benching Schmidt for Shitpants was a mistake, and Vegas has since traded off Schmitty

And Schmidt is having a tough year in Vancouver. He seemed to fit so well in Vegas.
Agreed sitting Schmidt for Shattenkirk was a mistake. The deal was a mistake. We didn't need another offense only defenceman.

The league decided it wasn't necessary to have a hearing with Hathaway for further discipline. Which is great for the Caps and Hathy.

I think that's the right call in this incident.
I didn't think the hit was that bad. Maybe warrant 2 minutes, because the guy turned his back at the last minute and Hathy definitely let up on the hit. Unfortunate fall and face plant but it happens. I don't think it was a blatant boarding hit. It's not like Hathy took a run at him and crossed checked him from behind and planted the dude head 1st into the boards.
AND the referee standing right there directly looking at the play did NOT call a penalty. He was watching the play. He had a perfect view of the play. The call was made by a back line referee who was well away from the play and did not have the angle of view the primary referee had.
I'm curious - Other than the bloody nose was the player injured? Did he play the next game?
