Sidney Crosby doesn't skate with his head down like Lindros. He'll be fine.

paille gone for 4 games

[h1]Daniel Paille suspended 4 games[/h1]
Boston Bruins forward Daniel Paille was suspended four games by the league Friday for his blindside hit to Dallas Stars forward Raymond Sawada in Thursday night's game in Boston.
Paille had a Friday morning disciplinary hearing via conference call with league vice president of hockey operations Mike Murphy.
The Bruins, in a statement, said Paille would comment after practice Friday.
Normally, league disciplinarian Colin Campbell would have held the hearing. However, Campbell's son, Gregory Campbell, is a Bruins forward and was involved in Thursday night's game, in which Paille was ejected for an illegal hit to the head.
Paille got a match penalty for his hit on Sawada in the second period of the Bruins' 6-3 win in Boston.
Sawada had lost control of the puck and as he leaned down to gain control, Paille connected with a blindside hit to Sawada's shoulder and head.
Sawada was able to get up on his own and skated off, but did not return. Stars coach Marc Crawford said Friday morning that Sawada had a broken nose and a sprained shoulder.
"It's a bad hit, right? That's what they're trying to get rid of and you can't be hypocritical about it when it happens to you and say it's fine when your teammate does it," Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference said after the game. "You hear it from every player after they do it; they feel bad. I talked to Danny and he feels bad. It's tough, that backchecking forward, to make those kind of hits. It's so hard to do it in a clean fashion with the new rules."
It was an unusually violent game from the start. In the first four seconds of the game, there were three separate fights. Stars agitator Steve Ott bloodied Gregory Campbell one second after the puck was dropped. That was followed by Boston's Shawn Thornton pounding Stars forward Krys Barch one second later.
And then Boston's Adam McQuaid was fighting Dallas' Brian Sutherby four seconds in as the crowd roared with approval.

That was a clean hit.
If they wanna call it a blindside hit then suspend him, fine, but it was literally announced in the arena as a HEADSHOT MATCH PENALTY, which is something i've never heard as a call before. Unless i'm blind, all the replays i've seen were shoulder to shoulder. On the plus side, we get to see what Zach Hamill can do.
Game was great last night, I had a feeling Ott/Campbell would go off the faceoff but I never expected 3 fights in 4 seconds, then Ferrence with a straight up KO.
He's really stepped up his body game.
I almost didnt wanna go cause I barely slept the night before and had school all day.
Whenever I think that, it ends up being an awesome game.
Shawn Thornton turning into a sniper this season.

NO GET OUT OF HERE!The answer is probably yes though. I'm the only Wheeler fan in Boston, but he could get you some goals. Send us Ehrhoff.

agreed with all that man. i thought the hit was clean, and i think the league is just being overly cautious about that
as far as wheeler, that's two of us that are fans man. i like him. i think he works hard, and i think he's pretty effective on the PK. he doesn't finish as much as you'd like, but in his defense, he gets very little chance to settle in with two linemates with all the line shuffling that goes on.
very excited to see hamill tomorrow

Pens are handling business though. Your squad like aforementioned is still winning games without their 2 superstars, that in itself shouldn't go unnoticed. Once Crosby gets back you guys will probably go on another crazy streak too.

I dont know this for sure cause I havent been following it but I bet if this was the SC Finals, Crosby would be playing. I'm not saying anything about him, but they're probably playing extra careful in the wake of the Savard thing and everything going on the NFL. Hes the Jesus Christ Super-All-Star of that team, not to mention the league.

Exactly what I was going to say.
Lindros' size and strength as a junior allowed him develop bad habits. In the O, he was able to skate recklessly with his head because there were no consequences-- and even if he was hit, he was so much bigger than his peers, that there would be no damage.
These habits carried over into the NHL, which is why we saw him get clobbered so many times. Unfortunately for Eric, though, the guys in the NHL are considerably bigger than those in junior.

Eric Lindros is still hall of fame worthy if you ask me
he changed the game as the first big man with speed and skill, he may not have lived up to the Gretzky/Mario "Next One" tag but he still had a VERY good career.
Looking back it's a shame how his career with the Flyers went down, I put the blame 50/50 on his dad and Bobby Clarke

Our offense is unwatchable at times, especially the power play.

Game against the Pens today is meaningless, should be an easy win.

Malkin won't be back to normal for 2 years in all reality, that sucks for him, wish him the best
on a side note, I was looking for jerseys, dude sold 132 Clark Griswold Hawks jerseys in like a two and a half months, that's probably a quick $4,000 profit

Cooke tried to do some damage on that hit....
I wonder what Pittsburgh does to shake things up...can't see them keeping things status quo before the deadline.
Good win for the Caps
PP is oh so close to regaining it's form....even tho the caps didn't score on the PP they were moving the puck well and had some good chances.
