I like letting them play with hard hitting action but these a dangerous/career ending plays need to be called.

I think the fat lady is getting warming up.

Oh! and Barnaby, I do like Cam but I think he needs to work on his stick side this off season. definitely agree on the lack of support by his "D"

Wasn't able to see the game, so I can't comment on any elbow hit... all I can say is, Cole doesn't have the reputation for that, and he has been in the league a while. Also, putting a career-ender on the brother of a close friend and teammate???

No way to spin the butt-kickin' the Penguins have put on the Carolina boys. We will see what the the Hurricanes are made of Tuesday night.
