Doing Nothing
He looked okay. He wasn't pushing it (i.e. skating hard or with the others) but skated for over half an hour, maybe longer. If he was having serious headaches, dizziness, or other problems he wouldn't have been on the ice at all or for longer than a few minutes. Guessing he's banged up and sore today but last one on the ice was a good sign. If he felt fine, next step would be pushing harder on the ice, more evaluations, etc.

Thats a pretty hefty penalty and deserved in my opinion. We may have to stop pretending Shanhan hates us though.

I looked at the play as Perry trying to finish a check. It was a second late, and deserves a suspension but I think 2 games would be more fair. I don't think there was any intent on Perry's part.

I think it doesn't matter how late it was. It was a hit to the head and the main part about it was how dangerous was. Who cares if it was a second late or 5 seconds late? If the NHL wants to do something about hits to the head and player safety this suspension makes perfect sense. How can you teach anything to someone or others by only suspending them for a game or two?
probably got two for lying. said he tried to let up, which he obviously didn't.

Does there really need to be intent? I think the point of these rules is to make players aware of what they are doing at all times. Maybe next time Perry doesn't line a guy up for a blindsided hit because its not worth it. Careers can be ended without any malicious intent.

Opinions like that are what I don't understand. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with hockey (started being a fan in about 2004ish, became a HUGE fan about 4-5 years ago) but I cannot comprehend how a hit can be blamed on the person receiving it. I've heard the term admiring a pass and things like that but when it comes down to the actual hit isn't it always going to be the fault of the hitter in terms of where he hits the hittee?
All I'm trying to say is that this could have been avoided and Perry's hit was an extremely dangerous play. I can't see how any of the blame can be put on Zucker.

Thank you, sweet rabbit
I expected 2 games. Interesting that he got 4.
Perry was looking for Zucker since they ran into each other and Zucker knocked Perry's stick loose. You can see Perry focusing on hitting Zucker immediately after their initial collision. IMO, he wasn't finishing his check, he was trying to retaliate on Zucker for an incidental collision.

If the league wants to minimize concussions and injuries, this suspension makes perfect sense. I agree, a 1 game suspension isn't gonna cut it, no matter what it is. Nobody learns from that. Statistically it seems like Raffi Torres learned his lesson after the hit on Hossa. How long was the suspension, 20+ games? Imho, 4 games should be the bare MINIMUM amount of time for a check this severe.
Actually pretty surprised that he got that much. Was expecting one to two game, but I'm happy that goon got more. He could've hit Zucker in the shoulder/side of his body with a normal body check, but instead he went for the head.

Really?
Rob Blake actually handled this one.... One of the first he's been involved in as far as I know, unless someone knows of others?
Anyone think it would have been only 2 if it wasn't for the fact that Perry got in trouble before?
You are correct sir thats why it should be 4 or more he hunted Zucker down! Let up my arse

Has it been confirmed that Zucker has a concussion? If so hopefully he heals quickly. But also don't want him to rush it.
I missed the beginning of the game but this is totally believable to me. Perry is a D-Bag. Awhile ago I showed up early for warmups at the X when the Ducks were in town. While taking pictures from behind the Ducks net, Perry noticed me with the camera and started firing pucks off the glass right where my head was. Was not expecting that...

eh...that's more funny than d-baggy.
but he does have a rep around the league, and it isn't for nothing.
Walz' had a good point in his tweets...Perry being suspended probably hurts the Wild. would have helped us if he was there and the Ducks won all the rest of their games.
