I don't think it was as egregious as some of the stuff we've been seeing....but who knows, maybe it'll spark the team.

As a standalone case it deserved one game. However, nobody can convince me that what he did is worse than the crap Shea Weber was only fined for.

Yeah, it's just the inconsistency bull****. Honestly, I don't even care that he gets a game. We've looked so bad, maybe it'll be addition by (forced) subtraction.

Have I told you guys HFBoards is terrible for discussion? It's worse than the OS NBA forums and that's saying something.

Very true, but the photoshop and gifs (Kesler tumbleweeds, anyone?) more than justify its existence. Some of the work done on their game day thread intros is flat-out amazing:

Yeah but with Ovie it happens every game. Never seen a star player in my history of some 30+ years watching hockey, routinely take runs at guys every night and never so much as get an interference penalty. Yet there's Alex Ovechkin doing it every ****ing game.

Stupid Ward penalty. NYR ties it.
