The Kassassin Train Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow, suspended infinitely. This latest development actually makes me feel kind of better. Hopefully he gets more than 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacare Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 either way this was a stupid play by keith, eye for an eye hurts everyone. if they're gonna cheap shot our star players, chances are pretty good we're gonna do the same. only difference being that toews, bolland and seabrook all have well documented concussion problems.

forevernucks19 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Keith deserves more than 5. if Romer got 4 gmes in the finals for a half a second late but otherwise legal check, Keith deserves the book being thrown at him for an intentional blindside flying elbow to the head. What a sack of crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well this is certainly very positive news that they're holding open the possibility of an in person hearing. Five games would be far too lenient all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevernucks19 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Meaning Keith could receive 5 or more games. Also told his #NHL hearing could be pushed back much later then the one scheduled for Fri 2pm. Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Hearing tonite #NHL has in fact decided to ask #Blackhawks D. Keith to waive his right to in person hearing for elbow on #Canucks D. Sedin Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Its unknown at this point in time whether #Blackhawks Keith who's is 'susp' indefinitely by #NHL has waived right to in person hearing or not Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie I am told no decision of any kind will be made until the morning. So all of this very much remains up in air but it's become complicated. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie League apparently indicated to CHI and Keith earlier today the hearing would be over phone (5 or less games). Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Hours later, NHL indicated it wanted an in person (potential to suspend for 6 or more) hearing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Maybe he heard testimony from a linesman who heard Keith threaten Danny before the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Indefinite (until player returns from line up) + 5 games after that. That's how you get rid of headshots in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Was strolling through the Hawks boards, interestingly enough and rivalries aside, they aren't at all shocked that Keith could get 5+ games. Good on them for acknowledging that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Why should he? based on every suspension this season, 5 seems to be a pretty good guess on Keith s suspension... I would much rather the people who think this will be 'indefinite' until Daniels back "shut up", because new punishments aren't going to be made up just because it was a Canuck hurt. it was a blinside elbow, 5 or 6 games. move on people. you're all starting to get 'canuck-fanish' about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Romo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That could also mean Daniel out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day one Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Shanny missed the opportunity to really make the suspension equal to the injury. I have felt for several years now that the suspension should be equal to the time missed by the injured player in the case of a hit with intent to injure, plus an additional penalty tacked on. Something along the lines of 0-10 games missed, an additional 2 games added on. 11-20 games missed, an additional 4 games, etc. In other words, if Daniel misses 20 games, Keith misses 24. Harsh? Yes. Will it make players think twice about dirty hits? Yes. But with video review of the incidents, the non-intentional hits are not as difficult to weed out from the vicious ones. But you watch. Keith will get the he's never done this before discount and end up with 3-4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe-in-blue23 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Should AT THE VERY LEAST be 5 games. He should get 7-8 games IMO. Hard to say though. I trust in Shanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
