Ah, suspend for the name, not the act. ****ing moron.
Thats not his only explanation, just part of the reason he didnt suspend. He thought it looked like Wolski saw him at the last second and tensed up, which is exactly what happened.
He also explained how wolski was looking at the puck and about to goto his point or gabby's point. They ran into each other.
I love Alfie and everything but I really think this was an accident, dont look at it with homer glasses on, its almost the same as Neil on Grabovski.
I didnt agree on how little Carcillo's was and how high Sutton's was tho.
Shannahan is an idiot.
Wolski identified Alfredson, best player and the capitan and sold it, making everyone to believe, that he was actually following the puck and the play. Senators could not identify at first who did this. That's how concealed the hit was. The blow to the head was a deliberate attempt to injure a defenseless player , because the whole arm was forcefully moving even after the hit, following its trajectory.

Where are Wolski's quotes where he says he never saw him until it was too late? What we do have instead is Wolski claiming it was a clean hit, which leads me to beleive he knew what he was doing.

The only similarity is that one player went down. Neil wasn't skating at all and pretty much standing in the spot where the collision happened well before Grabo decided to skate towards the middle.

Respectfully I have to say bull
You can clearly see in the video his head is pointing directly ahead of him and only slightly to Alfi's left. His head never moves and the hit was perfect timing to connect with his head.
Unless Wolski has no peripheral vision and just got really lucky then this was 100% intentional. There is absolutely no justification here other then no past history for Wolski... Which is ridiculous.
Like I said before, this whole outrage on head shots hit it's peak with the Crosby situation. Shanahan has his job because of this headshot outrage yet he turns a blind eye on a concussion to the longest serving captain in the NHL. The Alfi hit is even worse because he clearly puts his elbow up.

It wasn't an accident. He tracked him and brought his elbow up. He didn't just stiffen for impact, he raised his elbow. The hit on Grabovski was different.
Having read the nhl.com article, I think it's safe to say Wolski will receive a bruising come November 9th. Hopefully, such a big bruising that someone gets suspended.
I don't mean that in a bad way on our part, just in a way to suggest that Wolski will miss a fair few games.

This.
Comments from Wolski and Torts make me want them to get hurt.
Some of you need to grow thicker skin. You're acting like children.
Alfie skated in Wolski and Wolski took advantage of the situation, same thing with Neil (although Neil on Graboski looked more incidental to me, and nowhere near as vicious).
Yeah Alfredsson is out and it's a shame Wolski is getting away with it.

Time to move on and get on with life.
Dude our captian Daniel Frickin Alfredsson is out. Have you heard of him, 1000+ points and stuff, not just your average player.
This is unjust.
We are the Garbage Men of the league. We are not a second thought, we are not priority. Even when we were tops, we were not thought of any differently.
This is why I love this team so much, we are the underdog. To win we must defeat more then just the team on the ice against us.... We have to defeat the Ref's, the NHL, and the Media. The hockey "Gods" can only do so much for us. It's a constant battle, and it will be so much sweeter once we finally win a cup against all odds.

Shanahan really fuct up here. He was reacting to criticisms from fans, GMs, and media alike when he decided to stop Shanabanning. "Are we trying to ban hitting from hockey here". "Shanaban". As the guys on the Healthy Scratches put it last week, Shanahan isn't used to these kinds of criticisms and negativity towards him. He was the Sherrif wherever he played.
He got Sutton, but didn't have the balls to suspend Wolski for a hit that looked very much like the Steckel hit on Crosby, which really got the ball rolling.
Shanahan is proving to be a tool. The guy is too green for the job, which is a tough one for even the most experienced. People don't respect inconsistencies in his position, and he is already losing it with his peers, fans, and media alike.
It really doesn't matter in the big picture if Wolski is suspended or not as he's a nobody, Alfi is hurt, suspending him doesn't help him get better soon. Let's turn the page on this no matter how bad the decision was.
Now if the Sens feel that "supplementary discipline" needs to be applied November 9th I have NO problem with that

The discrepency is the real issue. Losing the team's heartbeat makes the matter worse for the fans here discussing Alfredsson's injury.
Shanahan is looking less and less credible, and now I am confused what's legal and what isn't. This is not helping the game we love to watch.

Elbow at head height, in no uncertain terms, is deliberate. Your arms naturally hang down. Watch the reply, and specifically Wolski's right arm. There was no reason for him to lift his elbow unless he was trying to injure Alfie.
Alfie gets hit with cheap shots time and again, and nothing ever gets done about it. Bell, Adams, now Wolski, and people like you are the ones who let those *******s get away with it.
Make no mistake sir, this was no accident. Wolski and Torts are greasy ****ing rats, who deserve to have a power sander driven accross their smug faces.
Wolski doesn't need the book thrown at him, he needs to have it jammed down his ****ing throat. Shanahan just showed the world that he isn't consistent. If Wolski gets taken out next time the Sens and Rangers play, no one should be even remotely surprised.

With all due respect, this attitude is not good enough. You're essentially saying "Guys, just bend over and take it up the ass, Your Captian got batantly elbowed in the head and now has a concussion, and you should just shut up and take it."
That exact attitude is what lets people get away with ******** like this.
