Cap's played tough till the end.
No word on Pen's hurt players till morning, my guess is 50/50 chance Sid's out for the series.

Predators look pretty strong to this old hockey viewer. Might be trouble for the Pens if they both get thru to the final.
Suckin' Duckin's won one, bummer. I was hoping EDM would sweep.
Geno Boy did they Preads ever look good! I do like Edmonton too. Two teams that are fun to watch. That's what this time of year is all about, right? Fun for the players, fun for the fans. Loads and Loads of big hits, just like it was in the "olden day" ...............like before helmets! And "synthetic" sticks. Can't wait, 2 games "today" as it just turned Tuesday for me. Geno

rut roh!!
Not too sure about the major/ejection though!! Guess loss/control of stick.....Go figure!
Here we goooooooo!! I'm with you, thought it should have just been the major, not an ejection. 5 for not controlling the stick and an injury on the play. It was a typical "reaction" type hit. When I saw the slo-mo replay I was following his eyes and they were watching the game still, wasn't even paying attention to Syd after the hit. Niskanen would have gone down if he had let Crosby hit him and he was trying to avoid that (while getting to hit Syd also??? mmmmm? ). I might have even hit hm the same way myself, protect myself first. I'm wondering if given their history the refs didn't think there might have been an intent to injure. They sure seemed to talk it over for while. Honestly hope the kid is OK, as he's a blast to watch. But he does have those previous head issues to deal with. Gonna make the playoffs a lot different without him, Sorry Pens fans, best hopes for Syd (and his family). Geno

The Caps simply can't beat Pittsburgh because they just aren't as good. Their only recourse is thug hockey like we saw last night. Taking out the opposition's stud player is their only chance.

I don't think the hit was intentional, just a knee-jerk reflex action in defense of getting hit...they've played together before, no animosity was intended. It's hockey

While I have no doubt some of the hits are retaliatory, I think it's rare they're actually trying to knock them out for multiple games. I played hockey for almost 20 years and yes, I gave a guy a shot or we dropped the gloves, but neither of us were trying to permanently hurt the other.

I played hockey for almost 20 years and yes, I gave a guy a shot or we droooed the gloves, but neither of us were trying to permanently hurt the other. Sounds like a man who knows his hockey. AS bwana said, hit was a reaction to Syd coming in fast and out of control. Nisakanen was just trying to stay in the game. Bet tzone has done the same a few times? I have, just during public skate times. Have a scar on my shin from a toe pick on rental skate from a kid I bounced from the red line to the other end boards, just by putting my hands up like Niskanen did, except I didn't even have a stick at the time. I haven't looked yet. Hope Matty N doesn't come up for supplemental discipline from the league. Let's hope for great games tonight too. Geno

I agree, and watching the hit in slow motion confirmed it was just reactionary...wasn't like "concussion" was on his mind.

The kid has a history of them now right?
It's not like he hasn't taken shots at guys....like the slash in the first round!
I do like this series, but the Caps have always relied on 8 too much. They're a one trick pony. Well, two trick because Holtby is playing really, really well!

Yes Sid has a long history with concussions, anymore bad ones and he'll have to retire from the game permanently...a lot of new research had been done in head trauma, just football alone shows the long term damage...including the greats in boxing.

Bwana, If I had children I'd sure be watching the things they do and keeping an eye on symptoms and making the family doc do the same. I had a few "bumps" in my life, but back then it was just "getting my bell rung", no talk of concussion. Wonder how that's affecting me now? Now, after all the research, there's no excuse. I like the rules the leagues have implemented requiring a trip to the "quiet room" after a head hit and exam by the doc. Silly athletes will try to play through anything. Just look at some of the Sharks as an example. Jumbo with torn ACL and MCL in his knee, Marleau with broken thumb etc. I bet there's some guys playing tonight that should be in an operating room.

Crap, According to Pitt Post-Gazette Crosby and Sheary both are concussed. http://fpowersource.post-gazette.co...ories/201705020137?pgpageversion=pgevokeThat won't be good for the Pens. Too bad, It would have been a better series if they had been able to play all the games. Hopefully they can come back if the Pens get thru. Geno
