Steve9347 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) Gotcha. It just sucks that there are so many factors going against Keith in this one. Add all them up and it just doesn't bode well here. Whatever. Oduya, sadly, is the key in our system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Duncan Keith has been given a five-game suspension for elbowing Vancouver's Daniel Sedin in the head. Keith might have gotten a harsher suspension if he was a repeat offender, but this is his first suspension in his nearly seven season long NHL career. Chicago has only seven games left in the regular season. Keith will be eligible to return on April 5th. Rotoworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 5 games for Keith. Probably fair. Shanahan said the retaliatory aspect of the hit nullified the fact that he is not a repeat offender, called it "reckless". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Not great timing to lose him for 5 games either, considering we have NSH twice next week. Earlier reports also said that Montador is close to returning. Here's the original hit, which Shanahan didn't mention or show at all, that prompted Keith's hit: http://youtu.be/22wQYhn1bhA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I'd have to call the suspension fair, although if Sedin magically comes back from his concussion in a week, the NHL needs to check out the Canucks in case they were embellishing the injury.

southsider2k5 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 http://www.csnchicago.com/hockey-chicago-b...tm_medium=email Positive steps for several injured Blackhawks TRACEY MYERS Jonathan Toews skated for the sixth consecutive day today, and coach Joel Quenneville said the Blackhawks captain had another good outing on the ice. “Those guys all had a good skate,” coach Joel Quenneville said, referring to Toews, Marcus Kruger (upper body) and Steve Montador (concussion). “Everyone was feeling all right.” As far as when Toews would be cleared for contact, Quenenville said, “we haven’t discussed that yet. He’ll tell us when that time is close and hopefully it’s soon.” Montador has already been cleared for contact. Quenneville said “we’ll get him some more contact this week… we’ll see how he progresses and get him there at some point.” Sami Lepisto (left leg) also skated some this morning. Quenneville said Lepisto had tried skating before but he had “his first real spin” today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Great to see Toews is close to returning. I say run him in practice as much as possible but don't bring him back until the playoffs start. Sucks about Montador. How many setbacks has this team had this year? Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hawks getting a bit too close to the 4/5 hole. Both Nash and Det have 5 games left, Hawks 4. Hawks 1 point behind Nash, 2 behind Det.
