rown, who amazingly has never been suspended, does this time and time again and somehow gets away with it. I was told today by a league source that he came “very close” to getting suspended for what I thought was a very dirty elbow on Dallas’ Antoine Roussel two nights ago.

We’ll see if he gets away this one. He didn’t brace himself. He swung his elbow sneakily into Pominville’s face, and even though Yeo didn’t provide a report postgame with the dreaded “C” word, it sure looked like it. Frankly, and maybe one reason why Yeo was restrained after the game, the Wild probably doesn’t want L.A.’s captain suspended. The Kings play in Detroit on Wednesday.

 
 
Surprised he wasn't suspended for this hit:

It's weird. The cam at the other end makes it look a bit more intentional, but that close up, to me, doesn't. I say 3 or under.

 

[Steez]

I think he definitely leaned into it. Especially from the second angle, like Guid said. I'm a big fan of both guys ... if it was intentional I'm surprised Brown would do that type of shit.
 
How's Pommers? He got a concussion?
 
Also, really shocked at how the Wild just continued play ... nobody went after Dustin? What the fuck?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

The hit on Roussel definitely should have been a suspension. Lupul had a weaker hit, and got two.
 
The hit on Pominville should never had occurred because Brown should have been spectating the game to be with.
