Tim, it was a clean hit. He hit chest first, and the shoulder-head contact was minimal. It was nowhere close to the blatant headhunting shot of Orpiks on Maatta the other day. It was a little late yes, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the media and fans are trying to make it out to be. The worst aspect of it is he…

Letang should get at least 1 game and so should Backstrom for kneeing Letang in the head...

Not really a late hit, main point of contact seems to be the chest, may have got his face a little bit. If Orpik’s hit was a 10/10 on a scale of shitty hits, this one is probably a 6.

Where were you on the Oprik-Maata hit? Not even a mention of it in this article?

Did I miss the post from Saturday night with Orpik’s hit? This was late, and just stupid on Letang’s part, but to highlight this one and not Orpik’s, which was worse, is swell. 1 game for Letang.

As someone who would love to have evidence, I would be surprised if there was any. A quick look shows no Penguin was suspended this year, but 9 other teams can say that. If I recall a few years ago, there was a table that showed game misconducts against, and pretty much no team had a bias except the Detroit Red Wings,…

The most annoying thing about hockey fans is they all think the league is out to get their team and favors whoever their team is currently playing. It happens in every sport, but it is worst and most annoying in Hockey.

If someone has any actual evidence that the Penguins get fewer penalties and suspensions over the years than other teams, I’d love to see it. Otherwise, this storyline that they do is just whiny bullshit. It’s also amazing how all the alleged preferential treatment they get resulted in exactly zero titles or finals…

Seriously, I don’t understand. A little late but looked shoulder was initial target. I swear both teams have made 3-4 hits like that in each of the first two games - save for the result of a downed player

Literally missed one shift, it was a clean hit besides the fact that it was late... Nothing like the elbow Orpik threw

That looked like some solid embellishment to me.

What the hell is this post? It’s just a hockey hit.

Pssst, Timothy. Johansson is playing.

FYI the pic you used is one of a kid eating dippin dots...so.....
