawson to make it totally worthwhile.
