Dallas Stars Daily Links: Why The Dallas Stars Miss A Healthy Brenden Morrow

It feels like I've been writing about Brenden Morrow a lot in this spot, especially relative to his production this season, but I finally figured out why Monday afternoon. Daryl Reaugh pondered the effect the Dallas Stars captain's absence has had on the lineup this season, and he hit on something...

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Offensive Woes Mean Fraser May Get His Shot

Three weeks ago, it was pretty certain that Matt Fraser would spend the entire season with the Texas Stars. Boy how times have changed. Fraser's strength as a power-play specialist and top-six scoring winger limit the role the Dallas Stars really want to use him in up with the big club, and when...

Question of the Week: The Story of 2011

The clock struck midnight, the calendar turned, and we finally put 2011 to bed. In many ways, 2011 was one of the most trying hockey years I've ever experienced, so I was a bit glad to see it go. Because, essentially, lots of bad stuff happened in the 365 days between January 1, 2011 and Saturday,...

Torres Fined, No Suspension for Hit on Hejda

As MHH Member Bill Stone first brought to our attention, Phoenix fan-favorite Raffi Torres was fined the CBA maximum of $2,500 for his hit to the head of Colorado defenseman Jan Hejda in Thursday night's game in Denver. Unlike the videos that are published regarding suspensions, there hasn't been...

Andy Sutton, An Independent Appeal Process, And Why It Probably Won't Happen

Having been suspended twice already this season, punishments that will cost him almost 12 per cent of his $2,250,000 salary, I think it's safe to say that Andy Sutton isn't the biggest fan of the job Brendan Shanahan is doing as the head of NHL discipline. In Joanne Ireland's article in the...

Andy Sutton Suspended 8 Games For Hit On Alexei Ponikarovsky

Brendan Shanahan's decision has come down - Andy Sutton will sit for eight games as a result of his hit on Alexei Ponikarovsky - a play where the 6'4" Sutton left his feet to hit Ponikarovsky in the head. 8 games is in line with what was expected for this type of infraction and Sutton's status. ...

Andy Sutton Will Likely Face Lengthy Suspension For Hit On Alexei Ponikarovsky

Andy Sutton will likely face the Shanahammer once again after his hit on Alexei Ponikarovsky Wednesday night at Rexall. There's no doubt about the intent of this hit. The 6'6" Sutton left his feet to make the hit and aimed directly for Ponikarovsky's head. Sutton was whistled for a two-minute...

Jordin Tootoo suspended 2 games for Ryan Miller hit

The NHL has today suspended Nashville Predators winger Jordin Tootoo two games, following his collision with Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller during the second period of last night's 3-2 loss at Bridgestone Arena. This is Tootoo's first suspension since March of 2007, when he received a 5-gamer...

The Five for Howling Roundtable: Shanahan, Realignment, & Ownership

Greetings Phoenix Coyotes fans. This week the Five for Howling staff answers questions about Brendan Shanahan's performance as discipline czar, NHL realignment, as well as the ongoing drama known as "La propriété des Coyotes". <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> 12.00...

When the policemen fail to do the policing

"The reality of the matter is, Daniel Alfredsson is not in the lineup. So talk about reputation, talk about whatever you want to talk about, we don't have our captain," Konopka said. "That's killing us ... That's a tough pill for us to swallow. [...] "If I was on the ice, there would have been...
