Yeah, when he had the puck in the center of the ice and didn't clear it, you knew disaster was lurking.

Yeah that was strange, all he had to do was give it a little flip. Alot of errors in those last 4 min.

Apparently Hansen has a review with the NHL at 3pm eastern today. I dont see how you can argue he was doing anything other than trying to knock Hossa off the puck with a forearm to the head.

 

 

Of course, the Canucks dont see it that way

 

Hansen called the hit "a hockey play" and said he and Hossa "ran into each other."

 

"I think I kind of grazed on the back of his shoulders, and then he goes down," Hansen said. "I don't see what happens afterward because the play continues a little bit. First when I'm looking back, I see that he's down. Not quite sure what's going on."

 

Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said Hansen didn't do anything illegal on the play.

 

"It wasn't even a penalty," Vigneault said. "Both referees looked at the play. Until Toews went out to talk to them, it wasn't even a penalty."

 

Vigneault doesn't believe Hansen will be punished for the hit.

 

"Not a chance, not a chance," Vigneault said. "He was trying to grab a puck in the air. It's unfortunate if the young man is hurt. [Hansen] was trying to jump to get the puck. Stuff happens."

I happened to catch part of his interview after the game, and he used the phrase "hockey play" like 3 times in a minute. Total bulls***. So he was trying to catch the puck with his elbow/forearm?

He was apparently going to grab the puck, through Hossa, with his elbow.

ESPN Chicago@ESPNChiHawks Hossa is on the ice and fully participating in practice.

Crawford, too.

Crawford is out here, too. Don't see Emery, though. Karlsson is the second goaltender.
