So it 5 days into the NHL playoffs and the violence on the ice taken control of the playoffs instead of the talented players making talented plays and some series are about to end in four straight in Vancouver and in Pittsburgh are heading to golf club. It started with Shea Weber getting 25,000 dollars fine for pounding Henrik Zetterberg head into the glass and it was bad and Zetterberg helmet was broken in three different places and should of been suspended and Byron Bitz suspended for two games while Carl Hagelin got suspended for three games for getting his elbow high and contacted with Daniel Alfredsson's head and the Rangers do not care about the suspension if Daniel is out for a game or two as that will give them an advantage. Matt Carkner got suspended for a game after going after Brain Boyle who had attacked the Sens Erik Karlsson and if there was stiffer penalties on the ice than the Matt Carkner Innocent does take play.
Lets think about it would the Blackhawks take back Duncan Keith's hit on Daniel Sedin and the 5 game suspension with Daniel Sedin has missed the first three games of the Vancouver/LA series and LA is up 3-0 and is likely to not be playing in game 4 and the Duncan Keith almost signal handily taken the Canucks out of the playoffs. I really think that the Duncan Keith did it on purpose and would not take it back because it helps the Hawks go further in the playoffs as they do not have to play the Canucks.
The NHL need backup for the Flyers/Penguins game 4 because if it gets out of hand something may go horribly wrong and something bad could happen as James Neal had bulleyes on him and got a guy going after his knee and then goes after Claude Giroux and it is not a good thing happening.
The NHL needs to be tougher and take the punishment out of the players hands and give players longer suspension no matter who the player is
