No he shouldn’t. I explained the facts about it yesterday and Shanny had all the video at his disposal. As a former RW who knows Zetterberg as a teammate and has played against Weber, he called it the right way.

but back to the Pens, Neal and Asham damn well better get suspensions, if Craig Adams got one for hair pulling! Asham is a criminal IMO for what he did to Schenn and for the Beagle hit a few months back. Neal i think lost control of himself, but isn’t a bad guy. In fact,as they said in that article, having been seen on intl TV pulling another man’s hair might be punishment enough for the cerebral one ; )

What about Franzen spearing Legwand on the bench? Penalty, fine, suspension? Nothing.

The facts about how he slammed a guy’s face into the glass twice?

Look, a Penguin cross checks a guy in the neck, then punches him in the back of the head as he lies on the ice. That’s not defensible.

Neither is slamming a guy’s head into the glass.

Adams got suspended for starting a fight 18 seconds too late, not for hair pulling.

The NFL has the right policy on hair: it’s part of the uniform.

If you don’t want your hair pulled, then get a man’s haircut. Like Seamus Johnston.

As one of our posters said, 'Todd Bertuzzi, destroying people's joy since 2004'.

Sunny and 72, and not likely to get warmer than the high 70’s...

As I trim a bid to the bone
To try and make a few bucks
Deja vu happens on TV again
Reminding me how it all sucks

Carter deux is blabbing about
Solar and such saving the day
Laying on the gloze and pretending
That oil and gas will go away

Get used to the high gas prices-
Just don’t drive so much instead-
Yeah right, Obama Carter wannabe-
I’ll just turn off the TV instead...

I could almost close my eyes and believe I was hearing Carter without the suthrin’ accent-that 30+ year old pig is still a pig no matter how much lipstick you put on it...

It was 82 yesterday — the warmest since last September. Back into the 40s by this morning. You go to sleep with the window open and wake up halfway through the night to close it.

It was 49-50 this morning-I not only had the windows open, but the ceiling fan on, too. When I got up, I just left all as it was and went about my morning chores with a flkeece throw and a cup of coffee-it is now a comfortable 70 here at the computer in the kitchen alcove.
