Quick Hits: Game 7

Red Wings News

Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall suspended for Game 7 after hit on Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov | MLive.com
In all honesty, Kronwall hit Kucherov in the head, and in this case he was certainly not unworthy of a suspension. I agree with others this may have not been the correct punishment given some of the Department of Player Safety’s recent cases (i.e. P.K. Subban), and I do wish to see more consistency from the department in the future. But, I really cannot complain against the suspension. If the DoPS wants to punish hits to the head, then Kronwall deserved his suspension.

This has the making of being a very good series. A good Blackhawks team facing off against one of the hottest teams in the league right now. This one is going seven games.

Poile: Preds hoped Franson trade ‘would work out better’ | ProHockeyTalk
The Predators‘ trade for Cody Franson was basically the Wings’ trade for David Legwand but with different circumstances surrounding the deal. Both teams gave up a first-round draft pick and a prospect for a player who never made a real impact.

I legitimately think that the Capitals can beat the Rangers. If there is anyone that can beat Henrik Lundqvist, it is Alex Ovechkin. This will be an interesting series to watch.
