There is absolutely nothing wrong with that hit.

Further confirms my suspicion that Russians are pussies.

The only reason why they gave him 10 min misconduct was to get him out of the game and so they did not have to worry about any more problems.
That was my thought also. He’s had a lot of run-ins with that team, and getting him off the ice was the only way to defuse the situation.

Stereotypes are asinine. Leave that crap to the MSM mediots, please.

those refs who gaved Grabovski misconduct should banned from playoffs

That’s, what, one Leaf fan posting five times?
Grabovski’s asking for a date with Darcy (Tucker). Hopefully the Habs bring back yet another for next year’s playoff run, just to keep the unnecessary crap Mikhail pulls to a minimum.
In other news, Kubina’s third-man-in penalty was strangely absent after he grabbed Laraque from behind during a fight with Hamilton. Anyone noticing that?
Anybody?
Beuller?

Shoulder to sholder hit that sent a guy flying into the boards, why was that penalized? Apparently in the new NHL any time someone gets hurt or hit it is a penalty. Which lead sto another stupid trend, if Grabovski doesn’t get 10 additional minutes he would have been challenged to a fight instead.

Clean hit, shoulder to shoulder its just that Markov spun off him.
The only reason why they gave him 10 min misconduct was to get him out of the game and so they did not have to worry about any more problems.
