:: View topic - Hjalmarsson hearing with Campbell set for 1pm

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson looks to be facing some extra discipline from the National Hockey League after hitting Buffalo Sabres winger Jason Pominville from behind during the Blackhawks 4-3 win on Monday.

Hjalmarsson is scheduled to have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian, Colin Campbell at 1pm et. The hearing will take place on a conference call.

Hjalmarsson hit Pominville with 5:42 left in the first period. Pominville sustained a concussion and a gash above his eye that required 7-8 stitches. He was diagnosed in the building without going to a hospital.

"Everything happened so fast," Hjalmarsson said after the game. "My intention wasn't to hurt him. You never want to see someone laying on the ice like that."

Hjalmarsson was given a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct on the play.

If I were Hjalmarsson I would pray that I was getting suspended for Saturday's rematch in Chicago. Regardless of his intention, he will be a marked man. Unless our team doesn't look like they care anything happened like they did last night.

He will NOT be a marked man, the sabres will go about playing business as usual with zero thought towards revenge, it's just not in their makeup.

Ok, true..i'd forgotten about that. But anything not IMMEDIATELY after the fact, I think you can forget about redemption. Hell, i'd love to see Kaleta put that guy through the freaking glass (and then grab a shard and jam it in dudes eye...) the next time they play, but i'd also bet money it aint gonna happen.

I don't know. McCormick might be on the lookout for him.

Hm, perhaps...it would be nice if we had a sabre who held a grudge once in a while. I'd like a little payback.

Somebody dropped their equipment and grabbed a Hawk player. But Hjalmarsson was out of the game, so it's not like we could go after him.

Wisniewski got 2 games for pretending to blow Avery. If Hjalmarsson doesn't get more than that........

I'm guessing 1-2 games because he's not a repeat offender.

I agree with 1-2 games. Hit from behind on a guy who hadn't touched the puck....plus he isn't a super star. He'll get something. Then again, this is the Bettman show so who the fuck knows.

it was a reckless blind sighted hit. on a guy who didn't even have the puck. the league made a huge deal about these sort of hits in the end of last season, so i think they might make an example out of it... 4-5 games.

It's not really the same. The league went after blindside and lateral hits to the head. This was not that kind of hit. This was boarding from behind, no direct contact to the head, and it's been suspension worthy forever.

I'd like a little payback. McCormick seems like that type of player. I might be wrong, but he's a tough kid and he gets angry pretty fast. We'll see on Saturday.

That shit is so frustrating, when someone takes a cheap shot like that and the refs immediately remove them from the ice. No payback that night, just a bunch of pissed off guys who cant focus on their game.
