So best guesses on Leo's vacation? I say 5 games.

It's a phone hearing, so 5 games will be the max. I was scanning through some of the DOPS videos from this season and the Radko Gudas suspension from December seemed pretty similar: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=890453&lang=en

No suspension history, head was the main point of contact with an elbow/forearm, player hit was in a slightly crouched position. Gudas got 3 games, and that was my original guess for Komarov too so I'll stick with that.

edit: With that added point that I'd be completely fine with those hits getting more games. Those aren't attempts at full-body checks gone wrong, those were both clear hits that hit the head and only the head.

I'm also going to say 3 games. No suspension history, similar hits got around that, phone hearing, etc.

Did Babcock put the blame of that loss solely on the Rielly's shoulders because of his turnover? Guessing not.

Nah. He said Reimer was "just okay."

Supposedly says Komarov is fbombing retarded.
