Back in time for the playoffs good. Seriously don't understand the idea that we don't need heart, energy and grit on our 4th line heading into the playoffs.
Is this his 1st suspension this year?
At this point, I don't think there's any guarantee that Therrien is going to dress him in the playoffs.
Brutal.
Way too harsh.
But then again, Shanny has no idea what he's doing.
I don't see how its too harsh. Ryan White took a lengthy run at huskins, and didn't hit anything but his jaw clean on. It was completely reckless (which is what White is), and totally unnecessary. I blame him for the loss to the Flyers. Hard to get in a game when you take stupid penalties like that and wake up the opposition.
White stopped skating, and didn't jump. Huskins pulled back. Had Huskins pulled back sooner, or stayed as he were he wouldn't have been hurt, there would have been no 5 minute major and no suspension.
The onus of making a clean hit is on the hitter, not the player being hit. It's Whites job to make sure he hits him in a safe spot. The jaw is not a safe spot. I agree Huskins stuck his head out and leaned forward like a Pejorative Slur, but White is still at fault.
