Very surprised he received a game for this.
Lots of people letting their Flyer hate cloud their judgement I think.

Weber takes a guy's head in his hand and drives it hard into the boards - no suspension.
Ovechkin, a repeat offender, leaves his feet and flies into a guy's head once again - no suspension.
Giroux, with no prior offenses, catches a guy's head with a shoulder check (No elbow involved) that was well within the time limits after the puck being released, gets 1 game in the playoffs.

I would be confused as hell playing in this league as to what is and what is not allowed.

Great job Shanahan!

I could see this deserving of 1 game maybe during the regular season, but no way in hell should he have gotten one game in the playoffs. Sorry, but it just was not that dirty.

i think the nhl is a total mess with how they handle suspensions. was this the worst ever hit to the head? no. but it was a hit to the head nonetheless. i think the fact claudia took a fit in the offensive end and continued up ice and delivered the hit played a large role in the one game. shanny says as much on the video.

Just because the league sucks on other instances does not mean you can use them to argue a different case.

Hitting guys in the head is not allowed. There is no ambiguity.

Shanahan blowing it on the Weber thing doesn't mean he should continue to make the same mistake.
