And Nazem Kadri has been called up on an emergency basis for the Leafs game against the Sharks

 

Jeff Carter just did it again. Clear elbow to the head that might well have just killed a guy. Game on versus.

 

Stretchered off. Upon further review, maaaaaybe not as dirty as I first thought. Check that. Maybe not as illegal as I first thought.

 

who did carter hit?

 

Honestly, some guy I'd never heard of. I'll find it. Gimme a minute.

 

Check that, I have heard of him. The ... other ... guy in the Kovalchuk trade. Anssi Salmela.

Scored a shorty, and as he was cutting across, got knocked into the middle of next year. I'm torn on the hit, but possibly because I'm conditioned to hate the Flyers.

If he wasn't out before he hit the ice (which I think he was), he was definitely out after he landed on it face first.

 

I work from the assumption that if it ws a Flyer, it was illegal

 

Already up to 10 pages on hfboards. And it features the timeless response from a Flyers fan of "your retarded."

This is one of those where it's probably/maybe/I think legal by the book, but Carter definitely knew what he was doing. He was looking to knock the guy TFO and he did it.

 

That's not as impressive as it sounds. Those guys can rip off 10 pages every time someone tallies two assists in a game.

 

Looked like a clean shoulder-on-shoulder hit to me.

HFboards? Wow, can't believe someone wades into the kindergarten.

 

Just saw it. Looked OK to me.

 

Too late for Scott Stevens to unretire and get even?
