Yeah mushrooms and kids wouldn’t be a good combo unless you were a sick son of a female dog.

I'm not a doctor, but I watched Pageau wobble after Ovie's hit, and I was a little surprised they let him return to the game.

Following him to the corner out of his sightline, however, was Ovechkin, who delivered a crushing hit to Pageau, contacting his head

Huh, the refs and league apparently saw it differently!

I agree, it was surprising that he returned in the game. Hopefully the team would hold him out tonight (and beyond) if there was a risk of longer-term consequences. But I guess if you're going to make an issue of the potential head injury to Pageau, you'd have to also talk about the direct cause of that injury, and that might inconveniently get in the way of the feel-good Historic Record Chase story.

Wow this exec sounds like us

“They don’t have much (up front). They have (Mathew) Barzal and after that, Nelson is good, but it’s the older guys who are over the hill.”

The executive continued: “They have some skill, but it’s still slow. They emphasize more working hard, a lot of puck pressure, a lot of dump-ins, stuff like that — not much puck possession. They’re just chasing, chasing, chasing. It’s based on really hard work, hustle. It’s hard to play. It works when you’re fresh, but when the season goes on, the less fresh you get.”

The sad thing is Idiocracy is supposed to be 500 years into the future, not 10. Yeah, it’s a great movie, dumbed down society run by a an autocratic government and a few corporations who own everything.

It’s frightening how much from Network has become true. Way ahead of it’s time.

I was VERY surprised. And I’m still surprised that he’s good to go tonight (or so I’ve read). Dude obviously had his noodle mashed.

The lack of response from anyone..........the refs, the NHL, Pageau's teammates.........was disappointing. I suppose the argument from the point of view of the refs and the NHL is that Ovie is much bigger than Pageau, so his shoulder naturally hit Pageau's head due to that size differential, not because Ovie was aiming for Pageau's head. I am not saying I agree with that argument, and there have been plenty of guys suspended for shoulder hits to the head. The real reason could be the one you mention. Then there's my favorite conspiracy theory, involving Colin Campbell, who has been shown to be incredibly biased toward certain players/teams, and yet he still wields all kinds of power in the NHL executive offices.
