Not only the officiating. What the f.uck is Shannahan thinking? 3 games for Haglin, really? Shea Weber slams Zetterberg head in to the glass like he was George the Animal Steel and he only got a 2500 dollar fine. Phillps elbows Callahan, doesn't even get a hearing. Carkner pretty much jumps Boyle and only gets a game. Waiting to see what Shaw gets for running in to Mike Smith. Maybe it will be the death penalty (for the record that was another bulls.hit call).
Sid's an absolute douche.

For Shanahan to be basically saying that Hagelin's accidental elbow was FAR WORSE than Carkner's pre-meditated attack on a defenseless opponent, is DEPLORABLE. Taking into consideration injury is what makes these rulings so patently biased. The actions can be the same or worse, but if they LUCKILY don't cause injury, Shanahan lets it slide?
He says Hagelin's spotless record was taken into consideration? What does he get if he's a repeat offender, 15 games?
So the Rangers dress John Scott tonight, send him after Spezza, and hope one of Ottawas better players jumps in so both can be thrown out, just like what happened Saturday? Carkner, when he dresses, which is infrequently, might play 6 minutes. That one game suspension really hurts the Senators.
