    Hey Leron....stick to figure skating!....Hockey is about skating with your head up.....hitting a player who has last touched the puck is legal last time I checked.

    Richards is usually a shoulder to shoulder guy, I do think he was headhunting, a little surprised

    The hit looked cleaner than Buffalo's hit against RJ Umberger a couple years back. Don't get caught with your head down. Suck it up, it's hockey.

“@TBLightning: The Lightning have acquired a 2nd Rd pick in '12 or '13, a 4th Rd pick in '13 and LW Kalinski from PHL for Kubina." - 02/18/2012
 
Kalinski is not on the Phantoms' bus, was a late scratch from tonight's game, and left with his equipment. Waiting for confirmation. - 02/18/2012
 
Word I'm hearing is that Jon Kalinski did not leave with Phantoms tonight. He's off to Norfolk (AHL) which would be that contract. - 02/18/2012
