Geez....no one touched him....Gionta almost killed himself

That's going to leave a mark. Hope he's okay.

[thepittman]

Holy christ.

[sharpshootr55]

Whoa, that was pretty brutal.

[shafnutz05]

**** you Gionta

[shmenguin]

Eesh. I like all these guys on the devils. Don't like to see something like that.

[Gaucho]

Ouch

[brwi]

OUCH.

[NashvilleCat]

Hope he's alright, but why the whistle?

Player safety. He took a major hit there. I'll take that whistle every time.

[Gaucho]

I just thought a whistle isn't blown until the injured players team has possession. New rule?

I wish I still had my foam moose antlers from that playoff run.

[skullman80]

yeah no problem with a whistle there.

[SoupOrSam]

I'm nitpicking. Kennedy is a waste of money, really he is. Lol.

Looked more to me like he was try to take out Vokoun and paid for it harder than he thought he would

They stop for potentially serious injuries. That could have been ugly.

[CoachBarnyard]

The Pens are putting up no offensive zone pressure. One shot (if that) and out. J staying on the forecheck longer.

I'm pretty sure it's at the refs discretion, at least that's how it is in amateur/high school hockey. If they feels it's bad enough they can halt play immediately.

Thanks for clarification. No problem with the stoppage, just wasn't sure about the rules.
