I thought it was hilarious, personally. Not Eller's injury, that looked painful and to me it's a good suspension.

I definitely don't agree with the suspension, as it confirms the NHL suspends for the injury, not the intent.

I also didn't think it was suspension worthy but considering how the league has ruled on hits in recent times, I figured they would hand down (at most) one game just to squash any possible redemption in the following game(s). To me, it was a hockey play that went wrong at the worst possible time but Paul MacLean's comments showed such a lack of compassion.. I mean, sure he plays for the other team but you never want to see a player carted off the ice like that, regardless of the sweater he wears.

And the Ottawa Sun headlining with, "Sens draw first blood" was just fucking classless.

It's the Ottawa Sun. You expected class?
