One Game Suspension for Hansen for Hit on Hossa

It is also well known that Keith will fight to stand up for himself and others, including against much larger/tougher opponents, for example Wisnewski after the Seabrook hit.

So when a non-fighter like Edler is there he will fight. When a guy like Bieksa challenges him, he needs Dave Bolland to attack from the rear...

Well there has been some consistency, that is, consistency in being more terrible and terrible each subsequent suspension.

I don't think evolving necessarily would denote consistency either, but that is semantics.

Again...I don't care if Shanahan doesnt cite that.

You might have a point if he came back into the game, but he didn't and you guys came back and almost won because of it. You should be happy he didn't snap right back up because you'd be one point shy in the standings if he did.

Your completely unbiased opinion in this thread has been refreshing!

I agree, but if you are going to be dirty...you live by the sword and die by the sword.

In all fairness though, if Hossa gets that rattled after an elbow/forearm to the back of his helmet, should he really be playing right now? Imagine if he takes an elbow or something to the face, where he doesn't have protection...

I'll leave the convo after this response.

Tarasenko had prior concussion history, his eyes were rolled back in his head and the first instinct was to try and get up.

I think he'd try and get up and go to the quiet room. Now we know he wasn't concussed and is 100% good to go.

Not a fan of motionless laying on the ice, when you're not unconscious. Get up, take the stride and a half needed to get to the bench and see the doctor.

Done.

He did? Looks to me like he got up slowly and wobbled to the locker room.

Definitely, so much bad blood, will make for an awesome playoff series.
