Seriously, what about this hit is a hockey play?


Nothing. That's my point. That's what is so fricking frustrating.

But the NHL has clearly shown that they will hide behind the rule book the only thing they could do is unsportsmanlike?

It's not interference, it's not boarding, it's not charging. It is, however unsportsmanlike.

So what's going to happen next? I'll tell you what's going to happen. Next season, the first time Arizona goes up against the Penguins, be it a pre-season game or regular season game, someone on the Penguins roster is going to get retribution and make Doan pay. So now instead of one crushing injury situation to one of a team's best player, now you have potentially two. It's sickening that they don't try to rectify it.

I'd like to see Doan heavily fined. A suspension isn't going to do anything except start his summer vacation early.

And sadly, it's completely expected and normal. Surprises no one at all. This is the League we all know.







Meanwhile I have lost all interest in the sport now knowing damn well losing Letang = zero chance of a playoff run. He is 1000% the guy that makes the team click on both ends of the ice and powerplay. The Pens would be better off losing one of Malkin/Crosby than Letang. He is far more pivotal to the teams success especially this year more than ever.
