Tuesday's with Dani: Another night, another debated hit

After last night's game, TSN reports that both Steve Downie and Chris Kunitz will have a disciplinary hearing today by phone. You've got to think that at least one of them will end up with a suspension from what happened last night so we'll update you later today if there are any suspensions to happen from the hearings. For now, here are your links for this week:
