Rhinocook Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The Chicago announcers also claimed Hansen deliberately slashed Bolland in the last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 If you ever wonder about the consistency of calls... Just look at this thread. Imagine all of us were on a board, making decisions, about who to suspend/fine. We all root for the same team and still wouldn't be able to make a decision one way or the other on ANY of the provided footage. I do agree that there is bias in regard to superstars... but, from a business standpoint, they are worth way more! They get paid more; they bring in more money and everyone has their eyes on them. Does that make it right? I Personally dont think so... But life isnt fair. If any poor guy puts his hands on a rich man, hes gonna get the book thrown at him. Its a sad fact of life.

gizmo2337 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 NHL is the best bush league in the world. Bush league officiating is a joke, Gary Bettman a*! clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It's this automatic cry of "bias" any time something doesn't go Vancouver's way that gives our fan base a bad reputation. Did the Predators call "conspiracy" or "incompetance" on that off-side goal? Yes, the NHL's officiating and discipline is inconsistent and at times inexplicable. That doesn't make it any kind of conspiracy directed at Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansicle Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yah, your too whiney. Your experience in the past is clouding your "vision" of the present. Hansen re-concussed Hossa. Pretty big deal. So all those plays you mentioned vs Boston were terrible and sucked, they have nothing to do with this. Although I dont think Hansen did it on purpose, the one game suspension is a gift. He could've got worse. Dont let sour grapes ruin your love of the game. Sh*t happens!

lolwut? Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Stop whining. The only way to fight the bias is to stop watching altogether and COST THE NHL MONEY. Only when this happens will bias be gone and the NHL will know that screwing around won't work anymore. You're complaining while giving them the perfect conditions to screw you over. If you don't want bias, make them pay for it by not watching. If the game is so unbearable (like DebLuvs said), then stop watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansicle Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My question is if Hansens arm out in there makeing contact with Hossa backing up in to it is a suspension, then what is fighting? With this rule every time two players get in to a fight, and land at least one blow to the head, they should at least get one game. Or what about when players were punching the Sedins in the head repeaditly in the playoffs. That was on purpose and direct contact to the head. I mean I dont want to rag on Hossa but if that light amount of contact to the head causes injury then his hockey career is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yep, the NHL has set an agenda and they're out to get us Every team has had their fair share of bad calls/rulings against them, this isn't a unique phenomena for us. Also, the 1 game suspension for Hansen was a fitting punishment. It wasn't malicious, but it was reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckniforlife Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 HAHA people hate Canucks fans right now wait til the Vancouver Canucks win the Stanley Cup they're going to triple that feeling!!!!! As for the NHL bias who cares it makes it that much more fun to be a Canucks fan. Anyway, on a positive note Hansen can get a rest and let's focus on a W tonight.

rkyway Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Re; "a head shot is a head shot." I'm very tired of certain people shutting down threads they don't like. What is the point of what you're doing? This is clearly censorship. - the suspension to Hansen was very well deserved. The fact other players don't at times get suspended has nothing to do with it. This can't be a perfect process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 sick of some fans complain everything.. make everyone look bad... yes its bad but it's only 1 game. we can live with it.. especially hate the ones going into other teams forum board and posting stupid things and complain... tha'ts why everyone hates us...

CookieCrumbs Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 1 game is completely fine. Any more than that I would be a little aggravated. You should see what the Hawks fans have been saying over on HF. In their eyes Hansen is a goon that runs around cheap shotting people, and should be banned from the NHL forever. It's hilarious, they're saying "Hansen should be suspended as long as Hossa is out!". The hypocrisy amongst hockey fans completely blows my mind. Hawks fans are a joke. Much worse than the Bruins fans in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 did hansen even make contact with hossa's head? from what i saw it looked like it was just the upper back, and it didn't even look like it was hard. I'm pretty much stayed away from the topic in general though, so a clear screencap of head contact would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ya, I'm sure Bettman jumped on this incident when it crossed his desk! I am sure he cross checked Shanny in the hallway as he got the media flyer out. Come on people. On one of the rare occasions I agreed with Kypreos. If Hossa wasn't injured it wasn't a suspension. It becomes immaterial if Hanson had any intent. The NHL is worried about public opinion and the number of head injuries. Don't get me going on the conspiracy theories. I have harboured fears ever since 2011. Vancouver is one of those rare franchises that is better than healthy. There is very little business reason to have them win a CUP. That said I believe they have enough seniority to be the next Canadian CUP winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5minutesinthebox Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 For goodness sake. That is all but a myth - for the record, this was the first time any Canuck player got the "Shanaban," and for only one game. I will agree though, Boyachuk should have gotten a suspension after Raymond's injury. Still, that one hit didn't cost the game... AV's decision to go with Schneider, instead of Luongo, cost handing the Hawks their first regulation loss of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
