He's done.Oh man, Dekeyser better be ok.
I think the Canucks are far and away the league's most bitch filled team. Every single one of them has some douchy looking facial hair and cry when a call doesn't go there way, then take cheap shots left and right then cry harder when a team fights back or they get called on it. It's a culture of trying to be the less manliest team on the ice over there. Not even the Pens can match their level of crying.
Gryba looking at a 5 game suspension? Longer?
League needs to step in and set a precedent early in the playoffs that hits to the head (intentional or not) won't be tolerated.
Reminded me of the Hossa shot last year.
Caps!! Holtby was huge!
Habs lose because the Sens goalie played well and Price did not.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby told reporters Friday that he will play Game 2 of the playoff series against the New York Islanders.
Crosby returned to practice almost two weeks ago but has not played since March 30 because of a broken jaw.
The Penguins won Game 1 of the series 5-0 on Wednesday.
Game 2 is Friday at 7 p.m. in Pittsburgh.
The Penguins star had a series of dental procedures since getting hit in the face against the Islanders and missed the final 12 games of the regular season. Despite that, he finished third in the NHL with 56 points.
Crosby will wear a protective cage as a safety measure.
Forward James Neal is not expected to play because of an undisclosed injury he sustained in the second period of Game 1.
It's almost better they let the Ducks back in the game, they stopped trying to injure people and actually tried to score goals.Wow I just watched the recap of last night's Wings v Ducks game... that must have been one awesome game to watch. The highlights were out of control!
It didn't show the Dekeyser injury though... I'm assuming he took a puck to the hand? I heard on the radio it was a broken thumb.
I'm really glad that ex-Bruin Vlad Sobotka is getting quality minutes for the Blues. Loved him in Black & Gold, dude's a gamer.
I disagree with this. This type of thinking is what is going to lead to further wussification of the league. I think the Backhand Shelf blog on this covers it pretty well. But if you'd rather watch TSN analysis on the hit then I've included that link as well (video also imbedded in the blog). They probably described it best by saying basically that it was a good hit with bad results.

Must be nice to play in the East.Goal! Pens ~45secs in the first
Must be nice to play in the East.
Crosby goal less than 4 minutes in.
Must be nice to play in the west, you know, with the lack of offense.
