from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog, Ducks winger Jean-Francois Jacques could face a hearing with Shanahan after a questionable hit on Columbus forward R.J. Umberger in the third period of a 7-4 victory over the Blue Jackets on Sunday night.
Jacques appeared to go high with an elbow that drew a five-minute major penalty. Umberger called the hit “very dirty” and said “he’ll get another one” when told of Jacques’ suspension to start this season.
“I got a pass and I was in a shooting motion,” Umberger said. “Clearly defenseless. You can’t hit a guy like that right there, especially directly to the head. It’s a clear hit that they’re trying to get rid of in this league.”

When Corey Perry won the Hart Trophy last year as the league's MVP, it wasn't until the second half of the season that he was able to play his way into the discussion and eventually capture the trophy ahead of Daniel Sedin and Martin St. Louis. Both of these players had higher point totals then Perry.

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, ...let’s do some trade stuff. When Bob Murray exploded last week, it was very calculated. He was telling his players, “If you want to stay together, you’d better have a Herculean second half of the season.” And he was telling his fans, “If that doesn’t happen, we know you won’t buy tickets next season. So we’ll change the core.”

With Brendan Shanahan's suspension videos now coming every week, it's interesting to think back to the Colin Campbell days of player discipline. Back then, not only were the videos not made, but most of the time, there wasn't even the punishment. For Example A, you have Marc Savard, the Bruins star whose career was essentially ended by an elbow to the head from Matt Cooke...
