  • Brendan Smith suspended remainder of preseason and 5 regular season games.

  • who are you to call it illegal? I don't think you can make that decision.

  • @letmepointout ref made that decision when he gave B. Smith five and a game

  • Not a penalty.....he had the puck and used his shoulder. THIS IS NOT A PENALTY!!!!!!!!

  • Please pat attention to ben smith's skates, legs, and direction. He didn't "deke into" the hit. He never even pulled off the toe drag. He put his stick/puck to the right side of his body but he didn't drastically move before the hit (the first replay is the best angle). I'm not saying brendan meant it, but it was clearly unavoidable. If this was a non detroit player or someone like pat kaleta, NHLArchive would be going off about how dirty this hit is.

  • Good play and clean hit, The league has got to get their head out of their ass!

  • @nihiven After all the concussion stuff last year, dildos like this guy still have to pull headshots. Shanahan's going to have to start handing out 20-gamers pretty soon, particularly if Gillies goes back to his old ways.

  • pretty sure the way the nhl works now, any hits on lindros would have been penalties...keep your head up and this wouldnt happen.

  • @goldiggah15 I get what you're trying to say. Even if he was dangling, there was no need to cut across and hit his head of all places. He may not have targeted the head.. but the point of contact was the head.. there's no denying that.

  • @nihiven so, what law does it violate?

  • This is like calling kronwalls hit on havlat iwrong.. IT WASINT and ppl still belive it is.. keep your head up.. smith is gonna be good in a year or 2
