    I just double-checked twitter, and yes, Briere and Grossmann will be in the lineup for Game 1.

    Weber's ass needs a night off for that bullshit at the end of the game. He looked like George the Animal Steele going to the exposed turnbuckle

    that was a very aggressive, chippy game

    I hope Weber get suspended if he really punched Zetterberg in the back of the head and pushed him into the boards from behind in the last seconds, I didn't see a replay and the feed I was watching on-line cut out

    He swung and mostly missed the first time, so the second time he grabbed the back of his head and rammed him face first into the glass like he was in the WWE.

    He punched him in the back of the head and then tryed to slam the head

    I could see detroit's buddy in the league office suspend weber, but at the end of the day....i don't think it warrents a suspension

    sounds like something that can easily warrant a suspension to me

    if it was Tootoo acting that way at the end of the game, don't you think he would get one?

    Someone has it up on Youtube already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uV4EwedHC9I

    I'm generally a fan of Weber, but that's just not okay at all. :nono:

    ok after seeing that, that is definitely a suspension, 2 games minimum

    you can't allow a player to take both of his hands and drive an opponent's face into the glass after he sucker punched and missed, unacceptable for NHL not to suspend Weber for that horseshit move

    Wow, that is definitely a suspension. I expect better from Weber.
  • lukin2006lukin2006 Posts: 9,087
    Weber probably gets 1 game...Shanny hasn't done anything different than Campbell...or at least for the most part...also wouldn't surprise me if he gets none. It's shaping up to be a heck of a series...could go 7.

    I don't know what Weber was thinking, especially with only a few seconds left.

    I hope Darren Helm is OK after taking that skate to the arm.

    Also, the refs need to keep that whistle on mute in the next game. 17 penalties is ridiculous.

    What a fucking idiot. That should be AT LEAST 2 games, if not more. I don't give a shit if it's the playoffs. Complete cheap shot.

    that looks pretty bad ... i hope he gets more than 1 game ...

    We'll see how Shanahan fares with discipline in the playoffs. Whatever he opts to do for this should set a precedent for the remainder of the postseason.

    Definitely a suspension coming...will be interested to see if Don Cherry pulls up video from the game showing something Zetterberg did to Weber that set him off. Similar to how he showed Daniel Sedin throwing an elbow at Duncan Keith before Keith leveled Sedin...so we'll see...either way if they don't suspend him I'm fine with that as well.

    from the free press
    At the end of the 3-2 loss to the Predators, Zetterberg checked Weber, who responded by grabbing Zetterberg's head and slamming it into the glass, twice. Zetterberg wasn't available for comment after the game, Wings coach Mike Babcock said he was too far away to see much and hadn't yet seen the replay, and Weber wrote it off as "playoff hockey."


    No word yet from the NHL regarding any possible disciplinary action, but league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan already has reviewed what happened and will make a decision today. He might just issue a warning, in light of Zetterberg not suffering any injuries. But the NHL has made a big deal all season of protecting players from head injuries.
