![]() I edited the post. Just no consistency by Shannahan, that's the ridiculous part.
Here's the hit by Ovechkin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8myT-qqM0TI

![]() The only thing I'd say about the Ovechkin hit is that Girardi is looking Ovechkin square in the eyes when Ovechkin hits him. Ovechkin is just one big dude. Also, much more of a body check than the Giroux play.
But yes, Shanahan/NHL has been incredibly inconsistent this year. I think the issue is that his boss is Bettman and Bettman's bosses are the owners, and while suspending guys for infractions is what he's supposed to be doing, it's got to be difficult to do that with the dynamics of the situation (especially in the playoffs).

![]() giroux deserved a game-it was blatant elbow directed at the head.
ovie? no, i don't think it did warrant a look. and knowing how shannie likes to review, i'm sure he'd have done something if it was called for.

![]() Shea Weber didn't get called into the principal's office for slamming a guy's head into the turnbuckle; why would it be surprising that Ovechkin didn't get a call for a 93.7 percent legal check?
Again though, completely agree on the lack of consistency. I did think Giroux was much more blatant than Ovechkin though.

They say past hits impact the punishment. Giroux has no history and Ovechkin has had a number of questionable hits. Shanahan has a tough job but he sucks at it. |

![]() I don't believe Weber actually had an official disciplinary hearing, which I don't believe is necessary via the CBA to fine a guy. I think Shanny just called and said "don't do that again" and that was the extent of the "hearing."

One or two horrible calls/non calls against the Rangers can be written off as coincidence, but it's gone far beyond that IMO. |

I'm just confused about the inconstistency of Mr. Shannahan's office. I really believe that the Ovie hit was borderline, but if he follows the path that he has taken during the post season so far, there should have at least been a hearing.
