Shannon indefinite with concussion, Pock gets five games

A little fallout from the elbow Islanders forward Thomas Pock threw to the head of Senators forward Ryan Shannon came out today. TSN is reporting that Pock has received a five-game suspension for his part, and Michael Sharp has quoted Sens coach Craig Hartsburg in saying that Shannon's status is indefinite with his concussion.

Since Shannon will obviously not be in the lineup tomorrow night, Ilya Zubov has been recalled from Binghamton; no word where he'll fit, but he's an offensive player so he'll likely be placed with other offensive players.

I'm not sure how I feel about the suspension. It depends how much the injury is supposed to weigh in on the final verdict, I suppose. I guess five games is probably fair.

I predict Zubov will get at least one goal.

Here is an issue - why was shamrock even selected to play in the first place? How many years has Zubov been with the organization? And Shamrock? Huh.

Of all the russians in the world who don't want to be here and play soft... Well here is a BIG thumbs up to Zubov for sticking with it. I wish the Sens had shown him the same respect and called him up instead of Shamrock. Sure I acknowledge Shamm is a few points ahead of Zobov this year but man.. where is the loyalty?

Go Zubov, give her heck!!!
