He ran him without the puck and concussed him. He definitely deserves a suspension.

Noxo: McNabb hit on Poehling was a cheap shot that could affect the series.

The puck was gone and it could have been viewed as charging, regardless of where the shoulder was. I'd like to stuff a dirty sock in Tortorella's mouth.

It was late, no question. But I don’t see the loss of Poehling being huge. He is a role

Player. Yes, he has had a nice playoffs with 4 goals but he’s not Gauthier, Carlsson or McTavish. The hit will come with a fine. Not sure if it’s suspension worthy. Of course Torts is going to stick up for his player. I would be disappointed if he didn’t.

This has been one of the chippier playoffs in a few years. Lots of hard gloved punches being thrown and landed. Im all for a good face wash during a scrum but closed hand glove punch is a pussy move.
