Max is $10k or a % of salary. Sigh.



My problem with this is this call to not suspend is that if you look at Draisitl's eyes, he is aiming for the groin. This was in no way accidental; it was calculated. Jumbo sometimes jostles with guys and spears them, however i dont see those as purposeful, targeted spears.

Kinda ******. Maybe Dillon should take him out back

Yeah, Jumbo is a spear machine. Wish he'd stop but that's Joe.


Y'all are missing my original point. He spears when pushing with a guy, not after the puck is gone, eyes locked on the target like Draisaitl did.

That's a huge difference in my book

Thornton definitely did it a few times out of nowhere. Regardless, a spear is a spear in my book. Shouldn't happen regardless of the situation.

Jumbo spears when he gets hacked or cross-checked because he's a pissed off curmudgeonly old man who's had it with these whippersnappers taking liberties on his old bones

Draisaitl threw a spear because he was mad he was losing

Both are gross and dirty plays, but only one of them was being a baby about it

Edit: I've never seen Thornton throw an unsolicited spear to the most tender of regions, but if he ever did it was similarly baby ********

I think you're looking at game 5, game 6 says TBD on every nhl.com page I see. It even says TBD on the ticket page.

I think it all comes down to if Chicago gets eliminated by then or not. We'll probably end up being the noon-ish NBC national game.

lol. There's zero chance NBC puts the Edmonton Oilers on the flagship when they'll have Rangers-Habs and Wild-Blues to choose from even if the Blackhawks get swept.
