   NHL is a joke now the lighting players can skate with there heads down in game 7 and dont have to fear getting kronwalled

   nhl and consistency… these two words just do not fit together it seems…

   Subban tries to destroy the opposing teams best scorer's wrist – no suspension.
   Palat blatantly targets the head, jumps (+ kind of blindsided his opponent) – no suspension.
   Kronwall delivers a hit, that many would consider clean (not everyone, that's granted) – suspension!…

   it disgusts me just to think about it…

   Charging, 2 min minor could/should have been called. Glendenning stops up and bails just prior to the hit changing the position of his head. What would have been a normal body check(with a hop just prior to making contact and NOT driving upward into the head) became a check to the head.

   In no way is this similar to the Kronwall v Kucherov hit. Had they called Kronwall correctly in game, I'm pretty sure he'd not have been suspended in game 7.

   It's okay, it's a clean hit because it was delivered from a Tampa player to a Detroit player and not the other way around.

   I've noticed that in the play offs he had gotten really agressive. I'd never really seen him fight or really check someone too hard but during the playoffs he was crunching people left and right.
