Ugh someone actually thinks Bieksa should make team Canada? As someone who watches team Canada, I would hate for that to happen.
Ugh, it's Ron Maclean...

But, in the end, the fact he is right back to the next practice and playing the next game shows that he was not significantly hurt and that his lying prone on the ice like he was completely knocked cold was a acting job.
The guy was milking it-I thought so at the time-his interview the next day convinced me.It was embellishment(sp) at it's finest.I do not blame the Blackhawk org for wanting to take precautions-they did what was in their best interests given his history-but I have no doubt that Hossa is a diver & may want to take up acting when he leaves hockey.Disagree. It shows no such thing.
Disagree. It shows no such thing.

Let's be fair, if it was Daniel who got hit by say, Stalberg, the HF Boards would be on full anti-Canuck mode and we'd be hearing it from Milbury about how the team is just a bunch of cheapshotting divers.
It was a slightly reckless play by Hansen and he got a minimal suspension. That's all there is to it. The constant whining and conspiracy theory pushers are just embarrassing as a fellow Canucks fan.
I'm sure Hossa took himself out as a precaution, and he passed all of the tests so he was back on the ice the next day.

He also got labelled as a known offender, which will factor into any future suspensions. That bothers me more than the game he missed yesterday.
It wasn't his call after he went down like he was shot the trainers said NOA player that smart doesn't take himself out of the game for a no-name like Hansen.

Or perhaps he didn't know whether Hossa was faking it or not and had to assume the worst (which I can't fault the trainer for) given the seriousness of a concussion injury. Many players likely will say they're able to play (whether they should or not).Right.
Because the trainer is going to say to himself, "Self, here's a perfect opportunity to get a fringe player out of the game, all I have to do is tell my superstar to play dead and then take the rest of the game off."
But why is that unfair? Because he's a Canuck? Do you not think the relative minority of the incident will be considered if he puts himself in this situation again?
It's all just a whole lot of nothing.
Isn't there a statute of limitations on that? 18 months and then the slate is wiped clean?

I know he was scoring, but I'm actually pretty surprised by that number.5 goals in his last 8 games...
If you only look at the scoresheet that would make him look like an all-star. Unfortunately we watch him throw passes to his partners skates, blow assignments, and generally make a mess of the defensive zone all the time.
