Hawks need to be more physical towards the end of games, IMHO.

Oduya had like 2 critical errors when Vancouver pulled the goalie

I'm very concerned about Hossa.

This. Playoffs start in about 10 weeks, hope the bells in his head stop ringing by then.

Yeah, when he had the puck in the center of the ice and didn't clear it, you knew disaster was lurking.

Yeah that was strange, all he had to do was give it a little flip. Alot of errors in those last 4 min.

Apparently Hansen has a review with the NHL at 3pm eastern today. I dont see how you can argue he was doing anything other than trying to knock Hossa off the puck with a forearm to the head.

 

 

Of course, the Canucks dont see it that way

 

Hansen called the hit "a hockey play" and said he and Hossa "ran into each other."

 

"I think I kind of grazed on the back of his shoulders, and then he goes down," Hansen said. "I don't see what happens afterward because the play continues a little bit. First when I'm looking back, I see that he's down. Not quite sure what's going on."

 

Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said Hansen didn't do anything illegal on the play.

 

"It wasn't even a penalty," Vigneault said. "Both referees looked at the play. Until Toews went out to talk to them, it wasn't even a penalty."

 

Vigneault doesn't believe Hansen will be punished for the hit.

 

"Not a chance, not a chance," Vigneault said. "He was trying to grab a puck in the air. It's unfortunate if the young man is hurt. [Hansen] was trying to jump to get the puck. Stuff happens."

I happened to catch part of his interview after the game, and he used the phrase "hockey play" like 3 times in a minute. Total bulls***. So he was trying to catch the puck with his elbow/forearm?

LOL Hansen. What a dumbass. I hope they throw the book at him, Torres-style

He was apparently going to grab the puck, through Hossa, with his elbow.

@The1Tab. One game for Hansen per posted, then removed suspension video.

I demand another Flyers-Penguins playoff series this year, even wilder than the Hawks/Cancuks rivalry.

Agreed. Love those games.

ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks Hossa is on the ice and fully participating in practice.

Crawford, too.

Crawford is out here, too. Don't see Emery, though. Karlsson is the second goaltender.

 

 

@2ndCityHockey

Crawford and Seabs participating too.

 

 

Seabrook too. Everything is right in the world!!!

It's like Hockey Christmas.

Hossa being at practice is great, but I wouldn't mind him taking some time off. Maybe a game or two.

I concur, especially with a stretch of 3 games in 4 days coming up.

Why doesn't hockey eliminate all contact with the head.

 

It is not like football where the essence of the game is to get the other player to the ground.

 

You hit a guy in the head, automatic 5 games.

All this Western Conference stuff is getting to me - I've never been "tired" of watching the Hawks play the Sharks before!

 

Go Hawks!
