What about Oshie on Guhle? Everyone in Anaheim saying he was being targeted all night.
I don't feel like Hathway owned it as well as you guys are making out.
"Unfortunately, spit came out of my mouth after I got sucker punched, and it went onto him.”
This is classic use of the passive voice.
Garnet Hathaway said:“I regret doing it,” he added. “That’s the most I can say. My emotions, I was pretty tied up, and I felt like there was a third man and a fourth man in, and I didn’t have any arms free and made an emotional decision that I wish I didn’t. But right now, I am trying to move on from it, and there is nothing that I can do but apologize.”
Ok, I don't appreciate the spitting but to get a hearing?
A fine would do. Nobody is injured. Wasn't racist. The person spat on was another player not official.
Spitting is bad, while harmless, it’s probably the most offensive non-verbal “offense” a person can commit. I guess peeing on someone is worse, but I don’t believe I’ve seen an athlete disrobe in order to do that, lol.
speaking of offensive cheap shots, anybody recall Mike Bullard, then with the Flyers, swat Hatcher with the blade of his stick during a big scrum? Skated right up and pimp slapped him right across the chops with his Sherwood. I don’t think he even got a penalty for it.
imagine a player doing that in this day and age? Holy cow, the outcry would be loud and long.

Hagelin isn't that type of player. He's a Swede. Most Swede's are good natured. Hagelin does things with hard work showing example to others.I tell you what, Leipsic is doing what I hoped Hagelin would be doing. Being a pest, causing havoc, and occasionally getting scoring chances off that havoc. I wish I was seeing a little more Leipsic in Haglins game
Might have been my favorite sequence of events this season.
I don't doubt that NBTW saw proper sucker punches, but I am just still trying to see them for myself. Hathaway called it a sucker punch, but when gloves are off and players are engaged, they are more like punches in my book. Even with a ref holding on.
Here is a proper sucker punch for the old timers to enjoy
Well the Caps finally made the espn talk shows
WTF?
He should hope for no games and expect that. 5 games? For spitting?? A headshot doesn't get you 5 games in today's NHL. 5 games for spitting is insane.
It was talked about on every radio show I heard today and I listen to a lot of them on my drive. Every hockey commentator weighed in and a bunch who aren't. Jim Rome had the hottest of hot takes.
Hathaway will be known for this for the rest of his relevant time in the game.

I'll just go ahead and say yes, I am defending the spitting.
Insult, shminsult. It's a completely non-dangerous play. Sucker punching is infinitely more dangerous, cowardly, and egregious unless the spitter has ebola or something. I'd spit, scratch, kick, and more if I was sucker punched while restrained.
The hockey community is weird sometimes.

I liked reading the cbs power rankings today:

The terrifying thing for the division and league is they haven't even started yet. They could have a 10 point lead in the East by Monday.
The Islanders will have to lose some. Right? The Islanders really don't play anyone good til December
