No way that much info already!!! I feel like I'm getting Gunnered here!!! Why do the Pens not go after Nystrom? Did they? I'm tired of it and it's time to kick some a$$. Maybe the most important player on this team.

Nothing official but I think we all know what it looked like.

Even if Letang feels fine did anyone actually expect him back after what happened in Montreal? No way

WHAT!!

engo checked him shoulder to shoulder... mystrom checked letang in the head with his biscep... you see a guy leaning you dont hit him... he could have moved... it was a bad hit

You missed where I said "If Letang stays upright". With Letang lowering himself he makes his head the principle point. If he stays upright Nystrom catches shoulder or chest much like Engo.

Apparently I'm wrong though because all the analysts are saying that it was dirty, I guess in the new NHL it is.

I usually am on the side of the new NHL but even I didn't see any way to avoid that hit. Similar to Doug Weights hit on Brandon Sutter years ago. Just not as violent. Unfortunate.

When I say engo or asham need to deal with it...im not sure i mean a neat lil fight....I'm talkin full on dirty cooke bs.. I am seriously tired of the liberties being taken on pens stars....not even just pens as a lot of other teams stars are getting this too(more of an impact on us it seems the last two years tho) I dont care for one loss to dallas or going down to four D for one night. A message needs to be sent at some point, because the league isnt sendin the message right. Shanny started to do it right in the preseason and then it seems he was told we cant have too many suspensions and poof we are back to square one.

Malkin is in Mario territory in the aspect that opposing players only option is to tackle him to stop him now.

I think you need to watch it again from behind...he clearly changes his path from going to the puck to ploughing right through letang's head. Furthermore these players know who had been hurt before and who to target for this kind of thing. This is a sick play that belongs no where near the NHL anymore. I can't stand milbury and jones and even they see it the right way. Jones seems to be one of the most anit pens guys out there to boot.

I would have done the same thing Nystrom did, that's all I know. Letang needed to be more responsible, Bylsma seemed to hint at it as well.

The one positive, Goligoski is due for a ghastly turnover that leads to a goal.

Has Sullivan hit the ice since he came back to the bench?
