Smith should def get suspension for his classless act if he’s that rattled because a team is taking him to the woodshed maybe he should find the bench for a game or two

@ blomfield: I like that. (^^,)/ ! But the way suspensions are being handed out and how inconsistent “you know who” is, who knows what we’ll expect.

Doesn’t matter one way or the other … the entire Phoenix team will be suspended shortly !

Anybody see how cheap tickets are going for in Phoenix? It’s so cheap, it’s stupid!

I couldn’t believe they gave something to Brown for embelishing. What do they think happens when someeone basically takes a 2×4 to the back of one of your knees and you don’t see it coming?

One thing for a goalie to hack at the boot a little bit. Whole other story to go for the back of a knee.

Smith looked to be harnessing his inner ‘Hextall” with that slash. Yikes.

For what has happened this year in the first 3 rounds, I bet Shanny can’t wait to get out of the office and onto the golf course.

The hockey knowledge in the crowd is awful, way to cheer for the big illegal hit.

Doan nothing
Smith nothing
Should be 4 games for Hanzal if you want to really send a message but will most likely be 2

doan doesn’t get a suspension.
hanzal gets one suspension.
smith should definitely get one suspension. even though he’s a goalie and needs to be protected, what he did to brown was blatant and flagrant. you can’t have it both ways. and maybe if one whole game suspension is too much, then maybe a one period suspension.

The NHL should suspended him for 7 games, a cheap shot by a frustrated player.

…based on which of the nine (so far) sets of rules / explanations we’ve heard from Shamahan?

Doan should walk. Smith should get a 1 game suspension for being a disgrace to the sport and his team. He better get his temper under control. Hanzal should get a 1 game suspension. Hanzal doesn’t have a history which is why he gets off relatively easy in my opinion.

Needs to be suspended. Clearly had an opportunity to turn and put a shoulder into him rather than shove him from behind. As for how many games, Shanny only knows
