"We felt this was a reckless and reactionary play on which Weber threw a glancing punch and then shoved Zetterberg's head into the glass," NHL director of player safety Brendan Shanahan said in a release explaining the move. "We reached out to Detroit following the game and were informed that Zetterberg did not suffer an apparent injury and should be in the lineup for Game 2.

The refs suck royal sh*t and so does Shannahan or however the f*ck you spell his name. Fricken joke. All refs should be sh*t canned and the reffing system should be overhauled totally and get all new ref's. This should have had a $10,000 dollar fine, a game misconduct and a few game suspension.
