Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec Dave Tippett on @OilersNow: Kris Russell is day to day with an LBI. Hurt on a clean check by Matt Tkachuk. 12:16 - CGY - Matthew Tkachuk Boarding against Kris Russell I assume Spector is just trolling Oilers fans by adding in the "clean check" remark.

Turtle needs a "clean check" to finish his season early.
Interesting that Toronto responds to Edlers hit on Hyman with a fight with Simmonds, and Turtle gets nothing from Oilers, maybe not a fight (kind of ends up pointless anyway), but at least a a solid bone rattling hit like a full speed Kronwall butt-first special. That hit that Kronwall used to use was the perfect weapon, by hitting the guy going backwards you always avoided getting suspended with a high hit, no elbows, shoulder, stick to potentially ride up and hit the head, but the effects were just as devastating as full head on hit (or more so) .
I hated Kronwall (see what he did to Gagner below!), but I have to say his signature hits were an artform. The one on Kessler on the bottom was a total beaut!
If I were Playfair or Manson, I'd have a "greatest hits" with Kronwall on a loop showing my d-men how to apply retribution without having to stage a fight, with more effect.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
