Dennis Seidenberg won’t be facing any supplementary discipline for his accidental head shot on Ottawa Senators’ Bobby Ryan. Bobby Ryan summed up his feelings about the hit, and his feelings towards the big German defenseman.  “It is what it is, I don’t know if it was clean or not, that’s not for me to decide. It just was one of those plays that probably got away from him. He’s not a malicious player by any means so I don’t have any ill will towards him from my end.” (NBC Sports)

John Scott. Now, that you’ve got the swearing out of your system, this is one of the people that needs to be chased out of the NHL. John Scott after staring down a seven game suspension and the open ire of many people in and out of the league. You would think he might learn a lesson or two by now. Oh no, not the last of the super goons in hockey. This time he decided to go after Dion Phaneuf. The guys at Puck Daddy have all of Scott’s words including his shot at Dion, calling him “Princess Phaneuf”. (Puck Daddy)
