  1. if i was greiss and i saw abdelkader do that to my teammate… the result would be no bueno for abdelkader (im aware greiss most likely didnt see it)

  2. If you watch number 8 in red at 0:04, you can see that he attempts to spear him, but ends up tapping his inner thigh, but then after being dumped, he gets up and actually spears him for the second time.

  3. How does he consistently make Team USA? He's a bum! They cut Kessel for this irrelevant Detroit plug? No wonder Team USA hasn't won Gold for many many years, SAD!

  4. So Tkachuk gets a game for tapping a guy in the back of the legs and he gets fined for spearing someone in the nuts?
    I feel as tho someone dropped the ball here.

  5. Refs conspicuously let go obvious interference/trip on Mayfield. I guess they were wanting to give the Isles a PP since Detroit was up 2-1.

  6. It seems the assumption is that Mayfield didn't hit Abdelkader in the 'groin' or cup as he interfered and tripped, but the retaliation was for an obvious n0-call penalty that should have been called by the "NHL's finest". (Isles TV crew are pathetic-blind-homers)

  7. Mayfield feigning injury? He didn't miss a shift. Interesting how Crosby can injury a guy out of the lineup with a dirty slash, but gets no fine, no hearing, no suspension, no major, no minor.

  8. so this is not worthy of suspension, but tkachuk taps a guy and gets suspended twice… ok there player safety
