Bias Against The Blues Again???
Wow, so Pietrangelo gets hit from behind with his head driven into the boards...blood dripping down his chin and the guy only gets a 2 min minor?!?!? If it was a Blues player who did it there would have been a game misconduct call. Now Pietrangelo is in the locker room and his return is doubtful. If that type of call is made in some games, in needs to be made in ALL games. Absolutely ridiculous!

Could be worse... could've been no-call and only a $2,500 fine... Shea Weber...

To me it looked like Pietrangelo put himself into a dangerous position. He knew King was on him and he turned at the last moment. Call could have gone either way I think. It is nice to see some of these calls/situations going the Kings way.
Good game though overall.

Careful, that's dangerously close to a "conspiracy theory"
I'm with you though.

As neither a Blues Fan or A kings fan here is what I think.
King hit pietrangelo from behind beside the net not behind it. He did not drive his head into the boards as what usually happens when you have a suspension or fine. He seemed to me to catch his skate on a rut? and fall into the boards. So 2 minutes for hitting from behind and that is all.
I would be suprised if Alex DOES NOT play in game 2.
