Chris Pronger has finally retired for good. Always a shame to see a player (especially a highly talented one) go out like he did.

N/M. Wrong thread.

Especially of Dubnyk, apparently ole' Chico Resch was pronouncing his name in something of the form of "Dubniyak" or whatever, and now I can't get that pronunciation out of me head.

Patrick Kaleta suspended 10 games for his hit to the head on Jack Johnson the high number of games for a hit that didn't cause injury was due to his repeat offender status.

[DaRadniz29]

OH, wow, Please Dan Boyle be okay. What a change in tone today. Could care less what happens in the game now.

[Sodboy13]

Could have two 10-gamers in one week.

[ninersdd]

Lapierre is an ass.

[DaRadniz29]

And Valsic basically eliminates the Sharks man-advantage. Ugh. I'm probably overreacting but a I hit like that should be a 10 minute major.

[TorinK92]

heuh, Alfredsson is wearing #11 with the Wings. I legitimately didn't care this entire time.

Reaves is a :censored:stick and I hope Lapierre gets 10 games for that hit.

[NEW.ERA]

Ryan Murphy is going to be a great player, for a really long time for Carolina.

[Kramerica Industries]

At least the Devils are still winless.

There...isn't such a thing?

Got to see Carolina's uniforms in high definition tonight. They're really awful.

[sportstar1212]

Did Lapierre recieve 5 and a game for that? And yes, that should be 10 games.

I actually think there is, a ten minute powerplay but not sure - or at least there used to be. Or maybe it was two combined 5 minute majors. I just remember some team getting a ten minute powerplay, but don't remember the details. I thought game misconduct plus match penalty (Intent-to-injure) constitutes two 5 min majors. But I don't believe Lapierre intentionally tried to injure Boyle, so.

[Kevin W.]

Lapierre got a game misconduct, a five minute major for the hit on Boyle and a fighting major.

Yeah he did. Desjardins got 2 for instigating Lapierre, 5 for fighting and 10 minute misconduct. Pelech got 5, 10 and game. So it was going to be a 3-min PP for SJ until Vlasic was called for hooking making the PP 1:45 or something. Not sure the instigator on Desjardins should have been called in this instance.

Still the Sharks won the game. More importantly hope Boyle is okay. So far it's looking positive. He's moving and was responsive.

There is no game misconduct + match penalty. There's five + game or match penalty, which in practice are the same thing, but I've never heard of assessing both. And with Lapierre, as with Torres, you have to err on the side of intent at this point.
