It’s strange how the term “unfit to play” is what teams are using when someone is out. Seems so ominous. Georgiev was in the stands last night and was “unfit to play”. Assuming that means some kind of muscle pull in this instance because he isn’t quarantined. Hoping for a similar situation with Tuukka. *edit- Shesterkin
Flyers 4-1. Good win by Philly and the Bruins played pretty well. I’m alright with that game. Crucial to get Tuukka back in to see some pucks before the real playoffs start for Boston.
We have our first potential suspension of the NHL playoffs, as the Department of Player Safety has announcedDrake Caggiula of the Chicago Blackhawks will have a hearing Sunday. Caggiula hit Edmonton Oilers forward Tyler Ennis during the second period of their game Saturday, appearing to contact the head. Caggiula was not penalized on the play. There have been several incidents already in the exhibition and early playoff games that could have warranted review from the DoPS, with almost every team trying to engage physically early to get the tempo of games up. Fights have already erupted between players that rarely drop the gloves and huge collisions have become standard, at least early in games. Caggiula, who came to the Blackhawks from the Oilers last season, recorded nine goals and 15 points in 40 games for Chicago this year. He played a little over 11 minutes Saturday, recording four hits and a blocked shot.
