Nothing going on here, just a spear to the face:

Clearly dangerous and vicious. A suspension should follow. Nyquist's reckless high stick could have taken Spurgeon's eye out. That partially-covered facial helmet probably helped to prevent further damage.

In person hearing. Looking like a lengthy suspension.

Nice to see the refs get a boost from a fight for once. ;D
Hmmmm, any idea where it might have gone guys?

Per Icehockey Wikia:
"Most three-or-more goal games, one season: Wayne Gretzky, 10 (1981?82 and again in 1983?84)"
Anyone know what the record is for rookies?

Selanne had 5 in his rookie year, but I'm not sure if that is a record.

Thanks. As much as I want to see Auston win the Calder this year, I couldn't be too upset if Laine got it instead.Coco-puffs said:

Corey Hirsch, and a really compelling read about his battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder:
http://www.theplayerstribune.com/corey-hirsch-dark-dark-dark/
It?s the summer of 1994, I am standing at the edge of a cliff in Kamloops, British Columbia, and I am checking out.
In February, as a 21-year-old starting goalie, I?d backstopped Canada to an Olympic silver medal. In June, as the third goalie for the New York Rangers, I?d drunk out of the Stanley Cup. I have a girlfriend at home. I have a turbo sports car parked behind me. I have the horizon in front of me ? so much horizon ? and as I look out past the end of it, I am completely calm.
I?m going to see how fast this sports car can go ? and drive it right off this cliff.
And then, finally, I?ll be at peace. My thoughts will be gone.
I get in my car and back up a mile and a half so I can get some speed. I?ve been down these roads hundreds of times, while playing junior hockey for the Kamloops Blazers. All I ever wanted to be, ever since I was a little kid, was a goalie. Ever since I saw Gerry Cheevers in that iconic fiberglass mask ? you know the one, with the black stitches painted all over it ? I just knew. That?s it. I want to be the guy behind that mask. I want to play in the NHL.
Now I?m 22 years old, and I?ve made it to the NHL. I have my whole life ahead of me.
And none of it matters.

POS' heel turn over the past year or so has been a real treat to watch.
Like when he first started using twitter he was easily one of the best hockey-guys on it. Looked like he was really going to carve out an interesting post-hockey career in broadcasting or media. Second he gets a TSN gig, turns into a complete tool.
