drdeath Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 You were super quick as always to report this VC, but the real question is how many games are they going to suspend Edler for the hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hopefully they uphold this standard going forward. Can't wait til Marchand gets the book thrown at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Great news. Throw 30 at Marchand next time he’s Marchand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I figured it was going to be 5 - 10 games. But 20. Wow. If they really want to take head shots out, this is one way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Holy crap! A quarter season. That's steep. I still call BS on the sham that is the DOPS as they would (and never have) never give their pet project Sharthand this steep of a suspension. He's a repeat, repeat offender who uses his size as an excuse for "defending" himself. Until the dopes at the DOPS show consistency throughout the league, suspension-wise, this is merely making an example of a role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 How bad do you think the capitals are feeling about that contract they just signed him to? He is 110% marked for the rest of his career, any questionable hit will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. He is basically neutered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Love it, love it, love it. These hits have no place in the game moving forward. For those arguing a regular hit will eventually go by the wayside? No, a harsh suspension for a dumb hit like this is what will keep hitting in the game by keeping the liability issues away. The NHL got this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the problem. Your statement could be construed as hyperbole, but it's also wholly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkestThought Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm going to miss the days when hockey had edge to it, the hit seemed fine with me, he was gliding and went for a standard hit, he was open and it wasn't very late, just the fact he looked like he was headhunting and came from a distance.. whatever.

Warhippy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 WOW... OK now devils advocate here. I rewatched the hit maybe 2-3 dozen times. There was almost no way for Wilson to let up on a guy who wristed one off balance and admired it instead of keeping his eyes up. The onus is on the players themselves to NOT put themselves in this situation. I can see 5 games, maybe 10 but 20 is insane especially when weighed against so many other egregious hits that were essentially allowed by the DPS simply because "players need to keep themselves safe and not put themselves in those positions" To start the season with such a monstrous suspension only means that they need to continue this kind of discipline throughout the year. But then I can bet half of Methots finger on that not happening depending on who the culprit is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Marchand will get another 3 game suspension down the road because he's a star. Sad in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, guess it's the sign of the times. He read that play perfectly, Blues player kept his head down and was oblivious to the opposition. And if Marchand did this I doubt he'd even get an in-person hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
