Ya it is a real shame. He could have played his last game....

Feel for the guy. Best thing that can be done is to shut him down for the year and hope he recovers.

I am wondering what the cap implifications will be if he is forced to retire. He just signed a 4 year deal.

Not with chest padding and while skates are sharp, they arent THAT sharp,
Even if he was naked a kick to the chest would just leave a real nasty cut. Whereas a crosscheck from a jacked giant straight to the neck where there is mo padding? He couldve died or possibly been paralyzed where the kick was very unlikely to do any damage through the padding.

Sharks' Karlsson out for season with broken thumb

saw a good tweet about the kick:

Should have just cross checked him in the neck. Would have saved him $167,000

I wonder if there is a video of it happening. Everything is always on twitter or youtube.

i get what youre saying kinda

im just letting you know a kick with something resembling a knife blade to the chest isnt any less dangerous than a cross check to the neck or head

If he turned his skate blade to make it like a knife he should get what he got. If it was just the bottom part of the blade hittingagainst a guys chest like I think it was then where’s the harm? 2 games max

I think it was 7 games because of code.

How often do you see players kick each other?

It is just something you don't do. I don't mind the suspension because you have to deter kicking.

If Kassian gets a slap on the wrist you set a bad precedent.

I do think he is a bit of a fall guy, but that was just some real dumb shit he pulled so I don't feel bad for him.

went happy gilmore

Kane gets 3 games
