That Spurgeon goal was just so pretty. What a feed by Mikko.

This gets me all hot and bothered. Hockey porn.

Not really "the book" if it ends up only being 6 games.

It's "The book" by NHL standards, considering Keith got 1 game for his ridiculous stick-to-the-face of Jeff Carter.

That would be 1 playoff game.

I just can't see the NHL keeping Keith out much more than that. Because that's the way the world works.

7 games is my guess. Rest of the season (emphasis on rest, lol) and their first 2 home playoff games.

You think they're going to catch one of Dallas/St. Louis?

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Road playoff games, right?

 

[Generic User]

Whoops, yep, meant road.

Not entirely. They need to set some type of standard. If I had to guess, I would say he gets 20 games and then they dispute it and arbitration will say 10. Just enough he would miss 85% of Round 1.

It's on the front page of CNN.com under the News and Buzz thing lol

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

I think it will be 10 games.

 

[Engebretson]

I'll say 6 games, but it should be 8-10.

 

[DANOZ28]

i dont believe suspension will go into playoffs.

 

[TaLoN]

I think it will be 10 games.

10 should be the absolute MINIMUM. Though I'll be surprised if it's more than 6.

i dont believe suspension will go into playoffs.

In person hearing means 6 or more...the Hawks have 5 games left in the regular season, meaning minimum of 1 playoff game.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

I just got to watch the game. Keith is a piece of ****. Seriously the ****ing guy needs 10+ games. The guy has done this **** over and over. It's clear as day he intended to hit Coyle in the face with his stick. Such a coward move, seriously **** him.

 

[ace4]

Be prepared for a paltry suspension. Keith elbowed Daniel Sedin in the head before the playoffs a few years ago and only got suspended for the last five regular season games. Sedin missed the playoffs and Keith got a nice long rest for the real season. Seems to me like its time the NHL takes a way a substantial amount of playoff games from Keith.

 

[00xtremeninja]

maybe instead of suspending Keith, they just make him drink nothing but Malort for four days, he will be knocked out from the taste of it alone and once he is able to move, then he can come back.

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Wow... what a difference between feeds. The Chicago homers barely mentioned the fact that Keith rearranged Charlie's face. I honestly had NO idea it was that bad, since they didn't bother to show any close ups of Coyle AT ALL. Just complaining at first, and then Olcyzk (I think) kind of sheepishly admitting "Yeah, I guess the refs are onto something..." and leaving it at that.
