ice orca Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 i wanted 8 but figured 5 was all he would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Agreed, but still the suspension is lame, if I walked up to someone on the street and elbowed them in the head, I would expect to be arrested and thrown in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atillaMYhun Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 How does Rome get 4 SCF games with no intent and no history and Keith gets 5 regular season games with intent and no (official) history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedler10 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 As a fan of the Canucks it's frustating, I would have preferred more but in the end it really would not have changed much, we are still without our best player. Let's all hope that the reason Daniel is not playing now is because it's a precautionary measure by the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airjasper Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 How could anyone be happy with this? He blatantly took out our leading goal scorer. That elbow was on the same level as Bertuzzi going after Moore as far as intent to injure goes. 5 meaningless games for taking out one of the leagues best on the most blatant attempt to injure i've seen in forever and some of you think that's fair. Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryBoy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Does the length of the suspension really make a difference to us though? We're without half of the best duo on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrential Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Considering the suspensions he gave out to Doan and Bourque (both of whom are repeat offenders) I really didn't expect anymore than 5. I was actually assuming it would have because of those suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Romo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I either wanted him to miss a playoff game,but the NHL not suspending him for 9 games,or miss no games so he doesn't get rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 So Duncan gets a nice little rest while we lose our top scorer for the remainder of the season and playoffs (depending on how deep Vancouver goes). Way to reward a cheapshot there Brendan. Every team now knows they have a free pass to knock top players out. If I were in the east I'd be telling my boys to target Sidney's head now... sure you lose a guy for 5 games but hey, not having to deal with Sidney in the playoffs is totally worth it. Disgusting.

vancanfan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 This is such a stupid argument. NEWSFLASH: If you made a clean hipcheck, you'd still be arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airjasper Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Cmon people, take the 'homer' glasses off. 5 is beyond reasonable. It was cheap, dirty and caused injury, but it IMO, wasn't the vicious type that warrants 10+ games....On top of the 5 games loosing 150,000$ is a deterant no matter how much money you make. Shanny was more than reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleJack Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 He does lose nearly a half million in salary. Even for these guys that's a fair chunk of money. What if this had been in the first week of the season? Would you still be saying the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedler10 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It's stupid to argue "if I did that to someone on the street" because the rules of hockey obviously don't apply in the street, do they? ANY type of hockey hit would get you arrested. So it's a poor analogy. Try comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 To be honest if it was October instead of March I would not necessary want him suspended for playoff games, I would have still wanted him suspended more games then five though. The only reason I want him to miss playoff games/or his suspension cost the Blackhawks a playoff spot is because of the fact that its not really costing Chicago anything. If this hit would have been at the start of the hockey season it would be a lot more likely that D. Sedin would be healed in time for the playoffs where now who knows. If he does have a concussion then he could be out for a very long time. So yes my comment may have seemed to be a bit harsh but if the NHL actually penalized players where it counted (the playoffs) when the incident happened so close to the start of the playoffs then crap like this would stop. Keith targeted our star/best player and as a result gets a pat on the back and told not to do it again. I bet you anything they are laughing so hard in Chicago right now.

Haikara Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Satisfied with the suspenion NOT satisfied with the explaination. Shanny's "key points" missed out one KEY POINT, it was a headshot. His video doesnt mention the hit as a head shot, only as an elbow. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Should have been 5 season games plus 1 game in the playoffs. That will sent a good message across the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamikazeWatermelon Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I guess I'm OK with it considering 5 games was kinda what I expected to happen. But I think Danny's probably going to be out for longer than 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
