We suspected as much and now it's official.

The National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety has announced that it will review the sequence of events that could lead to a suspension for Montreal Canadiens forwward Andrew Shaw, and one we believe will lead to such a suspension. A hearing ith Shaw has been schedule for Thursday and will be take place via phone.

The fight that came after the fact will largely be irrelevant in the decision, however the hit from behind Shaw delivered to the back of Washington's Connor Hobbs appeared to be an obvious act of revenge, and that will likely be viewed in a very bad light by player safety.

To make matters worse Stephan Quintal was on hand for the game and got a first hand look at it live, indicating he thought it was not a good hit, we doubt video replay will do anything to improve that disposition.
