I really think the suspension was just to placate the Habs and try to keep.this.series from getting ugly.  Lucky Gryba's a scrub.  If Phillips did that, no suspension.

Shanny said there was no malicious intent, but it was reckless. Subban left his feet when he hit Neil.  Too bad Neiler didn't.smash his face on the ice when he went down.  Subban would have gotten 5-6 games for it. EDIT: Ew, I just called him Neiler.  I'm the worst kind of fan.  Next I'm...

Joke's on them, Wiercioch's better anyway.

So can we lay to rest the idea of an anti Montreal bias from the league?  Way to placate the Habs, NHL. If players are getting suspended based on the result and not the intent or hit itself, can we appeal the decision on Cooke?

I wouldn't count on it, think I read second round at the earliest.  He recently started skating, but MacLean said he's nowhere near close yet.

I really really really really don't want to be eliminated by the Habs... Canadian fans are insufferable enough as it is.

Karlsson assists on the opening goal. EDIT: And another one on the OT gamewinner to send the Sens to the playoffs.

If he goes down clutching his leg tonight, you'll be able to hear my heart breaking from Toronto.

I kinda wish it was a player from the Islanders or the Rangers, a team with something to gain from Karlsson not returning.  That would be fun.

Hrm, it seems Travis Zajac got ahold of Karlsson through a teammate and told him not to come back.  That he had an achilles injury recently that he came back too early from and it cost him another 2 months. Karlsson has been cleared to play by the doctors, and he had a clean slice, rather than...

In other news, Alfie is supposed to join twitter soon.  Not thrilled about that. What if he says something stupid?  Like how black people are responsible for crime, or how much he likes the new Lady GaGa track?

Karlsson took part in a full practice today, paired with Methot, then stayed late to work with our skating coach. Travelling to Washington, Maclean says he'll play when Karlsson says he's ready.  Mackenzie says he "wouldn't be surprised" if he plays tomorrow.

Thank you Capitals.  Sens may slide ass-first into the playoffs after all.

*cough*

Sens vs. Pens in the first round of the AHL playoffs.  Very real possibility of Sens vs Pens in the first round of the NHL playoffs too. Wonder how often something like that happens.

This is no fun at all.

Melnyk says he's not commenting on Cooke until all the data has been compiled. I figured at some point he'd say something like: "there's no investigation, I was just upset when I made that comment."  Now, I can't wait to see what kind of lunacy he comes up with.

Anderson and Michalek back.  Cowen and Karlsson making miraculous recoveries. Spezza still not skating.

Figures.  Take something cool and run it into the ground. Remember the excitement you used to get when a ref signalled for a penalty shot?

Jared Cowen was told he had to wait 6-8 months to recover, and that there was a 0% chance he plays a game this season.  He returned in 5 months, and in his first period back, he destroyed Jeff Skinner, bloodied an opponent in a fight, and earned his team a PP for an instigator penalty. ...
