Sharks Dan Boyle taken off ice on stretcher after dirty hit from behind..

[Upton]

Boyle spent the night in the hospital. How long he'll be out is anybody's guess. The Blues Maxim Lapierre, who delivered the hit, has been suspended in the past for a similar dirty hit on then Shark Dan Nichol. And, according to Logan Couture, Lapierre was threatening to "get somebody" after the first shift, and then came the clearly illegal hit on Boyle. A good long suspension looks upcoming.
