Lappy just creamed Dan Boyle and sent him out on a stretcher


Recommended Posts

Historically in the NHL, checking from behind warranted 1-3 games of suspension.

Edler and Stuart got 3 for hitting to the head because it's a new rule and trying to get do something for commotions.

With what said, my guess (not what they deserves, but what I think the NHL will do) :

Lapierre = 4 (3 games for the hit and an extra one for the severity of Boyle's injury, even if he seems to be better today)

Burns = 1-2 game max

The Burns hit warrants just as much media attention as the Lapierre hit. I wonder why all the attention is on Lapierre and not Burns.

I won't be surprised if the DOPS doesn't even look at the Burns hit because of some BS excuse like the Fisher-Franson hit.

More an awkward hit than anything malicious. Boyle was in a terrible position but the NHL doesn't seem to think that the victim has any responsibility whatsoever. It's not Lapierre's fault he was in the position that he was. It's certainly a suspension, but I'd hope it isn't anything major.

Sharks fans have become unbearable on HFBoards with their whining.
