The NHL Thread

Lots of important games going on right now. Part of me hopes that the Wings lose and Nashville wins so we get the 6 seed...I'd much rather play Phoenix than Nashville right now.

Gahhhh I am so mad. We were so close to losing that game!!

PS: Did anyone see the 3rd goal BC scored tonight on their way to another national championship? It was pretty.

2012 Stanley Cup playoffs -- NHL fines Shea Weber for blow to Henrik Zetterberg's head - ESPN


I'm losing faith in the NHL. What Weber did was disgusting and intentional. That type of play does not belong in the league and, being a captain, Weber should know better than anyone.

I was shocked Weber didn't get suspended. He should have gotten at least 2 games.

Oh, and then there's this.

Wow. That is so upsetting. Weber should definitely have been suspended and I definitely agree with the second article you posted molds, that just because a player wasn't hurt doesn't make the intentional violence any less disgusting and wrong.

And now we have him mocking the move which I'm sure will help to bring on some retaliation hits which could easily spiral out of control. Bad move, NHL.
