The media trying to get this guy suspended is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen.

I don't think anyone disagrees with you

count me out of that group.
Anderson looks way too much like Florida Jimmy Hayes out there...and Boston Jimmy Hayes in the playoffs 1-2-3 in 10 with a -5
Well I only get the nbc telecasts on weekends so I was stuck watching cbc. On cbc it was 5/0 he will get suspended . Was there anyone on nbc who said he wouldn't . I don't care for most these guys but they aren't all bias . just for the record they were also 6/0 that the Mathews goal against Boston should've been disallowed . I find it hard to believe they will all be wrong . Can anyone give me anyone on either broadcast that says no suspension.
Me personally I don't see any intent and some body contact but when I see suspensions like doughty I kind of expect one .

Canadian media more upset about the hit (or pretending to be) than the actual guy who got hit.

Kid's an absolute stud and just turned 21 - there really is no ceiling to what he could become.

Damn. He didn’t have a good playoffs but that’s crazy. He’s a hell of a player
McAvoy should get a game suspension. Shoulder hit to the head. Upward motion. And he jumped into the hit, both his skates were off the ice for a moment. Being objective here, since I hated Anderson this series.
The mitigating circumstances IMO are that McAvoy isn’t a repeat offender. Don’t think he was going for his head. Anderson was fine after the hit. And this is the playoffs where hits like the elbow to Backes chin didn’t require further discipline.
Cross my fingers and hope he’ll get a stern talking to.

Did Dean Kukan get a hearing for the elbow to Backes' face? Didn't think so . . .

First time "offender", Anderson not injured in the slightest, elbow tucked, got probably 80% chest.
Amazing, but nothing on Kukan smashing his elbow in to Backes' jaw.
What annoys me most is that most head hits that get suspended are because the player who gets hit doesn't materially change the position of his head at any point. Anderson completely changes his head position by lowering it a lot and looking at the ice.

Completely media driven. He didn't launch himself but he did "move his body in an upward trajectory" so that's probably while they'll give him a game... joke that Kukan didn't get anything though.

Guys come on. He got him straight in the jaw. Left the ice. I don't think he intended to hit him there but he did. If that was on any of our players we would be pissed. Gotta cut this shit out of league - we don't need any more walking vegetables.
Fortunately Charlie isn't a repeat offender, Anderson is fine and it didn't seem intentional. It'll probably just be one game. But he deserves a game. NHL Player Safety's questionable decisions in the past don't excuse him.

Was hoping there would be no hearing since he only got two. Will get a game like Thornton did I guess. I'm just thankful he didn't get 5 minutes last night, it could have turned that whole series around.

I don't think they fine in the playoffs, because the players aren't getting paid...

it's all about intent. the head shot was accidental, altering a playoff series for an accidental hit? Im glad we are facing Carolina bc there won't be as much lobbying by the suspension happy pundits
Edit really had nothing to do with the decision. He did make contact with the head, one game the norm, move on, no big deal. Game is fast, shit happens, they will be fine.

pretty good chance he gets a game IMO. And I get it.
I’m trying to look at all of these plays objectively. People always come up with examples from the past that they think favor their situation to justify more or less games. Looking at this on its own, it seems justified that he gets a game.
I really don’t like it, but the awesome truth is...we have the defensive depth to survive it for a game.
