shiznak Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 10 games is a bit steep. Should be at least 5 games and a 5K fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Coincidence that the Canucks have 10 games until the Olympic break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelguy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Torts didn't hit anybody , the media is making this out to be way bigger a deal than it really is. What did he do wrong really , go to the opposisions dressing room? So what. big deal. A cross check to the ribs on two players and a cross check to the head and hurting players is a bigger deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody Hates Raymond Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 So proud of Tortorella. He stuck up for his team, his fans, his players... Such a stark difference from Alain Vigneault. Regardless of some crappy cold streak, this Canucks team finally has heart. I've missed that so much. #FREETORTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Daimler Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What a joke the NHL is. If this was Torts in NYR it would be probably a fine. A complete joke. Come on don't be a clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Roy goes ballistics and people praise him and he gets slapped with a fine.\ Torts lets his anger get the better of him and he gets 3-10 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Lots of things have gotten away from the league - throughout the league - and yet they've done nothing. If the public make a big enough deal out of this, the owners will be forced to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 People should expect and learned by now that if it's any Canuck disciplinary and or player infraction where Shanaban and Count Bettman are involved to review then it's a guarantee WORST case scenario and extreme hand down verdict even with or without obvious league precedence. See - Aaron Rome in Finals See - Kassian with Gagner See - Edler with Hertl See - Roy go crazy on the bench (no fine) See - Calgary's involvement Saturday (not even any comment) See - reffing against Vancouver post-Auger incident (no NHL action) See - Auger's discipline for calling out Burrows and making him 'pay' (no fine/NHL action) See - Hanzal on 3 Canuck players (minor fine) See - Keith on Daniel Sedin (was there even a penalty? + no fine/NHL action) See - McGrattan's hit on Alberts (no fine/NHL action) See - Nolan's charge/kneeing on Henrik Sedin (no fine/NHL action) I could go on...

canucks.brad Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 6 games is good. pretty reasonable. I thought it was going to be higher, but good number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Glad Hartley got a fine...think he should have to sit too. But I guess on a team that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The comment by CC about embarrassment really highlights the ego of the NHL brass. If your league is being embarrassed, you have to fix something, not punish someone. It reflects on you and falls in your lap, so don't deflect it elsewhere. This league is becoming an embarrassment and they're running the show, so do they not see the connection? Take any ownership? It's embarrassing that a guy who runs the show can have a kid playing in the game. Conflict of interest? The game was an embarrassment. That week of games we played was. Their league is currently a gong show. Were they embarrassed when Kessel chopped guys with his stick? Some real buffoons at the helm. Be embarrassed that 10 years after the Bertuzzi incident you're still no further ahead and you're still running a league that gets some so frustrated that they lash out. Be embarrassed that you allow that to develop/happen (still). No, never mind...I'm embarrassed for you NHL. This warranted a suspension in setting a "you just can't do that" way. But what about all that other crap? When's that message being sent? Need help spelling big words in the memo? I expected this, but am also really angry over it. The whole/big picture needs a look at it (again). Not just isolated incidents when it's a team in the doghouse. All teams, all incidents. That's how you make it stop and, in turn, stop being embarrassed by your product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakanucks Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Colin Campbell calls Totorella's attempt to get to Flames locker room "both dangerous and an embarrassment to the league", "Mr. Tortorella failed in his responsibility to the game." the only person that's an embarrassment to the league is...well...mr. colin campbell......and his buddies in NY head office Edit: for the record, I'm fine with the suspension, at least it wasnt the full 10 games....
