prana16 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Lappy's looked like a shove that didn't have much on it.. just akward and unfortunate boyle was falling, boyle was already against the boards.. Burn's hit was 10x more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Lappy and Burns should both be suspended. Lappy's hit was dumb on his part. Burns' hit looked deliberate. The severity of the injuries will likely decide the number of games they get. Or in Burns' case, if he gets any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead4ever Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 My question is when are players going to start taking more responsibility for their own safety? Too many times these days players are deliberately turning in to the boards and looking to draw a penalty. It's unfortunate what happened to Boyle but the way he stumbled just before the hit made it a lot worse. Burns looked intentional and I would presume his will get looked at too but with Shanaban who knows what will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm saying 4-5 games for Burns. Around 8-10 games for Lappy. If Burns doesn't get suspended then that would be total BS, if Lappy gets less than 5 games I would be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prana16 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Repeat offender or not.. Boyle was against the boards .. he got his bell rung cause his jaw hit. .. Burns hit is the kind that can break your neck AND it was deliberate. I think some perspective on intent and the severity of the offence is in order.. Not that it will make any difference to the NHL's wheel of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just a few thoughts: The Lapierre hit definitely doesn't look good, but I would categorize it as a hit that went horribly wrong. There was some movement by Boyle that Lapierre did not have control over, and although Boyle is in a vulnerable position, there should be at least some responsibility on Boyle's part to be in position to expect contact as he was playing the puck. I would expect Lapierre to be suspended, but the major reason why would have to do with the injury on the play. Had Boyle popped back up, I doubt there would have even been a penalty on the play. Burns' 'hit' on Morrow is a completely different animal. He basically uses his shoulder to toss him pitchfork style into the boards. Morrow was not in possession of the puck, and he was also thrown awkwardly into the boards, so it's either interference or boarding, take your pick. I would think that altercation to be more vicious, as Burns is engaging physical contact with a player without puck possession in the defensive zone. It makes it very difficult to argue that he did not intend to make that play on purpose. I know that reputation may be a factor in both of these incidents, but Lapierre's hit was a hockey play at least, Burns had no reason to make the play he did, and it was extremely reckless. The NHL should suspend both, but Burns should receive the longer suspension regardless of Lappy's reputation. Although both plays are the kind that could end careers, the play Burns made was absolutely unnecessary and illegal in every respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Lappy deserves maybe 1 game suspension because of the injury. But it's not as bad as what Smid did to Scheifele game 1. He didn't stop, look at the back of his head and then cross check his head into the boards. or this Weber got nothing for this because there was no injury: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chauncey Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 A just Shanahan would give 5 to Burns and 2'to Lapierre. If someone else hit boyle like that probably no suspension but Lappi has a nasty record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
