Funny but true.It will probably be a bigger punishment to the Sabres to not suspend Scott.

2 games for the incident
2 games for it being on a national NBCSN broadcast
2 games for the injury to top 6 player
2 games for playing on the same team as pat kaleta
2 games for being 6'8" and injuring someone under 6'6"
total : 10 games
LOL AT THIS
but seriously Im not even gonna comment on the hit...all Im gonna say is if the Lucic/Miller hit never happens and doesnt go unpunished...scott is unemployed right now...you reap what you sow Shanahan...if teams can get away with murder with no repercussion then guys like scott have a purpose in the game...ironically guys like Orr get passes for being useless but scott's a goon? If teams like Toronto can have a useless goon like Orr...we need one ourselves to defend this team otherwise Orr can can have his way...(no offense to Leafs fans just an example)
"does not belong in the NHL".... is there a more overused phrase?

Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren belong though."does not belong in the NHL".... is there a more overused phrase?
Agreed. I was expecting the hit to be much, MUCH worse based on the reaction in our own GBU...Probably closer to 10 games.
I think it's a bit ridiculous. The hit was slightly late, but not really. Hits are that "late" all the time. It was not a blind-side hit, which are much much worse.
The head was hit because of 2 factors:
(1) Height difference, including the fact that Loui was leaning down after the pass
(2) The angle of Loui's body after dumping the puck.
I have no problem with them calling a penalty on it, but I think the hit is being COMPLETELY blown out of proportion because of who it is (a goon).
Almost looks like whiplash vs head contact. Same with a lot of these hits granted they're still dangerous.
I feel like everyone is crying wolf with every hit now.
It was a stupid hit and impossible to defend. Little late, hit the head(because he is taller, but that shouldn't matter). Scott shouldn't even be on a NHL team in the first place. Suspending him only helps the Sabres, now hopfully we fire Regier and Rolston and move on but I doubt it.
At worst, I could call it a careless hit. Not reckless or intent to injure though. I just don't see it based on how he hit and his history (outside of fights).
That's like 15 agendas in 16 words.
