    Guy had a temper tantrum and it cost him a game.

    I don't understand why, Zubrus wasn't injuried, no prior incidents, and didn't leave his feet. Hopefully this will spark the Flyers but what a terrible way to go out. His hit was almost the same as Ovie's except Ovie left his feet and has priors.

    Shanahan explained them both. He should have just grabbed the back of his head and smashed it into the glass. Would have just been a fine instead.

    you're right. Giroux should have gotten more than 1 game. I would have given 3 games. And I have $ on the Flyers. Giroux basically melted down over nothing and tried to intentionally injury the guy. The Devil player's lucky he isn't out for several weeks with a concussion.

    If you look at it that way Weber should have got 3 games, and Carkner should have got 5 games +

    right.

    Come on be honest. If that was a Devil's player and he did that to Giroux, even though he managed not to get knocked out and a concussion, you would be saying that 1 game is not enough. Play hockey boys. Hit hard and during the heat of battle something happens, then so be it but when he goes out of his way to injury a guy and possibly end his career, that's bullshit.

    I agree that he should have been suspended but I just hate the inconsisty of the suspensions. If you say Giroux should get 3 games what do you think Weber, Carkner, and Hagelin should have got?

    I can't believe Giroux got a suspension for that. I could've seen a fine maybe. I honestly think Shanahan spins a wheel and whatever it lands on becomes the verdict.

    I think it was because there was no shoulder to shoulder contract. It was shoulder - head. I think it is consistent with the message they are trying to send.

    hits to the head huge deal. wwe turnbuckle slam off the boards not big deal. NHL just makes me laugh sometimes.

    I agree 100%. Remember what Duncan Keith did to Daniel Sedin? Effectively cost us (Vancouver) a run to the cup again. Personally I would have given Keith 20 games. Keith and Giroux aren't dirty players but just lost their heads. Doesn't mean they should get away with it. I want to see great hockey with the player's deciding the outcome with their skills and not whether some **** decided to cheap shot him and knock him out for who knows how long.

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knows the NHL is a joke when it comes to suspensions. In the preseason 3-5 games were being handed out to very weak hits and unintentional hits, now there are obvious plays where players are trying to hurt others and they either get nothing or 1 game. It's probably not Shanahans fault as he is probably just a pawn.

    Won't matter. Flyers will win and then lose game 6. Squares all over jersey.

    I don't play totals and this is a messed up spot. I actually have no idea about this situation and am not going to try to. Just a shame.

    He gave Hagelin 3 with no priors. Doesn't work that way, Beerman.



    He was also a Red Wing and didn't do shit to Weber. Carry on.

    Considering Weber only got fined and Carkner only got 1 game why should Giroux get more than both of them.

    You ever seen me bashing the pens after the flyers knocked them out? You win and enjoy. You lose and stay quiet and drift off into the sunset.

    What's the play tonight?
