Tootoo gets 2

Jordin Tootoo was suspended two games for running Ryan Miller


My take: That's about right given Tootoo's lengthy rap sheet and the fact that the NHL GMs told Shanahan to do more to protect goaltenders after he didn't suspend Milan Lucic for hitting Miller. It will be interesting to see how other incidents like this one are handled in the future. As a goalie, I hope more is done to reduce the number of times that a goalie gets run by a forward trying to drive the net.

NHL realignment sees the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning join the Northeast Division in Conference C


My take: I hope that they break out some good names of legendary players. But, I wish these were 4 divisions that are a part of 2 conferences like back in the day. I do like the return of the playoffs going through your "conference" rivals. The old days of the Adams Division rivalries were fueled by playoff clashes. And more trips to sunny FLA are nice for the team....
