He is like a blue heeler, kick him in the head and jumps up and comes back for more.
Well except last night when he was trying to draw a more severe penalty - Oilhab
Boychuk got him good. The way i see it, if a guy is going through as much punishment as Grabo did last night, he's playing playoff hockey. If I don't see any leafs by the time they get back to Toronto with black eyes, stitches or bruises, I'll be pissed.

Or a chocolate on his pillow.... (this is Boston after all) - Beatle_john
Your hate for Boston is hilarious to be honest. You're complaining on a suspension decision that hasn't even been made yet, in a series your team isn't playing in LOL.
I completely thing he will get a game, and it wasn't an elbow it was more of a shoulder, but it was a hit to the head so he deserves at least a game, possibly 2.
Guys lets be realist here...the leafs are not good at all....they were lucky to make the playoffs....they probably won't make the playoffs again for another 9 years....GO LEAFS GO

Grabby got but ended i thought that was kadri or someone else.
Didn't grabby get elbowed to the head?
Anyways they all were embelishing it's said for a big bad tough team like the leafs. - Oilhab
he got an elbow to the head on the one hit.. then the other one where the trainer came out was a solid hit along the boards.. but the bruins player fell on top of him and accidentally drive the butt end of his stick into grabo's chest
it wasnt intentional.. but that would knock the wind out of anyone
Someone on the last page mentioned they thought when Rask played the puck that it was outside of the trapezoid. Curious as to what you saw. I thought he played in front of the red line then let it slide through the are he can't play the puck until it went in the trapezoid, then played it in the trapezoid. Did I miss something? - RickJames77
I actually think you're right on that one. He was out of the trapeziod, but he didn't play the puck when he was. He waited till he was back in his safe zone.
Imo the trapeziod is one of the stupidest rules to ever be created for hockey. If your goalie is a strong puck handler, he should be able to exploit that. Brodeur would be at 5 career goals by now, not 3.
But he didn't play the puck illigally. Just kinda danced around it.

Yup, was a penalty most of the time this year. The big ref boner was in the first, Rask played the puck 2 feet out of the trapazoid, no one noticed, not even the TV guys, it was early and people were all excited and no one noticed. - aminnes
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found something fishy about that.

Grabbo is used to a hard stick on his chest, don't worry

i dont know about you, but i usually play better after i get hit or when my teams playing bad
not sure why, just time to step up i think
was playing in a 3 on 3 tourny just stayed back this guy speared me, and is like what you have no goals trying to chirp me. Went and scored 3 goals in 5 mins and laid him on his ass and we won - nightmare3020

The Bruins are big and bad whatever, but they are babies, they don't like being hit at all by anyone , specially smaller players.
Hit them, keep hitting them and don't retialiate when they come at you with their cheapshots and you will spend the whole series on the PP.
Trying to run from them and only use your speed and try and "get around them" (like that other guys said) is playing right into their hands.
