TEAMS: Chicago Blackhawks, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators
Brendan Shanahan had a busy regular season, but he could be in line for a busier postseason.

Andrew Shaw ejected for decleating Coyotes goalie Mike Smith
The Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw was ejected from last night's game for hitting Coyotes goalie Mike Smith. Depending on what angle you watch this collision from, it does appear that Shaw caught Smith with an elbow in the head. I think that Shaw could have avoided this collision and this was an unnecessary hit on the goalie who was playing the puck.
There are other hockey...

Follow me @jaeckel
So the decision on Andrew Shaw's supplemental discipline for a collision with Phoenix goalie Mike Smith has been delayed until this morning, and Smith missed practice yesterday, perhaps with some lingering effects from the hit.
Hmmm.
Well, some might read into this that Shaw will be suspended if it is in fact determined that Smith is injured and misses...

Asham has a face-to-face with the discipline man for catching Brayden Schenn with a nice little cross check to the chest after Schenn railroaded Paul Martin, and Neal...
Andrew Shaw Ejected After Taking Out Mike Smith
In Game 2 of the Phoenix Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks playoff series, Andrew Shaw received a game misconduct after colliding with Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith. Smith stayed down on the ice for a while, seemingly in pain, but eventually decided to stay in the game, despite his concussion history. I’m having trouble deciding whether or not Smith deserves an Academy Award for...
