Deebo said:Dreger says that the Lupul hit will likely result in a hearing. I could see it going either way but hopefully his lack of a history will save him.
Boston Leaf said:I agree he should be suspended. Absolutely no need for that type of hit to head.. With our curse against Boston he will probably get two and it will be the two against Boston
Stickytape said:No elbow, he doesn't leave his feet, and it seems careless, not intentional. His history is clean, and for what it's worth Hedman didn't seem too badly hurt. (Plus his name is Hedman, you'd think he'd have a pretty hard head. No? Too soon?)
Doesn't feel like a suspension to me, but if they gave him a game I wouldn't be shocked.

It was a direct hit to the head(the elbow part doesn't matter) of a vulnerable player. It even appears that Lupul targetted the head. Also, Hedman not being hurt should have little to nothing to do with it. That being said, he may not of appeared hurt last night, but who knows what kind of symptoms he wakes up with this morning.
As much as I'd like to defend the hit, if there's no suspension, the league needs to give it's collective head a shake.

A player being hurt definitely factors into their suspension decision even if they say it doesn't.

Shanahan mentions it in suspension videos on a regular basis.

louisstamos said:Yeah, more than likely gets a game. 2 max.
Britishbulldog said:Removing the fact that he is one of my favorite Leafs and just watching the play as a neutral observer I would hope that it gets 1 game as it is the dangerous style of hits that the league needs to remove. The puck carrier was vulnerable and unsuspecting to boot.
Let Lupul play against Boston though.
