I think there is a such thing as injury emergencies.

any official word on jake? hope it isn't the dreaded concussion
- flyerscup2011

biggest thing was how his arms reacted when he got hit. I hope not but I dont think it will be good

I will agree it was predatory. That is Kronwall's MO. The only way to put a stop to it is to start running Zetterberg and Datsyuk. As I said, the only way Kronwall avoids head contact there is to avoid the hit altogether.

The refs are losing control of this game.

Exactly.....I put it all on Voracek. End of his shift and he got lazy/careless, he looked up and saw Kronwall, then put his head down!?! I would say predatory if Voracek never had a chance to look at him....Voracke was out on that shift for a long ass time

You could tell he was out by the way he put up his hands to defend himself about 5 seconds after he actually got hit. You hate seeing that.

Concussion for sure.

Did you think he had a shot at 20 goals this year?
- Duran76


Thought he was going to become a 20 goal man when he was in Hull, but didn't think so after those low scoring years. No, didn't think so for this year. His real value anyways is in the playoffs.

Yup. Jagr just went to the locker room. Beyond ridiculous at this point.

Well, I wont go that far as to blame Voracek completely. I actually think Voracek was looking cross ice and never saw Kronwall.

Kronwall tried to kill Read about 45 seconds before that. Same side of the ice, same type of play. Read saw him just in time.

I remember a lot of Pens fans saying they wouldn't miss Talbot when we signed him. I wonder if they still feel the same?
- BulliesPhan87



I think the consensus is that he is outperforming our expectations but we're still fine without him. We used some of his money on Neal.

Great insight from Howe talking to JJ + Clement. Talking about Ed van Impe teaching him the tools of defense.

the real dirty part of the hit by kronwall was that he bated voracek into thinking he was backing off, when jake took the cue he put his elbow into jake's face. to me that makes the hit an absolute cheap shot. and a head shot, gotta be a suspension.

I spoke too soon - wow what a great interview/banter session with JJ + Clement. Howe is so rad.

It won't be a fine or a suspension, nor was it an elbow.

the only thing about that is Kronwall was almost stationary when Voracek looked up and saw him ... and then once Voracek looked back down at the puck Kronwall saw his opportunity for a big hit, and took off right at Voracek looking to lay the shoulder on him.

Not necessarily an illegal hit ... but a clear intent to injure. Pretty dirty, imo.

As if i didn't love him enough already...


As far as the hit, keep your head up kid...


With that said i hope a Flyers destroys a Wing in the last period, where's shelley when you need him?
