1. There is no chance Sutter turtled against Grabovski. He would have to turn in his Sutter card if he did such a thing. You need to post a replay of the full incident. Falling and going into turtle are not the same thing.
2. Sutter wasn't even the guy that cross checked him. It was Jay Harrison. I wonder if he even knows that. It was weird that he attacked Sutter for some reason.
3. Sutter is a classy player and probably wouldn't indulge Grabovski in any kind of "get back", type game next time out. The Canes picked up the two points and the game was over. No need for all that extra stuff after the final whistle.
i think Grabovski was going after Harrison and Sutter got in the way
Is there something to be made of Grabovski "looking forward to next Canes game"? I mean, what, exactly, would Sutter be fearing? That he'll be chirped at?

Nah he went right for Sutter after the game ended. Or at least that's what the camera angle on the Canes broadcast showed. Weird, as if there's anyone he should have gone after it's definitely Harrison.
It wasn't a turtle, pretty quick takedown for Grabo though.
I think your definition of turtling is a little off...
Grabovski, KHL please.
Grabovski, KHL please.
I think you are as confused as Grabovski. Sutter didn't turtle but Grabovski sure embellished the cross-check from Harrison. Then again they gave a Staal 2 mins for similar contact.i think Grabovski was going after Harrison and Sutter got in the way
That was Cole fishing for the puck. Interesting too that there's been no mention of Grabovski coming up high with his skate around Sutter's groin when he was getting up. It's hard to know but Sutter didn't seem to happy with Grabovski when they squared off and before Grabovksi initiated things.I always thought that Grabo may have been more upset that he was being pitchforked (puck was under or near him) when he was down and apparently hurt. No idea who that was though but it seems like it was the crosscheck. Meh.
Grabovski 13 goals 14 assists 27 points > Skinner 9 goals 17 assists 26 points and everyone else not named Staal on the hurricanes...
wow. amazing. a soon-to-be 27 year old is putting up better numbers than an 18 year old...
We never said we're a scoring machine like the capitals. We're slowly rebuilding, winning games, and fighting to stay in the race for the 8th spot. Let's not compare franchises here, buddy.
( this is where you post how many cups the Leafs have won prior to 1970 in order to deflect the utter mess that is the Maple Leafs right now )

you guys are not making the playoffs, its gonna be tough playing .650 hockey the rest of the way....
Nice trolling.

Wtf was Sutter doing? His dad and uncles would be ashamed.
Not sure you know what that word means.
And the Leafs are? Enjoy handing over a top 5 pick for the 2nd straight year.
Getting blindsided by a guy he didn't even hit. Anyone who thinks this is turtling may need to go find the definition of that word.
what blindside ? they were both swinging at eachother
Initially. You did watch the game, right?
But by your description, that's not even turtling.
