poetica Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not surprised there was a suspension. After all, we all know when a big name player is hurt, especially from an NHL darling team a suspension is coming, warranted or not. Still don't think it was justified, especially in light of other plays that have received nothing or fine only, but I am glad it wasn't more.

StopesisCanucks Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 What about all the punches thrown after the goalie freezes the puck. need that removed too if head shots need to be removed for god sakes everyone would be concussed if they were fragile like hossa. Hockey is very physical and the fastest game on earth things happen, shouldn't be suspended for things happen unintentional. Tired of nhl side circus,zero gms for charaon Pacioretty, 1 gm for this, 5 gms for keith hit, 20+ gms for torres hit. I love the gm but hate who is running it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 john garrett @SNJohnGarrett Brad Stuart gets nothing and Jannik Hansen gets a game. Are you kidding me? Such a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiun Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm confused. From what Shanahan was saying during the video, it sounds a lot like they are saying Hansen initially went for the puck, then, having missed the puck, followed through deliberately on Hossa's head. If that's the case, then why only the one game suspension? Wouldn't a deliberate elbow to the head warrant a longer suspension, if they are going to argue it was deliberate?

key2thecup Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hossa is such a baby. State of the art helmet and he can't take a little nudge to the back of the head. I understand if his head hits the ice or gets slammed into the boards, but playing dead after someone accidentally hits you in the head while reaching for a puck is pathetic. I've been smacked in the head before by someone who was reaching for something without a helmet and I just walked it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That is pretty... annoying. I can live with 1 game as what is 1 game really it's more the double standards that piss me off - how is Cooke's step not worth even a game when this is? I also cannot believe how badly it hurt Hossa, not calling a dive but he didn't hit his head on the ice or anything and these are two guys in full equipment.. He drops like a ton of bricks - Hansen must be the ???? hulk or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panelguy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Like I said don't expect the NHL to be even when handing out suspensions. What is hard to do is locate any email addresses to voice your opinion with certain NHL officials like Shanahan. Lets see how honest he will be when a Canuck gets nailed.

S.Mouse! Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It wasn't a vicious play, but more of a careless one. 1 game is fine. It's like an unintentional high stick which causes injury. No intent, but players need to be in control of their equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Seeing all the other first timers get fines and then Hansen getting the hammer to me screams "Hossa is a tender kitten that needs protection from the big bad players". If Hansen's name was Malkin, he would have been given a pat on the head (not too hard now) and sent on his merry little way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
