1-2 games fo the Backstrom hit. Anyone that thinks his hit on Granlund should be a suspension should stop watching hockey.
Craig Button thinks 4 games, 2 for each incident

I agree strongly with your last point. Kadri has been rocked quite a few times, some of them dubious as well.
At some point, you start to wonder (this has been said so many many times) when does the player who gets hit with his head down bear some of the responsibility. It's true his head bounced off the glass, but, that is only because Kadri hit him in the shoulder and he was standing beside the boards. If he's at centre ice his head doesn't hit the glass and he doesn't get his bell rung. I didn't see charging, didn't see Kadri jump up, didn't see him go for the head, didn't see his elbows come up, just saw a player finish a check!
AND he also got the easy way out. Kicked out of the whole game after a clean hockey check on soft and tender Granlund.Kadri doesn't have any priors so maybe he goes easy on him.
It's hockey not ringette. He shouldn't get anything.
I'll be at the game Friday. Might as well try out.
confirmed match penalty has been revoked, and the hearing at 1pm is for Backstrom contact. (don't call it a hit Backstrom it was basically both guys running into each other.

These wild fans started watching hockey this year I think cause they are quick to point to the leafs being goons and playing a boring style, yet they forget that lemaire lived or died with his defensive style.
