Lemeuix bit a guy's hand... All you can do is hope your guys learn and better themselves.
All this talk of them being dirty, one of the worst things I saw was that play where Nurse yanked Moor's skate up and flipped him completely over. That was the most overtly obnoxious thing that stood out to me.
I'm impressed by DOPS. A suspension in an elimination game shows guts. Not Lizotte level of brass balls but still impressive.
I bet the Edmonton boards are melting down.
True, but that was against Tkapuke. Granted, it's not a good look.
But still, it's no intentional unprovoked headbutt like Nurse on Danault... or Kassian's cross check to Durzi's back for no reason. Both of which are unrelated to a battle for the puck.
i agree that there's some nuance there. But every team has a guy that crosses the line here or there.
Yeah that seemed like intent to injure to me as the whistle had blown and Moore was looking in a different direction.
He wouldn't be doing that if he was playing against, say Reeves on the opposing team line up.
Isn't that what Lemiuex is for? My guess is that Lemiuex is under instructions not to feed into it, as are the rest of the Kings. Gotta think if Edmonton stopped with the cheap shots and focused on playing the game it's very likely they'd be leading this series.
Smart move by the Kings staff and players to take the higher road and stay focused on the game itself.
Absolutely.
The best way to get back at Kane and the Oilers Goon Squad is to eliminate them from the playoffs. Kudos to the Kings for maintaining their composure. And now Edmonton has lost their best defenseman for an elimination game. Kings need to take advantage of his absence and end this tomorrow.
they might as well grab this guy at the same time...

I didn't see the headbutt but I thought that play was terrible and suspension worthy.
they were both suspension worthy. The head butt was pretty brutal as well. But Kane is leading with his elbow to the face. Doesn't really get more textbook than that.
