Nyquist suspended six games for high stick (Post 139)

Tough call for the NHL. The slow mo replay offered enough strange physics to make the idea of it being an accident plausible, whatever that's worth. Would've been fine with it being 20+ though.

From the Red Wings perspective... Nyquist did a great job plummeting his trade stock, but if you can get anything for him you have to move him. His no trade clause kicks in next year at a hefty 4.75 mil.

This event is just the icing on the cake of Nyquists season long example of how in over his head he is. He's a net negative for the team, and it's absolutely an urgent need to find a way to not be stuck with him and his fake leadership and token hustle until 2019.

To my knowledge, Kronwall's left knee is the one previously surgically repaired and giving him problems while Marchand clipped his right leg... if Marchand was a WWE heel, he clearly targeted the wrong leg

And yeah, the one time first time "accident" was far worse IMO. Pretty sure a spear to the face could do just as much, if not more, permanent damage- think Hossa/Berard only with intent

one way or the other the knee gets it. He either hits the knee or hits the other knee causing the injuries knee to bear his full weight suddenly and unexpectedly.
