Anton Lander of the Edmonton Oilers got rocked by Steve Ott of the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
It was hard, fast, and a blind-sided hit. It even caused a ruckus between the two teams. And Oilers coach Tom Reeney says the hit to his player warrants a Shanaban.
Here’s what happened via the Score:
Ott received a two-minute penalty for the hit, and five for the fight.
Renney simply said after the game, “He should be getting a rest,” according to the Edmonton Journal.
The Score blog suspects there will be a hearing, but maybe not a suspension.
Ott may be a little rough around the edges as a gritty player, but this hit may be more open to discussion than those past if this one makes it to Brendan Shanahan’s desk.
Thoughts? Does Ott deserve “a rest”? Does Renney reserve the right to speak out against Ott?
