Dr. Hockey Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Couldn't find a thread on this yet. (Using my iPhone though) Any word on further discipline (actually any) on his elbow during the Kings-Minny game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Don't worry, he's having hearing. Farhan Lalji just tweeted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannik freaking hansen Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2013/04/24/court-of-public-opinion-dustin-brown-gordie-howed-jason-pominville/ Brown will indeed have a hearing today. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/dustin-brown-takes-jason-pominville-shanaban-coming-video-071955779--nhl.html The Puck Daddy article for those interested. Looks to me like Brown waits a little for Pominville to get within the motion of his elbow in order to coldclock him. Sneaky and dirty in my opinion.

zombieksa Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 2 games, enough for a quick breather before the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRem Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I had to sign in for this. What a dirty piece of sh!t. Both of those hits (vs Roussel and thios one vs Pominville) are perfect examples of what this joker pulls all the time. That this is the first hearing is truly amazing. Ugh, this leagues discipline and officiating are such piles of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Boggles the frack out of me how Brown didn't sit any games for that hit on Roussel. Clearly the point of contact is the head, and it's blind-side. The frack? What you doin' Shanny? The hit on Pominville is a ???? elbow, no doubt about it. This league's discipline is a joke.

Henrik Kesler Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Should be a 5er, but in reality he won't even get fined. League discipline has no consistency or standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Anyone remember when one of the Sedins got ran at in the Chicago game? If he hadnt ducked, that hit would of went straight to his head and leveled him. Surprised nobody brought that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 He'll get a rest before playoffs at the most. Back to back games he made a dirty hit.He does it a lot more than people realize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 He knew exactly what he was doing there. I hate how some guys who throw big hits (Brown, Phaneuf, Clutterbuck) can be such pussies when it comes to having to actually take a hit. I remember Phaneuf running around the ice like a headless chicken any time he got bumped by a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a Fool Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sneaky little elbow. I think it definitely deserves something - it's a headshot straight up. However, I doubt Shanaban is feeling the pressure on this one. They didn't even have a video of the incident on the NHL.com article about it. Can't let the Kings look bad I guess. He'll get a 2 game wrist-slapper at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 tried to reverse hit like edler does, but he "forgot" to keep his elbow tucked that is a pretty wicked headshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
131313 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've seen Brown do at least half a dozen worse elbows without getting suspended and I don't watch the Kings much. Sure its a dirty hit and completely intentional but I can't see why they would pick that one to suspend. Someone should put together a highlight video of dirty hits by Dustin Brown this season, it would probably run 8 to 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a Fool Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Should of been a suspension if the NHL would discipline the act and not the aftermath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Commentary people in that vid are retarded. Cold shoulder, cold shoulder, I think he hits him with his shoulder... It shows like ten times his elbow connecting with the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAce Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Colin Campbell - " was this hit against a Vancouver Canuck player ? " Shanny - " nope" Colin Campbell - " ok, lets give the guy a suspension" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Meh. Players still need to play smart and avoid putting themselves in bad positions and Pominville practically ran his own face into that. I only have an issue if the striking player elevates his elbow to head level or hits someone already down. Stretching out and and lowerering your head is risky and always puts the head in line to get hit first. What Brown did happens probably every game but players typically take the body and then go for the puck instead of sprawing forward in as they barrell into the player with the puck.
