Ourgodluongo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Via Twitter @benkuzma: No supplemental discipline for Grabovski after hit that injured Henrik Sedin. Should make for lively comments at practice today. #Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Of course not..to much to be expected in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surtur Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thought it was a border line hit. At the most would have expected 1 gamesome angles it looks good but awkward other angles it looks bad. Sucks he got hurt but I doubt the intent was there. Still would have liked to see at least 1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Same play to Ekblad gets three games for Hendricks. So by this logic Grabovski should be getting a two game suspension after a one game misconduct. DoPS = Department of Perpetual Stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Maybe Daniel should boycott the all-star game over this and let the league suspend him a game. At least it would draw attention to the BS bias the Sedins have faced throughout their careers. If that were Crosby or McDavid, there would have been a suspension without doubt. Deliberate hit from behind with time to back off and directly into the boards., It's only luck that prevented Hank from breaking his neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The game misconduct was enough punishment. Usually im against the DOPS but this decision I think is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It is easy to feel the league has it in for the Canucks, but as fans we need to stop whining about these things. It's history now lets focus on the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Bush league. This is why this league will never be like the NFL. In the NHL a penalty depends on - what period it is, who had the last few penalties, who is involved in the infraction, is it playoffs or not..etc...and their suspensions are sometimes based on the outcome, sometimes on the intent, sometimes on who is involved. Its like a bloody Ouija board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The hit was unfortunate but I don't think there was an intent to injure. Maybe he could have gotten a game but imo the game misconduct was sufficient. If Hansen had hit Johnny T with the same hit we would be saying the same thing.

-AJ- Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It was a sketchy hit, but IMO, a game-misconduct is enough. I've seen worse get less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair to say the League as a whole has taken the twins for granted over much of their careers, but this mindset is changing throughout the League, not bias simply a lack of respect for the two players and what they bring to the game consistently. It doesn't matter if it's Crosby or Ekblad and so on, throughout the League there is very little discipline for actions that injure players let alone the star players. One may feel it is insane that the star players as witnessed last night are not as protected and punishment for injuring them is minimal. Remember the star players, or any player for that matter is part of a union that wouldn't stand for their members being suspended and going without pay for substantial periods of time. It's not simply the League being lenient. The League also decided years ago to breakdown and eliminate the system in place in which players on the ice could deter and punish those who took liberties with the star players or teammates in general. Now players are punished for attempting to right a wrong. This is not a Sedin's thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyndall2 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I really don't think intent should be taken into consideration. The results are the results. A lot of guys don't intend to high stick guys and cut their faces open but when they do they have to pay the consequences. Again, the league is so inconsistent with their handling of these types of hits. And, again the Sedins are on the receiving end. Maybe we should trade for John Scott and put him in the line up the next time we play the Islanders? Just kidding, but the Canucks really don't have anyone that other teams really fear.

Chalky Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If it wasn't at the bench he would have smashed his face and it would have looked even worse. It should have been a suspension in my opinion, but it should have been one for Dubinsky when he broke his stick on Crosby couple months ago. It's not just a Sedin disrespect issue, it's a useless DOPS issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-ote' Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well, I don't think the hit deserves a suspension. The trouble is, as Canuck fans, we've seen our players get suspended for borderline hits simply because they caused an injury or were deemed reckless. That same standard is not applied in cases like these. The Canucks players have set a lot of precedents that seem to get overturned by better 'lawyers' later.
