What? How hurt do you have to be? Out cold? He was on his knees, clearly injured...Pure speculation but I’m guessing the call was changed because he didn’t look to be hurt bad enough for a major.

Are you talking Borg style or cosmetics...Any update on Carlo?
I agree I didn't see any intent there either.
Speaking of which, Jack Edwards sounded like a complete you-know-what last night, went on and on over the elbow. Like give it a rest Jack. I've always tolerated Edwards, but he's been on a different level of annoying this year.
Completely disagree that there was any intent behind it. He was trying to toe drag the puck which pushed his elbow back - if you stand up right now and try the same motion, there is no way you can do it where he was on the ice without getting your elbow back. It's a frustrating play and should've been 4 minutes IMO regardless of intent, but I would be surprised if there was any incoming discipline.
Agreed he should, and he got a penalty for it, just like you would for an intentional high stick - you would never get a suspension for an intentional high stick just because the guy is injured.
*runs around the forum high fiving everyone and then runs into the Florida locker room and breaks all of Dadonov's sticks over his head whoopsie didn't see you there my bad ha ha ha we won*

Second time, so it seems that Carlo has to be more careful around Russians.
Yeah sorry, early morning mistakesAn intentional high stick? You would.
Did you mean unintentional?
Giving two minutes for that elbow literally is against the rules the officials allegedly know.
anyone thats played the game knows he intentionally elbowed carlo. it was a cheeky move.
RIP Pocket RocketOT but Henri Richard passed this morning at 84.

Yes that is right, certain teams get favouritism.Just like the EBUG situation was fine until it embarrassed the Leafs...now it isn't good enough.
Read yesterday that Shanahan said the leafs are building an elite team.
played hockey many years, can`t ever recall me going into the corner, one of one with a D man and my elbow pulling a Costanza-like twitch to the point that it connected with the player attacking from behind
Sneaky dirty, plain and simple
For sure if that was Marchand or Chara that hit say Ekblad , they would have been tossed from the game, TSN, CBC and Sportsnet in Canada here would have played it a 1000 times and all we would hear about is how dirty the Bruins are, because they are upset their darling Leafs and habs suck big time against us.If you hit someone with your car and injure them the law is that you are supposed to have full control of your vehicle. Intent isn't really as big an issue as the result. He did look over his shoulder, he did knock Carlo out of the game and maybe even more. He should've gotten his ass kicked asap after. That didn't happen and if he isn't suspended it sets a precedent and proves that the NHL is full of shit in regards to protecting players from head-shots. If it were a Bruin who commited that foul he'd be suspended, no two ways about it. Double standards are a poor way to govern and IMO Jacobs should get involved as this seems to be a continuing trend.
Different situation, I don't care what anyone says Dadonov knew what he was doing.This isn't driving a car, intent does matter - for example, should the player that cut Boychuk's eyelid be suspended or penalized for not being in control of his skate?
They may do something simply because it favours the Leafs for the Panthers to lose Dadonov for a couple games.DOPS won't do a thing with Dadanov. If they deemed the hit on Rask against Columbus as accidental, they will use that same flawed logic here. It is bullshit. Kane is right, the league needs a 3 man panel of outside people to decide what warrants a suspension, not one man who has biased opinions.
