Did not even look like a hard check , but the neck can be a bad place to hit.    

Yeah. Wtf happened here?

Not much contact and he's laid the ***** out. 

[Norcal]

He'll do, I guess

Remember when a punch to the back of the head ended Baby Joe Messi’s career? Yeah, shots the the back of the head are dangerous.

Did 27 catch him with a butt end to the face?

It was to the neck. His neck was hit from both sides

imo just bad luck as the other player elbow caught him as he was going down so he kind of took a double shot.

Interesting to me is that Perron gets a player safety hearing (which he deserves for using the stick) but a few weeks back Trouba did the exact same thing to Trent Frederik on the Bruins and he just got to go home to his hot tub and relax. The disparity is annoying. Trouba gets away with way too much all the time.

That’s one hell of a scary image right there, attacking someone directly on top of your teammate who looks like a corpse outline on the ice.

‘tis the season for boarding apparently. After Kane (no penalty), Robinson (5 PIM, misconduct) now nick cousins (2 mins for boarding) rattles Gudbransson in exactly the same manner. 
 

why are the refs so freaking inconsistent. All 3 were exactly the same. 

[Ducky]

Connor just left the game with a knee on knee from Strome.

He got 5 minutes and a game.

Of course, the Jets looked pathetic on the ensuing lpower play.

Wishing him the best in his fight.

WGRZ website says it was Hodgkin's for Don. In 2005. Then of course he had the bout of severe pneumonia in 2019 in Buffalo.

Different refs and it's a changing game. It's hard to make the transition. All of those hits used to be legal back in the day. idk, eventually it'll be all non contact but maybe I will be dead before we get there.

Gonna be difficult because that area has filled in so much and gov doesnt have the power without Alexandria's approval... Alexandria is a chartered city in VA... one of 3 that have the power of a county... they have shot down other projects in Potomac yards... itll be an interesting fight.  PS i lived there for many years and del ray section of Alexandria has the political power there and very nimbyesque

Yes, just south of Reagan National Airport (DCA), at Potomac Yard at the north end of Alexandria. 

I've actually been to the site of the new arena.  The site is currently a large strip mall anchored by a Target.  For people flying in to see a game you could feasibly walk from the airport to the arena, and there are already a bunch of hotels nearby in Crystal City (immediately west of the airport).

I've been to Crystal City for business and typically I walk from the airport to Crystal City, and I've walked from my hotel to dinner in Alexandria.  (It's a bit far for most, a mile to the hotels, maybe a mile and a half to two miles from Crystal City to Potomac Yard.)

But for the less pedestrian adventurous, there are Metro stops at all those places too.

Interesting background.  I wonder if the whole Potomac Yard thing is a ploy to force the Capital One Arena updates?

[Doohicksie]

The Twitter reaction is that people from Maryland/north of DC are up in arms because the new site is too far away.  It's 6 miles, just a few stops down the Metro.

Marco Scandela with a shortie for the Blues. Another minus for Kaner who is -2 for the night.

Sens burn one of their games in hand, losing 4-1 to Carolina, who snap a 4 game skid.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Edmonton is 7-0 in their last 7 games... Talk about a turn around... Let's hope Buffalo takes notice.
