I think he targeted Anderson from the blindside. That he made head contact, minimal or otherwise, is separate from his intent. He saw him engaged w Chara and wanted to hit the shit out of him.

If he did it shoulder to shoulder, great - but he didn’t IMO and it’s dumb regardless w 20 seconds left to go in the period and nothing going for CBJ momentum-wise
Engaged with Chara is a stretch as he was just really stick fighting with him. It was just so bang-bang I really don’t believe it is suspendable due to him going chest, shoulder, head. If he wanted to hurt him he could have.

Between here and everywhere.
I know it hasn't clicked yet, but I love Columbus' powerplay. Get the puck to the guy on the half wall, and let him skate to the center of the ice for a high danger area shot. It's working every time, they just haven't buried one. Terrifying though.

306, row 14
Pointless to try and figure out any suspension. I think he’ll get one but the length will be determined based on a number of unknowns at this point.

That was fucking stupid.

Weak call, sure, but undisciplined when you have another defender right there.

Tuukka has been nothing short of fantastic this series.

I am glad Josh Anderson seems to be ok. Also this does make some sense:


Let DoPS handle suspensions. It sucks for Columbus in a super important game like this though
