Last night, there was quite a stir between the CH and the Senators. You already knew that.
We were wondering if Ridly Greig or (especially) Arber
Eric Engels reports that following yesterday’s match, we should not expect more measures to punish the players.
What this means is that Arber Xhekaj will undoubtedly have the chance, if Martin St-Louis wants to play him, to get out of a third game in a row in three days, against Ottawa.
We’ll see if he plays.
I still believe that the Sheriff deserves a suspension. Even if it is the stick which hits Tim Stützle’s face and we cannot judge an intention, it remains a dangerous gesture.
It has no place in hockey. In my eyes, he should be punished.
I don’t think either team will put this behind them in Saturday’s game. I fully expect things to change and I wonder if Martin St-Louis will adjust his lineup accordingly.
Note also that Frank Seravalli confirmed Eric Engels’ information: there should be no suspension.
Remember that the Sens are on the menu on Saturday and that two of the first three games of the season will take place against Toronto and Ottawa. It will clearly brew on the ice.
It remains to be seen how the Sheriff will respond – if he plays.
In burst
– Big match yesterday.
– Raptors in Montreal: training behind closed doors. [JdeM]
– Oh yes?
