Looks like Doan won't get a suspension for the Letang hit:

quote:

“It is not boarding, it is not charging, he doesn't hit him in the head. He finishes his check by shoving Letang and unfortunately, he falls awkwardly. It wasn't really even a violent hit, although resulted in an unfortunate injury.”


says the NHL. The only other call it could be is interference, but Letang was the last one to touch the puck prior to the hit.

That being said, Doan didn't have a reason to hit him, other than he was the best defenseman on the other team. I hate plays like this even though they are legal.

Seemed pretty standard to me, just very unfortunate for the Pens and Letang.
