Only six. Wow.

What did Keith get? All I remember was he had to miss game one against us.

 

Nyquist suspended six games

DOPS explanation and I think it's fair in the fact that it is a first time offense.

I think Keith situation was different because it included playoff games and they weigh those differently.

 

I think it still should've been longer. It's extremely reckless and was clear retaliation. 10 games IMO

And this is coming from a Wings fan

 

the actual numbers it seems. Dude is getting paid and he deserves it.

 

Keith got seven games, only one of which was a playoff game (which I'll readily admit was way low)

 

JR just pooed all over Brendan Smith at intermission.

 

Yeah I mean that suspension seems a tad light seeing as he practically tried to take out Spurgeon's eye

 

so basically he ain't getting traded

wait why am I saying that when it's totally going to happen

 

I feel like he's losing--or has lost--the room or a good portion of it. There's no other explanation for them constantly putting up complete duds, taking long shifts, letting leads evaporate, etc. in the 2nd period night after night.

 

Brent Burns scores

the way Brent Burns can always score is just amazing.

also sharks defense is certified poop right now.

 

Brent Burns is now tied for second in the league for points as a defenseman.

 

The ref pulling of Bellmare's helmet mid fight is hilarious.

 

I feel like in the same respect though they've also come out on fire in a lot of third periods and finished or come back from games they were down

 

man, that was intense

 

Powerful read.

 

10 games for Vermette

 

What he did was dumb, but something must have happened for him to pull that sort of stunt. He's a high character player and the furthest thing from a hot head.

 

I get that it was an official but Vermette getting more games than Nyquist is silly

 

I don't think the NHL has actually even announced his suspension length yet. All we know is it's an automatic 10 game suspension line for injuring ref.

 

Mm this could very well be. My bad, just saw it on Sportsnet

 

Top faceoff guy in the league and the linesman seemingly gave the Wild center the puck before Vermette believed himself to be ready. Just a frustrated over reaction

 

I really like Skjei's game. Still got some warts defensively, but I love his offensive instinct.

 

Crosby gets point 1000

 

this is fire

 

I knew I should have went to that Pens game tonight. Great great game.
