Flyers tweeted the suspension before the Shanny video was posted, pretty funny.

Well the Penguins being discussed in this thread aren't playing now are they so I don't think it really matters.

Shanahan has never been known to follow any sort of precedent, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he got suspended, and he definitely deserved it.

what a joke this league is. flyer fans are pissed because neal threw 2 elbows to the head in 1 shift and malkin gets away with throwing about 5 cheapshots in the series. what a joke this league has become. Pens fans crying over something in a flyers thread what else is new.

i hope rinaldo or sestito play and just start boarding everybody.

yeah theres been plenty of them - mainly because the refs missed it. They made a call on this one, and deemed it worthy of 2 minutes... call a match penalty then if its a serious hit.

This hit wasnt the same as neal on giroux - why does everyone keep saying that, neals was a charge to the head open ice - pretty sure giroux took zubrus out with a shoulder along the boards sideways , didnt leave his feet or anything. How does girouxs shoulder reach zubrus the oak tree's head anyway

See the Ovechkin hit on Girard? Left his feet, dead on head shot. Not even a hearing. Shanahan is a complete moron

Oveckins Hit on Girardi NY Rangers vs Washington...

I think most flyers fans wanted Neal to not be suspended so the flyers could run him all game, but that did not happen. the flyers are playing with no heart so it doesnt matter anyway. This is a very frustrating series.

They need someone to be physical, a presence in front of the net, and an overall dose of emotion added to their game. Tom Sestito brings that - his brother brought it last game for the Devils.

Granted, I don't want Giroux suspended (Shanny,take Jagr instead), but this team could benefit from a lineup change at this point.
