Sorry State
Time to take hitting out of the game I guess. Suicide pass, head down, tall defender, no intent and never left his feet. The original penalty should be more than enough but I'm sure Burke and Hartley probably put in a call. If Aulie gets any more that 1 game ( and even that is excessive) it will be a travesty.

Should be interesting.
Will set the precedent for future 5 minute Keith Aulie majors.

Its not *safe* to throw a solid open ice hit in the NHL circa 2014 because some clown like Stajan will lay on the ice like he's dead until the infraction is called and some clownshow org that plays dirty hockey most of the time will send it in for review and speed dial the NHL complaining about it.
Yeah this stinks on so many levels. The oilers, team pacifist, the least physical team in the league, get suspensions anytime theres a physical play. Other teams like the Flyers can do this every game of the season.

The League is in a tough place here. Trying to cut down on head shots in this game is no easy task.
Aulies hit was more bad luck than anything. It was a head shot but it wasn't Aulies fault. Stajan is a smaller player and he was crouched down at impact. It also looked like Stajan was going to have possession of that suicide pass as well so although it appeared to be a late hit it really wasnt based on how the play was unfolding.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Stajan ended up with a concussion from the hit and he should be blaming the teamate that passed him the puck. Brutal pass.
I have no issue with what Aulie did on that play and I hope he continues to play that way. This team needs that kind of presence.

I was thinking minimum 2 games until I saw the sports net breakdown.
Looked like a legal check, they showed the moment of contact, shoulder to upper chest/shoulder, and how low Stajan was and even showed Aulie also bent down.
If he gets suspended I will be unsurprised but unhappy.

Times are so different in the BOA these days.
I saw your Flames type username commenting in the thread and immediately thought troll when I clicked thread. Woulda been the case everytime 5 or more years back.
Now its so much more civil.
sorry, just observing.

So basically Aulie gets 3 games for a clean hit on an opposing player who put himself in a dangerous spot

Who proceeds to act like he's dead in the same game that the Oilers get an embellishment penalty.
Its like watching Stampede Wrestling officiating.

double your pleasure double your fun
IF that is now a 5 minute penalty
99% of the hits in the NHL are illigal
