interesting use of the word 'neutralize' in context of a player possibly ending another player's career. I get that it's a tough game, but blatant flying elbows to the snout of a player that is helpless/unaware is a pretty sh*tty and gutless play.

The best player to ever lace his skates was called Mr Elbows. Boo friggen hoo . Daniel got an elbow. Which of our players came to his defence ? That's right no one.

BTW Tanev if someone ever came after me with intent to injure the way Kesler just came after you would have had a cross check across the nose.

Guaranteed he would never do it again

I wanted to see Kesler get thumped this game. It wasnt spectacular. But i'll take it

I too didn't like the way the Canucks responded with respect to the Keith hit. That said, with respect to your other comments, you simply can't compare that with the Howe era, where players were a lot slower, had equipment which was not 'armour' tough (unlike what we see now with respect to elbow pads/shoulder pads etc). Concussions are a lot more prominent than they've ever been. Players like Keith know the repercussions of what they are doing. Again, it was a sh*tty and dangerous play that has no business being termed as simply a tough hit and a regular hockey play

Settle down Grapes

You know for a fact he was trying to end his career for a fact? Or was he trying to neutralize him for a few games?

I don't know of any player that has blatantly gone out and try to end some ones career or kill them. Sounds a bit extreme to me?

Do you have a source to back that accusation?

Well the puck wasn't there so it had nothing to do with playing hockey
