Kaleta was out of line - Richards was hurt, but playing 2 minutes later...
Kaleta gets 3 games....just in time to return for the Rangers game next week...from there the Rangers can send whom they need to out on the ice to confront Kaleta, who will have to drop his gloves and fight....
He either defends himself or takes his beating - and we can all move forward with the season....
What makes you think that besides being a Rangers hater? How do you know exactly what he was feeling? Are you a pro? Do you take head first dives into boards a lot, it would explain things. - HankdaTank
I don't hate the Rangers. Adam Graves was one of my favorite players as a kid. Plus if it was that bad of a hit he would have maybe missed a shift or been checked out in the dressing room.
It was a joke about last night, but apparetnly sarcasm is lost on you. I would watch it with the clown remarks though, he is always lurking. . . - ImThatGuy

yeah, like Ryan Miller last year with Lucic when he played an entire period after the hit, and then faked an 11 game concussion.
I read a couple of comments saying buffalo fans dont believe kaleta should be suspended. No one has said that, we all know Kaleta should and will be suspended. What we say as Buffalo fans is this crap happens all the times and over half of these hits go unsuspended/ looked at by the NHL. I.e Girardi last night, a couple of times from malkin and so on...
Sabres' Kaleta 'trying to do my job' during boarding penalty on Rangers' Richards

RALEIGH, N.C. -- With a disciplinary hearing coming at 3 p.m., the Sabres' Patrick Kaleta declined to get into specifics regarding Sunday's boarding penalty on the Rangers' Brad Richards. But he said this afternoon he feels like a "bag of garbage" for taking a penalty that led to two goals in the Sabres' 3-2 shootout loss, and he had nothing to say to Richards.
"I’m going to keep it as limited as I can, but I’m just sorry for the position I put the team in trying to kill that penalty," Kaleta said in the team hotel. "I feel for that, for putting the penalty killers out there and them getting the two goals. It makes me feel like a bag of garbage after seeing that.
"But I’m glad that our team responded with that. I’m proud of it and just going to go forward."
The Sabres were a man down when Kaleta cross-checked Richards in the back, sending one of the NHL's marquee players crashing into the boards. Kaleta was given a five-minute boarding major and ejected from the game.
"I was on the penalty kill, so on the penalty kill you’re playing a zone, you’re not really supposed to finish check, etcetera," Kaleta said. "I just play hard, and I was on the penalty kill trying to do my job."
The Rangers railed against Kaleta following the game, calling the hit "disgusting" and "stupidity" while condemning the right winger for repeated infractions through the years. Kaleta has made a point during the past two seasons of trying to clean up his image.
"I have changed my game," Kaleta said. "I know I have. I know players have seen that, and even referees have came up said, ‘Hey, I respect what you’ve done so far. As long as you keep showing that respect towards us, then we’ll respect you.’
"I loved hearing that and know that they’ve seen a change in my game, so I know I’ve changed my game."
Still, the right winger is in line for a suspension of at least one game and possibly five when he talks with discipline czar Brendan Shanahan over the phone today.
He had nothing to say to Richards, though, taking an eight-second pause after being asked if he had a message for the recipient of the hit.
okay all pictures and stupid poop aside...your team is absolutely horrible and has one of the lowest levels of talent in the league if not the worst. your roster lacks so much heart and skill that your coach for like centuries got fired because of them. you guys have 2 less points than us and 3 games played more. you WON'T be making the playoffs for a 2nd consecutive year. nobody on your roster is worth anything via trade and your GM is underrated in the "giving out the worst contracts in the NHL" department. your roster is a bunch of lower-tier 2nd liners and 3rd liners with vanek. the bills suck too. buffalo is a cursed sports city.
your weather blows, people in buffalo are ugly, and you guys are rednecks cuz you have farms too

Listen, I'm starting a Bradley Richards foundation. In honor of his memory we are currently taking donations so that we can send one lucky young lady to the Julliard School annually. It's the proper way to honor such a great and honest human being.
He was legit sucking his thumb at one point.
