Oh, for sure it deserved a penalty. But Shaw is an aggressive player and that's his game. Should have been two minutes, and if Smith was really hurt, he was REQUIRED to visit the quiet room, as per NHL policy. The fact he took a swig of water and was fine proves he's a lying piece of ****. I can't wait to knock his *** out of the playoffs.
They're a laughingstock amongst their own fans. EVERY fan of the game sees what a joke the officiating and punishment has become. Shanahan has proven incompetent and needs to be canned and a real, unbiased disciplinarian employed. The Weber non-suspension shows he has zero clue about how to determine and mete out punishment. Even Nashville fans knew Weber deserved a game or two and said so. I agree they need to just play on because there's no other course of action for them, but the league needs to figure a solution to this issue pronto.
