Weird...so Giroux has a hearing, yet Ovechkin gets nothing for his flying elbow headshot?

I thought Shanahan already established that headshots at 100 percent legal, because Ovechkin is a star and the NHL doesn't have the balls to suspend their stars.

It's coming up as precedent for future suspensions. He got away with it, why not everyone else?

I'll agree with LA as they're a totally different beast these days and with how quickly they offed STL (aka, Rangers west), it'd be a horrible matchup.

every team left is a tough matchup, especially considering the rangers have scored 2 or fewer goals in 8 of their last 10 games.

anyway, the flyers are spent. their stanley cup was beating the penguins. just don't see the same fire in them now.

bryz looked pretty bad in games 2-3 but the flyers have had tough time playing against this style all season. the devils are playing a very similar game to the rangers - aggressive forechecking that forces the opponent into mistakes - and the flyers have had difficulty getting up ice and covering in transition.

the playoffs are all about momentum but a bad matchup can change that pretty quickly.

A hearing for Giroux? Jeez. It was a high hit. He grazed his face a bit, then hit him in the shoulder. This is easy. A fine.

I can't believe people are still saying Ovi should be suspended for his hit on Girardi. People blatantly disregard photographic evidence, huh? Plus Girardi's hit on Hendricks was an actual head shot.

Either way, should be a great game tonight -- can't wait.

Here's the photographic evidence:

- Ovechkin leaves the ice with both feet similar to Raffi Torres, who got 25 games
- Ovechkin uses his elbow to drill Girardi in the head

That's your evidence. Video clips from all angles show this.

Feel free to provide any clips that show otherwise. The photo of Ovechkin breezing Girardi's shoulder does not work because it does not show the entire play. It would be like a player doing a 360 degree baseball swing with his stick and destroying another guy's face, but people would post pictures saying he didn't see the guy when he started the swing so it's a "clean" play.

Ovechkin deserves a minimum three game suspension. But the NHL protects the stars and lets them get away with anything. It makes the league completely illegitimate and biased.

Sure. A fine.

Giroux is a star so lets just give him a fine. Lets baby our little stars.

Guys got suspended left and right in the first round, and now it's the second round so anything goes.

I can pause the video myself and see that he didnt hit the head first. Its pretty damn clear to me and to other reporters and analysts who said the same thing

The only reason the Giroux hit is a penalty or suspension worthy if it is, is because it was late. We've learned numerous times that if you hate a player in the head with the shoulder because their head is down, it is okay.

Fuck, Devils arena still show one of those hits at the arena whenever they play the Flyers.

The Hagelin and Giroux hits are no where close to being the same.
