The 2010-2011 Suspension Thread

[lampliter87 8]

Nevermind the hit from behind, the suckerpunch at 1:31 is what pisses me off.

[chippa13 1844]

Not sure which was worse, Moen hitting the guy from behind or White using his knee to finish the hit into the boards.

[Law Goalie 147]

Unless someone shows an angle demonstrating that he got tripped or shoved going on, Upshall deserved an intent-to-injure and a suspension for absolutely torpedoing Tuuka Rask about a minute ago. It was sheer luck that Rask was unhurt: Upshall came in a full speed and plowed him in the process of making a save, which is when a goalie is most vulnerable, with no ability to brace and the legs in a contorted position that can't take more weight without serious failure. No call on the play. And it wasn't like Rask was in no-man's land: he was right in the middle of the crease. At the very least, if Upshall had done that to a defenseless skater, he'd have got 5 and a game for charging and intent.

I hadn't seen that. Thanks. I'm a Habs fan but somehow still hope that the Panthers will take care of business next time they meet. Sucker punches have no place wether on the ice or at a bar or anywhere else.

Anyone think that Keith is going to get one for this elbow on Salei?

Anyone think that Keith is going to get one for this elbow on Salei?

I definately think he should, especially with all of the talk about cracking down on shots to the head. But considering its Duncan Keith, and Salei didnt leave on a stretcher i doubt anything comes of it.

[Chadd 916]

It wasn't a blind side hit and it wasn't called in the game, zero chance of it resulting in a suspension. Personally, I think it should but Colin Campbell has a very different view.

They did say that a from the front hit that targets the head can also be suspebdable...it's not limited to blind side hits, but you are right, most likely nothing coming.

[chippa13 1844]

I wonder if Keith's elbow wasn't retaliation for something Salei did earlier in the game. Remember, Salei is the guy who sent Modano face first into the boards years ago.

[maxamillion 3]

so how many games does wishniewski get for that gesture?

[Krev 86]

I don't see him getting anything for that. Maybe a fine. Maybe.

[maxamillion 3]

it was more of an excuse to post that video than anything. I think it's hilarious and they should allow him to play in more games because of it. a negative game suspension. bout time someone stooped to his level and taunted avery like that.

[Krev 86]

Oh I thought it was hilarious as well. Avery won't fight, so James gives him a little somethin somethin instead. Awesome.

And that's exactly what parents want their kids seeing during a hockey game.

"Daddy, what did that mean?"

[Law Goalie 147]

I plan on telling my kids that Fellatio was a Roman sculptor.

[lampliter87 8]

Hjalmarsson's hit from behind on Pominville anyone? Too soon for video...

[maxamillion 3]

And that's exactly what parents want their kids seeing during a hockey game.

"Daddy, what did that mean?"

"He likes popsicles!"

boom problem solved.

[EBondo 233]

I don't even need to say anything about this.

[camhockey16 5]

i could see them giving 5 games - they should want to nip this in the bud before it starts getting worse - then again ol' colin usually does the opposite of what i guess.

this made me spit. Out my beer.

If he's out for a while it may be five games. The hit really wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of the other ones I've seen, but the result was worse. We all know that Campbell suspends based on the result, so the diagnosis will make a difference.

[lampliter87 8]

MSG broadcast said he had a concussion.

[n3ss 0]

that was a pretty nasty hit. He should definitely be suspended for that one.

[vek 0]

That's a tough one. Hard to say that the intent was there to injure, but the optics are terrible, which is all Campbell cares about.

Personally, I thought the Keith one was far worse, in everything but the result. I'd have given him 10 games minimum.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Hjalmarsson has an appearance before CC today:

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=337172

I'm thinking he'll get 2 or 3 games...

As far as the Avery thing...what did the last 'throat slash' gesture get? I say he gets something similar.
