Suspension makes sense to me...it was an ugly hit but no intent to injure and Hjalmarsson doesn't have a history of being a dirty player.
An unfortunate event that sometimes just happens, hopefully Pominville will make a full recovery. |
I just watched it on youtube. The first angle they showed (where you could see both players' faces) looked a lot dirtier than the angle from behind where you could see he didn't raise his elbow. Definitely a suspendable hit though, IMHO.
Two games means Hjalmarsson's first game back will be Saturday against...the Sabres. That will be an interesting game to see. I'll be watching baseball though...someone (cough - Tom
) let us know if there is any retribution.
