Carl Hagelin Suspended 3 games

Here is an interview this morning on the WFAN Boomer and Carton show with Brendan Shannahan. Shannhan is the NHL executuve who provides the discipline hearings for possible suspensions and fines. Rangers rookie Hagelin was suspended 3 games for a hit to the head saturday night on Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredson. The hit was not malicious, nor is Hagelin a repeat offender. Many NHL and Rangers fans have legitimate gripes with the ruling, considering there is no consistency amongst the suspensions for different players. Alfredson could be in the lineup tonight for the Senators, which would make the suspension look even worse, as it seems the NHL levy's their suspensions based on how hurt the player is, which is wrong. That being said, tonight will be a hard hitting chippy game, and nobody would be surprised if the bad blood carries over from saturday. This is has been a tough fought playoffs within the first week, across the entire NHL.
