1-game suspension? At most...

I’ll concede the fact that the hit didn’t LOOK that bad, because White was already pressed up against the glass when he got kablammoed, but it still was a pretty hard hit from behind into the boards. Luckily it didn’t really cost SJ, or else they’d be up in arms right now.

Lou's posts came up big, too. Didn't the Hawks hit something like 5 posts?

To paraphrase the great Barraso - You want him to stop the ones going wide too?

I think If the NHL is serious about the hits to the head and concussion potential, then I think they need to throw 2 games at Stoll. If they are only semi-serious, but want to look like they are really serious, it'll be 1 game. If they care more about the on-ice product of playoff hockey, it'll be a fine.

That's a great quote, I think about that all the time when posts are hit.
