I thought Boyle's hit was completely clean. It looked shoulder to shoulder to me. Hickey looked like he was trying to draw a penalty and it backfired. Now Hickey's hit on Drouin earlier seemed suspension worthy to me, but everything I have read is putting the blame on Drouin for having his head down. To me that doesn't excuse the hit, but I clearly seem to be in the minority so I must be missing something.

The thing with the Hickey hit is they not only did Drouin have his head down, but he also skated into Hickey's check. By current league standards that hit was in no way suspendable. It wasn't that late and Drouin amplified the magnitude of the hit through his own actions. If the league wants to crack down on any and all head contact and anything that resembles interference then great, but that was a clean hit.

Hags and Kunitz swapping? Are you high, trolling, or bad at jokes?

When I watch it though, it seems like Hickey is fully expecting him to do exactly what he did. His hit looks like it would completely miss if Drouin doesn't cut back into him. That to me tells me he fully expected him to cut back into him and that he planned the hit accordingly. To me that is enough to say he was targeting the head. That said, I fully appreciate that the league can't make those assumptions and has to go based on what is seen and not try to gauge a players intent.

I don't really care either way, I was just more or less blown away that everyone seemed to be in total agreement right off the bat that it was a clean hit.

Its a shame the level of reading comprehension in New York is so low. I trolled after your two trash fans trolled our area first. Then all you guys have done is cried about how I trolled there since, no matter what is said.

Whatever. Caps or pens doesn't matter to me. The only real hate I've got is for the f'n flyers.
Love Hags. Never liked Ovi or Backstrom. Hate Kunitz though
Have a great game guys!

I want to talk more about headshots in general and the Letang hit specifically. I don't feel the topic has been covered well enough. Can we get back to that for a second?

Well, the Rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night,
And they got ass raped by a ghetto penguin with a 21 inch peter.
Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my suspension now.

Somerset is much further from Pittsburgh than youd think. I remember getting on the turnpike several times thinking oh ill just get gas at Somerset and then driving on empty for 30 effing miles. It did have one of the better Starbucks on the turnpike though

When they redid that whole plaza and put that starbucks in I was in highschool and it was like the cool thing to do to drive out there and get starbucks. These girls would wake up an hr early to walk into school holding that starbucks cup. I'd honestly prefer sheetz coffee if I have to get some while I'm out, flavored and milky coffee makes me have to poop.

Go back to not calling them and tell players to hide their concussion symptoms and case closed.

All coffee makes me have to poop but sometimes I just need one. Not overpaying for Starbucks though. I'm taking the cheapest coffee available and I'm too lazy to deal with cream and sugar.
