The forward can not pursue the puck, if they're all that concerned about it. Whereas a D doesn't really have much choice. Personally I'm fine with it, and think it's a good compromise between touch and no-touch (which I personally don't much like).

Even if realignment had already happened this year you would have clinched...pretty crazy. Amazingly enough 2nd place would be...the Capitals.

Heh, Atlantic. Jesus, I was on my way to bed and decided to gloat first. Silky smooth as always.
Without sounding like a Bruins homer.. how's everyone feel about the hit on Marchand tonight? Shanny already came out and said non-suspendable.

N/m found it on espn.com. If Shanny said non-suspendable is he thinking about a fine at least? I didn't think you could throw forearms/elbows to the head like that. Now I'm not sure how much intent there was with the puck coming around that might have been an uncoordinated attempt to smother it against the boards, but he certainly should be held accountable for not being in control and causing an injury like that.

Hmm yes on that vid he does seem to turn to see Marchand coming...and Shanny already said no suspension? I feel like the job is overwhelming him these days.
I just find it personally insulting he already came out and said not suspendable. Pretty quick decision there pal.

Wonder if that means he'll make a video on why it wasn't a suspendable offense.

I have no fucking clue how that can be even considered non-suspendable. Didn't the NHL want to get rid of hits to the head? It can't be much more evident than this that Volchenkov raises his elbow when he sees Marchand, leads with it and plants it firmly in the side of Marchand's head.
And I think Marchand in general is a little rat bastard so I don't feel like I'm exactly biased for him.
If there's no suspension for this hit, together with the Rick Nash debacle, it's starting to get really tough to see any kind of consistency in the rulings (not that there was a whole lot before.)
