Found February 22, 2013 on Kukla's Korner: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Taylor Hall,  Cal Clutterbuck
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers,  Minnesota Wild
Edmonton-oilers-anaheim
With the Oilers’ record falling, and the short season becoming shorter, there is no room for error. There is especially no room for lengthy suspensions due to atrocious hits. But that’s exactly what we can expect as the reaction from the league to Taylor Hall’s knee on knee hit on Cal Clutterbuck in Edmonton Thurdsay night. Continue reading "Hall Facing Suspension"

Taylor Hall drills Cal Clutterbuck in the knee

Via Diehardsport  |  February 22, 2013
Edmonton Oilers’ Taylor Hall is not known to be a dirty player, he’s only had one major penalty in his career prior to this.  But his hit on Thursday night on Minnesota Wild’s Cal Clutterbuck was extremely dirty.  With 17:27 left in the third period, and the Oilers losing 3-1, Hall threw his knee out and used his hip to drive through Clutterbuck, and Clutterbuck was immediately...

Taylor Hall Takes Ballsy Cheap Shot on Cal Clutterbuck’s Knee

Via Next Impulse Sports  |  February 22, 2013
Edmonton winger Taylor Hall did not appear to having fun during the Oilers’ 3-1 home loss to Minnesota on Thursday, therefore elected to liven things up with a ballsy hit on the Wild’s Cal Clutterbuck. The cheap shot to Clutterbuck’s knee occured with less than three minutes remaining in a two-goal game, immediately drawing a game misconduct and less-than-inviting reactions...

Taylor Hall receives two-game suspension for hit on Clutterbuck

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  February 22, 2013
Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall was suspended two games by the National Hockey League Department of Player Safety Friday afternoon for a kneeing incident that occurred Thursday during the Oilers’ 3-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild.I knew there was going to be a suspension after this hit. Simply, because of the time Cal Clutterbuck takes to get up off of the ice. Right off the...

Oilers' Taylor Hall faces hearing for dirty hit on Clutterbuck

Via Goon's World  |  February 22, 2013
Let’s see if the league has two sets of rules again, one set of rules for super stars and one set of rules for goons and third and fourth line players. Taylor Hall might be a super star, but if a star starts racking up questionable and dirty hits, his actions will start catching up with him. Hall is also starting to develop a history with the Wild players as he also was also...

Richard Cloutier: Hall Suspension a Great Idea

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 24, 2013
The Oilers are NOT the worst team in the NHL. Well, not with respect to the amount of talent they possess. The problem in Edmonton is not a lack of talent. So what is the problem? Why does a team that perhaps possesses a Top 10 in the NHL talent-level continue to play like a last-place team? Blame whoever you want. I blame Taylor Hall. You heard me. It's all Taylor...

Sam Gagner’s slick backhand toe-drag beats Mike Smith in shootout

Via Diehardsport  |  February 23, 2013
Edmonton Oilers forward Sam Gagner has always been known for his slick hands and his awesome shootout moves.  On Saturday afternoon in a shootout with the Phoenix Coyotes he did not disappoint.  Coyotes goalie Mike Smith had absolutely no chance on making the save.  Smith bit incredibly hard on the fantastic backhand toe-drag that Gagner pulled on him, and Gagner easily tucked...

Taylor Hall Lays Leg Check on Cal Clutterbuck, Receives Game Misconduct (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  February 22, 2013
When former No. 1 overall pick Taylor Hall makes headlines, it’s usually for a nifty goal, a dandy set-up or any other offensive play that comes with a flashy adjective. On Thursday night, however, he caught the hockey world’s attention for one of the most gruesome acts in the sport. With under three minutes to go in the Wild-Oilers game, Hall caught Cal Clutterbuck drifting...

Hall suspended for 'reckless' hit on Clutterbuck

Via Fox Sports North  |  February 22, 2013
Minnesota Wild forward Cal Clutterbuck has seemingly avoided a major injury after taking a lethal knee-on-knee hit from Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall Thursday night, but Hall won't be avoiding suspension. The NHL announced a two-game ban for Hall, the first of his young career, after a vicious hit on Clutterbuck in Thursday's 3-1 Minnesota win in Edmonton. Hall, who...

Coyotes can't hold lead in SO loss to Oilers

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  February 23, 2013
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- The Edmonton Oilers were already facing a difficult road trip. They certainly didn't want to carry a losing streak along with them. Jordan Eberle scored in regulation and in the shootout as the Oilers snapped a two-game slide with a 3-2 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday. Sam Gagner also scored in the shootout and Teemu Hartikainen had the other...

Oilers' Hall suspended two games for kneeing

Via Goon's World  |  February 22, 2013
Personally, I would have like to have seen Hall suspended for three or four games. Oh well. Justice has been served. I also don't believe the logic that you can't hit someone in the open ice, going forward. Just don't lead with your knee. In my opinion, this was a deliberate attempt by Hall to hurt Cal Clutterbuck. Clutterbuck didn't even touch the puck, go back...

Taylor Hall takes out Cal Clutterbuck’s knee with dirty hit (Video)

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  February 22, 2013
Edmonton Oilers winger Taylor Hall threw a vicious hit on Cal Clutterbuck of the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night. Hall is awaiting a disciplinary hearing with NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan on Friday afternoon, but there has been no shortage of cries for the 21-year-old to be suspended from those who watched the play live or have seen the replay. The puck...

Taylor Hal cheap shot on Cal Clutterbuck

Via Goon's World  |  February 22, 2013
First off, this is a text book knee-on-knee hit, it's a bush league hit, it's dirty and it deserves a suspension. I do not care that Taylor Hall is a super star. I also, find it hilarious that Edmonton Oilers fans are defending this hit on twitter tonight. Second; would the NHL referees, please stop rescuing the players that do hits on the ice. Let the players have some...
