    lol at no suspension for Nash.

    he left his feet, it was from behind, it was to the head.

    But 5 games for the Kaleta thing?

    I know they look at 'history'.... but the league writes the history when they choose whether or not to suspend people.

    The league discipline is a complete joke and obviously skewed toward the bigger markets. I know Ill likely get flamed on a Rangers thread saying that, but thats the way it is.

    There was an interview with Nash after the devils game where he kind of took a jab at hank. He said something to the effect of,"ya, lately he's been real good."(referring to hanks play) last night they talked to hank and he basically said something to the effect of,"we need to score goals to win games, that's how u win games." Something I picked up on, maybe nothing there.

    Don't want to put words in his mouth. But the Rags are scoring less per game than last season. Which I thought was impossible. The reason we got Nash was to help with that. Henrik is still top 7 in GA. I didn't see the game last night but I would guess a lot of our shots were to the goalies chest. We never make the goalie move.

    Shanahan on Nash hit / & no suspension

    http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu ... --nhl.html


    NHL Department of Player Safety chief Brendan Shanahan called Rick Nash of the New York Rangers after Nash’s controversial hit on Tomas Kopecky on Tuesday night.

    “It was a rotten hit,” Shanahan said he told Nash.

    But not a suspension. "There are lots of hits that we don’t like," he said.

    “We don’t like this hit. It absolutely should have been a two [minute minor], and probably should have been a five,” said Shanahan, in a phone interview on Friday.

    The no-suspension ruling from the NHL on the Nash hit was that it was an awkward, spinning collision between two players in which the significant majority of the contact from Nash landed not on Kopecky’s head, but the back of his shoulders.

    “We don’t see this as being principal point of contact to the head. For a fact, we don’t see much contact to the head at all,” said Shanahan.

    “On the Florida feed, when you slow it down, you see Kopecky’s back right shoulder is the initial point of contact. If you slow it down even further, you see the back right shoulder and the nameplate aren’t just the initial point of contact, but the principal point of contact.”

    Controversy raged over the hit because the aesthetics were damning for Nash. He left his skates to deliver a high check, and Kopecky’s helmet came crashing to the ice after it.

    On the latter point, Shanahan said it was a “whiplash effect” that caused Kopecky’s head to snap and helmet to fall. As for Nash jumping into the hit, Shanahan said far too much attention is paid to that aspect of many checks.

    “The commentators have too much of a fascination with ‘did you leave his feet?’ We don’t suspend for leaving your feet. We suspend for leaving your feet and hitting a guy in the head violently,” he said.

    “It’s like a slashing minor, a slashing major and a slashing suspension. It’s the same thing as leaving your feet on a hit. When it rises to a suspension is when a player is in control of your hit; when we see a predatorial play and make significant contact with a player’s head.”

    While they weren’t primary factors in the decision, Shanahan said that Nash’s clean record for supplemental discipline and the fact that Kopecky wasn’t injured “reinforced” the League’s decision that this wasn’t a suspendable offense.

    It wasn’t a hit the League felt should have been delivered, and told Nash as much. But the NHL felt there wasn’t enough contact with the head to warrant a suspension nor did it rise to the level of “predatory” hits that only make some contact with the head.

    Thus, Rick Nash skates away from a potential suspension, as a time the New York Rangers couldn’t afford to lose him.

    before the game starts tonight.

    Oh and I read Mike Sullivan might be a candidate for Tampa Bay head coach.
    ( They fired Guy Boucher overnight )

    tortorella... turning 40 goal scorers into shot blockers. fitting square pegs into circles.

    tank the remaining 15 games, get a high pick, hire ruff in the offseason and start new next year. done.


    this team blows. /negativity.

    edit: fuck... even invite avery to camp. at least you are guaranteed one guy will skate with heart.

    Your Tortarella complaints apply directly to Ruff.

    Ruff tries to turn everyone into a miscellaneous 2-way forward. I think Ruff will best serve a team who is financially constrained and depends on building from within.



    Laviolette may be the right guy for the job once Philly fires him.

    That dude for the Toronto Marlies looks like the real deal too for whoever gives him his 1st NHL job.

    I don't see any problem with players being expected to be two players ... Bowman turned yzerman into an effective two way player. Torts didn't just forget how to coach ... Same coach that lead them to the best record in the east last year.

    I think it's quite possible the rangers over achieved last year more than anything ...

    100% this. this team had zero offense last year, scored a goal or two a playoff game and then hoped lundqvist kept the damange to a minimum. last year's playoff run was fun (2 game 7's), but all points considering, it is pretty amazing they made it to game 6 of the east finals. and the devils weren't a better team, the rangers just flat out ran out of gas because they were spread so thin from the first two rounds. would have been wise to pull the trigger on nash before the deadline...

    nice win lastnight though. SILLY short handed goal by callahan :shock:

    now back to backs against the penguins. just hoping they get 2 out of 4 possible points.

    He wants everyone to be Jochen Hecht. He will bench Vanek, but will provide top minutes to Stafford and Hecht. I could see him clashing with Gaborik, Richards and Nash.

    He also discourages aggressive/physical play.
