    Default Eric Nystrom's hit on Kris Letang 2/29

    Very unfortunate for Letang, but I don't think it's illegal and doubt Shanaban will dole out any SD.

    Agree. Clean hit.

    Don't think there really should have even been a penalty.

    Milbury said it was worth a five games so ???. It looked like Letang bent over reaching for the puck after Nystrom had him lined up. Unfortunate result but not intent to injure from what I saw. Nystrom may get a game or two because he didn't back off the head contact but certainly not five.

    JR and Milbury got into quite an argument right on the air over this. JR was right and Milbury is a pure ass, as always. I have no idea how he keeps getting jobs.

    Honestly, what's Nystrom to do on that hit? Letang is an idiot for leaving Nystrom no choice but to pop him in the head. How can you criticize the guy when his BICEP caught his face?
    I'll be interested in how the league and Shanny handle this.

    i'm not even seeing a hit to the head here, if theres any injury on this hit it's probably a shoulder/collerbone.. uh i mean, an upper body injury

    I think he clipped him in the jaw, but that's going to happen if you suddenly lead with it. Unfortunate for Letang, but I don't see it as suspension worthy.

    Nystrom avoids the Shannaban. I think Shanny got this one right.

    Good decision by the league office. Hope Letang is not seriously injured again, but he was just coming back from a concussion. I hope they give all the time he needs to get back.

    Unfortunately, I saw that gem of a segment.

    Made me want to stab my eyeballs with a rusty pair of scissors and then shove them into my ears.

    Both of them need to go far, far away.
