Do we know if the league is going to look at the Doan hit?

Why is a hit into the boards to “an unsuspecting player in a vulnerable position” fom the back subject to all manner of discipline, but a player hit in the same manner from the front is not? Explain that to me.

Yep….MAF in….Letang I would presume out.
I hate to mention how much better that PP looked …it feels disrespectful to a great player we need down the stretch. Just not as a PP QB.
But I would not doubt if is out w concussion for awhile.

Also interested in poss suspension for Comeau or Doan….

The NHL loosened the restrictions on the “kicking motion” at the beginning of the year:

The GMs are not ready to move beyond the discussion phase on something like reviewing goals scored on potential goalie-interference plays, but the League is expanding the video review process for the 2014-15 season to allow the Hockey Operations Department more leniency in calling for what are defined as “good hockey goals.”

As an example, there now will be a broader discretion for allowing kicked-in goals. If the puck goes in the net from a kicking motion but it’s not clear if it was intentionally kicked in or accidentally kicked in, Hockey Operations will lean toward it being a good goal.

Sounds like that’s what they leaned towards on the Crosby goal, based on the Situation Room blog:

At 11:24 of the third period in the Coyotes/Penguins game, video review supported the referee’s call on the ice that the puck deflected off of Sidney Crosby’s skate and into the Arizona net in a legal fashion. According to Rule 49.2 “A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player’s skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal.” Good goal Pittsburgh.

Penguins tied with the Islanders for 2nd with a game in hand, almost like they aren’t the only team playing poorly.
