(Video) Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk blows up Andrew Shaw
Talk about a violent hit as St. Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk blows up Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw with a good clean hit. There was no penalty on the hit, nor should there have been. The game during the first period was a very physical and hard hitting game.

NHL has turtled in fight against head shots?

ED WILLES, POSTMEDIA NEWS --- That's bad enough. But it seems there's been at least one vicious head shot in every frickin' game since the Weber incident: the Rangers' Carl Hagelin's hit on Daniel Alfredsson, Chris Phillips' hit on Ryan Callahan, the Sharks' T.J. Galiardi's hit on the Blues' Andy McDonald, the Blues' Vladimir Sobotka's sucker punch on the Sharks' Dominic Moore. And that's just for starters.
The resulting spit storm has been a nightmare for the NHL. This is the one time of the year when the focus of the North American sports media is on hockey but the focus isn't on the game. Instead, the spotlight is on a sport that appears to be almost criminally violent.
The league actually allowed itself to believe it was getting in front of the head-shot issue, but when given the chance to demonstrate just how seriously they're taking it, they turtled.
Oshie shows off his offensive moves
Wow! This was one of "the" highlights from last night play in the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Check out the unbelievable moves by former Fighting Sioux forwawd T.J. Oshie as he assisted on a goal by former MSU Maverick David Backes. The Blues beat the Sharks 3-0 to even their series 1-1.
