commentary...

sometimes.NHL players run over the goaltender by accident... That i can accept,but what Erik Haula,of the Minnesota Wild,did to Kari Lehtonen,of the Dallas Stars was almost criminal... sweeping toward the goal,Haula did not make any attempt to avoid Kari Lehtonen... he hit Lehtonen in the chest,knocking the helmet off,and Lehtonen's head hit the steel crossbar(back of his head and neck)... he received a five minute major penalty,and a game misconduct(i believe)... he should receive an in-person hearing from the NHL Department of Player Safety,which means a lengthy suspension... Lehtonen "was not doing too good",according to his coach,Lindy Ruff... i suspect that he may be out for the rest of the season,with a major concussion...
