    Regarding the Shea Weber hit, how is this not intent to injure?
    Totally unwarranted cheap shot. Game was over.

      I knew I should have picked the Kings
      Same old Canucks. Kesler could be a really good player, but he insists on being a douche.

        I'm wondering about Weber too. I was watching that live (obviously), and it looked pretty vicious at the time. Especially with the focus on head-hunting, I can't imagine he won't get hit with at least a game.

          He should be out for the series, IMO.
          I'm so sick of that kind of ****.

          Plus you know the game he returns against the Wings, **** will go down.

            And Weber just got a $2,500 fine.

            Bull****.

              No suspension, $2,500 fine. That'll learn him good.

                That's the minimum fine they can even assess.
                I don't know what set Weber off - nothing I could see.

                  Actually, that the maximum fine they can assess under the current CBA.

                    So they can fine someone $1?

                      Can't believe there was no suspension. it was literal head-hunting.

                      Why does the NHL let guys off so easy in the playoffs? It totally sends the wrong message.

                        Dunno. I suppose they could in theory. Though for most NHL players, and especially for someone like Weber, $2,500 might as well be $1.

                          I had myself convinced that Weber would be sitting a game or two for that stupid stunt. I guess all that talking the league did about "player safety" over the last year only applies during the regular season.

                            Sloppy game for Vancouver. Hopefully the loss will wake them up, though.

                            Also, it's hard to see why Weber got a meaningless fine when Bitz was (deservedly) suspended two games for his hit.

                              I am utterly baffled by lack of punishment for Weber.

                              The only thing I can think of is that Shanahan's office wants to avoid questions of favortism towards her former teammates in Detroit, but that seems a stretch.

                                The NHL seems to becoming increasingly like the NBA where there's one set of rules for star players and another for everyone else. My guess is that Weber wasn't suspended because his absense would very likely have a measurable impact on the series, and so the league didn't want to upset the competitive balance. Which of course is hore****, but that's where we seem to be.
