I dunno, I don't think Volchenkov's hit is as bad as it looks. When you're about to give or take a hit you brace your elbows against your sides and push outwards as the hit is made. Looks to me like he was doing that, but Marchand's hesitation/slowing (and being a midget) before the hit screwed up his timing, and his elbow came up early and caught him in the head. Could probably be a game or two, I agree. But I don't think it was intentional.
As far as Hall's chop goes, yeah that was cheap. Not sure if something happened earlier lead up to that, though. He's not hiding behind the linesman though, give me a break. The linesmen are smart enough to know what's going on, and who the Coyotes are after, so of course they're going to stand beside him to try to prevent any further scuffles. As far as it being suspendable, are you fucking retarded Methodical? No injury whatsoever, Michalek was able to jump right up and get in Hall's face. At most that's a missed 2 minute penalty.

He wasn't bracing, watch his left arm. He raises it up to head height and swings his elbow forward with his hand in, not forward to brace. No brace, it's an attack. It was closer to a Muay Thai move than a hockey move=P

Jokinen 2 more goals tonight. One was an awesome deflection. Those goals are always crazy to me, when I used to play deck hockey I could never get that shit down right. St. Louis had a really nice one tonight as well.
Also Kris Letang had the best check of the year=P Will post later if I find a good video of it.

The guys who are good at it are awesome. I always think teams overlook the slap pass for a redirect just off to the side of the goalie the way most challenge the shooter.
Wings have to play Squawks tonight on 1 day rest... while opponent's last game was 3 days ago.

meh, I don't really agree. Even his reaction after the hit makes it pretty clear it was an accident.

I'd love to see it. Trouble is, I'm a Leafs fan, and my wife is a Montreal fan. Our marriage may suffer.
I think Montreal would win in a playoff series. Toronto is just out of Playoff practice, and I think Montreal really is better in the long haul. Give them a seven game series, and Toronto is going to lose.
