First thing first- Moulson: The kid looked good last night and has an impressive resume in the AHL. Could he make this team, or is he just a guy hanging around to add depth at Bridgeport? What do you guys think?
Phaneuf’s hit on Kyle Okposo:
Straight from the horse’s mouth: “I thought it was a clean hit,†Phaneuf told the AP. “I stepped up and used my shoulder. You don’t like to see guys get hurt, but that’s part of my job when the hits are there, to take them.â€
My Thoughts: Looks to me that Phaneuf left the air on that hit and if Okposo misses time with this concussion, Phaneuf should get suspended. KO called his pops afterward and told him he was OK; let’s just hope this doesn’t turn out to be something serious.

He left his feet after the impact of the hit. It was a clean, hard monster of a hit.
The NHL needs to stop defending head shots as “clean hits”. There is no clean hit that targets a player’s head. Phaneuf faces some bad karma.
Too bad the name is not Molson… What marketing we could do……
