Jannik Hansen faces NHL discipline

Expect Sedin as the expert witness to talk of the danger of head blows...

Well, since Shanahan has no clue what he's doing, he'll get off with time served...2 minutes in the sin bin!

Incidental contact? He elbowed Hossa in the back of the head and his stick was in the other hand. Deliberate attempt to injure would be my call and he should get at least 20 games or as long as Hossa is out, whichever is more. Nobody pays high prices to watch goons. NHL should contract some teams (Florida, Columbus, Phoenix...) so the talent level isn't so watered down.

20 games...

The NBA had Jordan rules, now the NHL will have Hossa rules.

There are apparently a few people who thought it was "incidental," and not intentional. I am not saying I am one of them. The suspense will kill me (sarcasm). All will be known after 3:30 p.m.

Oh heck - just shoot him and be done with it.

But who pays for the ammo?

I will kick in the $5 (Vegas Vacation reference)

**** the dirty Canucks

If Shanahan has any balls and the NHL is serious about eliminating this kind of stuff, they'll throw the book at him and give him the Raffi Torres code. At least 6 games.

Upon further review, it was deliberate.

And on a totally unrelated note, the Sabres fired Lindy Ruff

I hope Shanahan give Jannik Hansen the triple "S" sentence: Swift, sure and stiff.

In that case me might want to bring a female lawyer.

The local pre-game show on Buffalo NBC had an interview with Darcy Regier saying Ruff was so safe and so secure and wasn't going anywhere.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our first coaching casualty of this lockout-shortened NHL season!
