Willie Mitchell With A Huge Hit On Jonathan Toews
KK Hockey — from Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, Hawks captain Jonathan Toews was crunched with an open-ice hit from Willie Mitchell in the third period and didn’t return. Defenseman Brent Seabrook also left the game with an injury as the Canucks won 3-2 at the United Center. Coach Joel Quenneville said after the game both players would be evaluated Thursday. more

Like Running Straight Into a Brick Wall
The Slanch Report — When I see hits like this one that Vancouver’s Willie Mitchell levels on Blackhawk’s captain Jonathan Toews I am glad that my mom never would have let me play hockey. It’s a clean hit but it absolutely demolishes Toews who can’t pick up his stick, tries to skate to bench and can’t get a few feet without collapsing. Wow. ...

On the Forecheck — As the Nashville Predators (and their fans) collectively search for answers to reverse the current six-game losing streak, some solace can be taken as two rookies (Colin Wilson and Cody Franson) recorded their first NHL points last night in Boston. For a host of reaction, check out my post-game piece, along with Section 303, Confessions of a Preds Fanatic, Hockey Independent, What the Puck, and John Glennon at The Tennesean. Glennon notes that the 2007-8 team also got off to a lousy start but rallied to make the playoffs. After the jump, you'll find your morning news and notes, including the ...

Big Hit on Toews puts Focus on Hawks Response
Not Qualified To Comment — In case you missed it Wednesday night, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews got absolutely destroyed by Willie Mitchell.    Tough break for Toews as Mitchell came out of the penalty box seconds before slamming the captain with a vicious, clean hit.  Kris Versteeg followed up by going after Mitchell, which normally would draw criticism from this hockey fan.  I’m getting sick of players starting fights after clean hits, but in this case we’re talking about your team leader getting trucked.  It’s not that Mitchell shouldn’t have hit Toews, it’s just that when someone hits ...
