Somebody has to do the scoring around here.
Buff should have got 5 for that boarding of an unsuspecting player... especially since it was not during play.

that would be a bad but understandable defense for marchment/simon/samuelsson/etc but in the case of downie he actually attacked his own teammates several times in his career, in a way that should rightfully get you blackballed from the league.

his past is checkered for sure. He really has behaved himself this year though and been everything the Pens could have hoped for. When he keeps his head on straight he's not a bad player. He has actual puck skills for his role and he'll stick up for his teammates all the time. If you run a player, he'll take your number and give you poo poo all game for it.

Hopefully he won't relapse to the insanity he's shown with other teams.

downie is a really good player, but hes been on the penguins for what 12 games now, and hes almost certainly the worst teammate of all time, including even dany heatley, a man who killed his own teammate.

That's good news! Local EMS protocol around here though says that if someone is backboarded you CANNOT take them off, especially if they suspect a cervical fracture.

Just tweaked his neck is what it looks like. Wouldn't put him back in, but if the medical staff didn't send him straight to the hospital, he's probably gonna be ok.

I dunno I just wouldn't feel comfortable clearing someone with an obvious neck or spine injury without sending them to the hospital.

Dude headbutted a block of ice and wasn't moving for a few minutes. He should at least probably be made to get an x-ray by the team staff.

It depends on the level of the staff at the arena. They had EMS on scene, plus whatever the teams have and the facility the arena has. They can do xrays and stuff back there. I'm sure they didn't take the decision lightly or anything.

I've always wondered what kind of facilities they have back there.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
The Stars are a really ugly team to watch. They get about 45% of the shot attempts / possession and do nothing well, and compound that idiocy by constantly turning over the puck and not even trying on the defensive zone coverage.

The best thing that could happen to this organization is for this season to crash and burn, and we can scrap this model.

Bet you people didn't see this coming when people were calling the Stars the most exciting team in the league in the off-season. I know I wasn't.

**oh and even our loving goaltender Lehtonen is trash this year.

what he's doing now doesn't erase his past but that doesn't mean i can't enjoy him being a (so far) hardnosed dude who sticks up for teammates.

he'll probably inevitably decapitate someone or try to make fleury run naked in public or some poo poo but for now im enjoying his contributions

Man, at least wait until American Thanksgiving. There are very bad timing issues, and some roster issues on defense. This is still getting better.
