Can anyone shed some light on how Grossmann is being used by Philly? Who is he matching up with and who is his usual D-partner? Judging by ice time it looks like Philly runs a top 4 D-corps with spare time for the third pair.

Him Coburn and couturier are consistently matching up with Malkin/neal

#SNPlayoffs breaking news. #Penguins Neal will have 2 separate #NHL discipline hearings Tues 10am. Asham will follow with in person @ 11am
He jumped into that hit on Couturier. If this was the regular season it would be a suspension. If Fistric was suspended because he barely left his feet to hit a player with the puck, then Neal should get a couple of games for jumping into a player who didn't even have the puck. However this is the playoffs, this is the NHL, and Asham and Adams will both be suspended so I doubt Neal gets anything more than a fine.

The hair-pulling rabbit-puncher hasn't even been called for a hearing, IIRC. Know something I don't?

I wouldn't call that jumping into a hit. I wouldn't even call it a hit. It was a collision. I believe it was mostly accidental. The jumping motion was Neal trying to get out of the way at the last second and being unable to.

No, it was not sarcastic. How am I wrong? Like the league never makes questionable decisions...

Honestly don't get how you come to that conclusion.
The puck is well gone and IMO all replays show he's leaving his feet before he slams into the guy.
He had plenty of room to get out of the way and if he didn't see him, well then he shouldn't be playing hockey cause he'd be blind.
