[...] Means Go: Friday’s Winnipeg game sees the return of Mike Green to the lineup after a 3-game Shanaban for his hit on Brett Connolly in last week’s Bolts game. Greenie is still pointless in ten games since his February 18 return from injury, and if this team [...]

I think it’s a fair punishment, and I’m scary in the tank for Greenie.

why does the NHL hate the Caps? seems like we get suspensions, penalties and fines for the same things every other team does but seems like the other teams aren’t held accountable–I hate sounding whiny but I really feel there is a pattern.

seriously, 3 game suspension? Maybe 1 but 3 is f-ing ridiculous!!

It blows, but honestly I would say that that was a pretty good call against Mike. If he hadn’t led so hard with his elbow it would have been a clean play.

Ever since Backstom my opinion about suspensions and concussions has completely changed, shit aint cool

I’ve been wondering about that myself. Seems that the 18 month limit doesn’t seem to apply at all — at least not for suspendable offenses.

So there is no clean slate after 18 months?? So why even have the 18 month “repeat offender” standard?? This baffles me…..

Ok, I can see a fine here but the suspension is crap.Good thing the Caps are already used to playing without Green.

Hm, I remember Green being suspended for elbowing, but can’t remember when he “was fined for similar accident”. Link, anybody?

What irks me is that nobody, NOBODY, but my friend and I seemed to see a TB player actuall jump into a hit in the Tampa zone several minutes later in the same period. I didn’t get it recorded, but we did back up the broadcast to watch it twice. Yep, both skates off the ice as he checked a Caps player into the boards. Same kind of hit that OVI got suspeneded for, but apparently nobody has seen it (or mentioned it).
