NHL hockey: Michael Grabner hit on Nathan Gerbe



There could be another suspension coming, very shortly. New York Islanders forward Michael Grabner has a hearing on Monday with the department of player safety for this hit on Carolina Panthers forward Nathan Gerbe. My question, at what point to the players start realizing that you can not make these types of hits anymore. I think this is a violation of the NHL's Rule 48. In my opinion, this is an illegal check to the head. What do you think?

College Hockey Sunday Evening Links

For those keeping track at home, there were two NCHC series this weekend, and both of these series ended in a series split. I believe it’s a preview of things to come. This league is going to be a head knocker, and there will be no easy wins in the NCHC. Every game is going to be a war. A team can’t take a night off and expect to win the league championship. I know it sounds cliché, but it’s the truth.

In case you forgot, last season, four of the eight teams in the NCHC made the NCAA playoffs. Half of the league went to the NCAA tourney and the other half that didn’t make the NCAA tourney, could be in contention to make the tourney this season.  One of the teams (Saint Cloud State University) made the Frozen Four, losing to the eventual runner-up Quinnipiac University.

(Video) Miami University: Blake Coleman 5-Minute Checking from Behind Penalty



For the most part, I thought the officiating in this weekends series between Miami and North Dakota was pretty good. However, this is a bad call, there's no way around it. Okay, I know what the league is trying to do, they're trying to protect the players on the ice, but I don't think that this is worthy of a five-minute major penalty. Thoughts?

NCHC Hockey: North Dakota versus Miami goals (Video)


Last night, the University of North Dakota won the first ever NCHC game against Miami University. Here's the video of the goals scored by UND and Miami.

Programming Note: When the games are on the CBSSN, NBCSN, Root Sports or NESN I will put videos up. As I mentioned before, I don't have *Midco Sports Network. So far this season, I will be able to put up highlight videos for 9 games we will see if anything changes in the future.

Here's the box score form last night's game.

*To my pathetic, moronic, stalker take a minute to inform yourself there is a Midco Sports Network.
