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.  |
Seth, I thought the exact same thing. I could understand sitting him for one game. Three games is insane.
Here are the two hits, one guys doesn't even get a hearing.
