Doan's hit last night was clean, the guy turned intentionally and put himself in that vulnerable position, but Hanzal is probably looking at 2-3 games for the hit on Brown, I think Brown also kind of made himself vulnerable but Hanzal had time to avoid it but hit him anyways.

I agree Doan's check on Lewis was okay in terms of it does not deserve a suspension, but the penalty was reasonable. Lewis actually looked like he was acting to me and staying on the ice trying to look injured to draw the penalty.

 

Hanzel's hit seemed more malicious and did possibly break Brown's  nose. though I do know this reminds me of hockey on the 90s so I would hardly complain just because the NHL is trying to play it safe. This was how the game has been historically played rough and tough and I like it.

Smith deserves a two game suspension for slashing.

Hahaha yeah it was a pretty healthy slash by Smith, wasn't it? But I do kinda agree with Brown getting 2 for diving on it, I mean yeah it was a big slash, but Brown went down in a heap like he just got shot in the back by a sniper. 

And yeah Hanzal has been amazing these playoffs and he isn't the type of player to hit someone like he did on Brown, I'd like to know why the hell he did that.
