Dallas Stars Daily Links: Benn Not Ruled Out Of All-Star Game Just Yet
The Dallas Stars are definitely in the middle of a "take good news where you can get it" stretch after learning that Jamie Benn will be out at least 10 days recovering from an appendectomy. So the news that the Stars have not ruled Benn out of the All-Star game, at least not yet, can be taken as a...
Lennart Petrell Hits Marek Zidlicky, Shanahammer Says?
If illegal hits and league suspensions are a sign of team toughness (they aren't) then the Edmonton Oilers are well on their way to becoming a tough team. Two weeks after Andy Sutton became the first repeat offender to play nail to the Shanahammer, Lennart Petrell shoved Marek Zidlicky headfirst...

Shanahan's Implicit Message: Become a Better Hitter
Now I don't expect Brendan Shanahan to say this; he has a history of being a pretty hard-nosed player himself, so I suspect any allusions he might make to not targeting the head or not hitting high would be viewed as hypocritical. Regardless, there was a key moment in his statement regarding the...
Brendan Shanahan Releases Video Explaining Suspension of Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond
In his first decision as NHL Senior Vice President of Player Safety, Brendan Shanahan suspended Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond of the Calgary Flames for five games because of an illegal hit delivered to Vancouver Canucks forward Matt Clackson in last night's preseason meeting between the two...
Scott Nichol Suspended Four Games for Elbow on David Schlemko
While watching the Coyotes game live yesterday there really wasn't much indication of anything on this hit that occurred halfway through the third period. The broadcast team did catch it after sometime though and while video has yet to appear online, the hit that Scott Nichol put on David Schlemko...
