Hairy Kneel Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 This board is being trolled to maintain and encourage the diver status, Torts says no to that stuff and I think the team is definitally following his lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Penalty but not a suspendable play. For the record I don't believe the Elder hit was suspendable either. Why are we still talking about this? Because the overall issue is a polarizing one filled with emotion around one of people's favourite sports involving one of their favourite teams. A number of people have been arguing about bias and with emotion rather than looking at each situation and seeing if they're suspendable or not based on their own merits. There's no question about the NHL's lack of consistency, but people want to take that and apply it to every possible situation that affects them and cry foul regardless of if it's a good decision or not.

hf44 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I love the MSG tv crew, it didn't look like much of a hit. If it was Kesler that hit Nielsen, they would be screaming bloody murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanlet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Penalty but not a suspendable play. For the record I don't believe the Elder hit was suspendable either. Why are we still talking about this? Because the people who make these calls still work at the NHL. Remember when Daniel Sedin's "kicked in" goal was disallowed in the playoffs against the Kings in 2010? Mike Murphy STILL works at the NHL, he's STILL a major part of the decision making TO THIS DAY. My question is, why do people stop talking about these unforgivable transgressions, especially when they directly contradict the rule book AND the addendum DVD they had just sent out that very season, like the decision on Sedin's goal was.

Psycho_Path Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Even more amazing is how half of the turkeys in this thread turn into forensic investigators when trying to justify a suspension. Wish the NHL would spend at least 1/4 the time the people in this thread/the Edler suspension thread did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when you actually read what people write, such as canuck73_3 on the previous page: To me that was an elbowing penalty but not suspension worthy. But the Hertl hit was not suspension worthy to me either so in fairness I'd like to have seen Nielsen get 3 for a non suspension worthy hit. People aren't saying this should be suspendable because Nielsen deserves it, but because the league set a precedent with the Edler suspension. This contact is worse than what Edler did as Edler didn't even hit Hertl (Hertl ran into Edler). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
