Alflives Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 18 minutes ago, StealthNuck said: The NHL is really giving the impression that it doesn't give a %*(! about player safety. The league handing out s suspension only satisfies the team that had a player injured in the playoffs. A guy takes out Arvidsson and gets four games, but the Preds don’t see the Blues until after the suspension. The suspension in no way helps the Preds. In fact the suspension helps the teams the Blues are playing next. This is exactly why players need the freedom to police for their own teams. Do away with the instigator rule, and let the boppers do some face punching. Get revenge during the game in which your own player was hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xereau Posted November 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2019 Egregious acts should be met with suspensions which matches how long you put a guy out. If you end a guys career, or put him out for 6 months, you should be gone for just as long. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Red Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 This really pisses me off. Arvidsson is a star player and Bortuzzo is barely in the league... PROTECT YOUR DAMN PLAYERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hope they also wise the hell up about some of the cross checks Petey's taking. Away from the play, in succession. Player safety...another name for Russian Roulette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 One guy got 4 weeks for diving. The other got a few games. No diving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFilm Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Would have given him at least a couple more...not only does he stare right at the ref after the 1st ones called, he does it again, only harder. Aka oh who cares I already got the penalty 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I was just thinking if this had happened to say like Pettersson and he was then out for 4-6 weeks and then you find out the guy only got 4 games for it, I'd be pissed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stammer- Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo deserves to miss as many games as Arvidsson will, dirty play that costs Nashville one of their best players for at least a month 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo is the same guy who got into a fight at practice. Does not deserve to be in this league anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Terrible, but that's DOPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 While I agree that the DOPS is a bastion of inconsistency, I some times wonder how much the PA impacts suspension lengths? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) And the goalie......was that necessary? ........I saw on a different video where their goalie (Binnington ) also gave him a crosscheck after Bortuzzo’s two, but it was cut out of this video.

riprypien Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 What a dirty crosscheck. Didn't Bortuzzo also lose his temper and threw punches at a teammate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taskicon Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I think he should be removed from the NHL. He was clearly trying to injure the other player. If this was a regular place of work that kind of maliciousness would never be tolerated. Someone who lashes out like that over a penalty call doesn't deserve to play hockey.

mll Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo has been healthy scratched multiple times this season - he has only played 11 or their 24 games. Don't think it matters all that much for the Blues to be losing him for 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 This play pisses me off because it reminds me of the cross check that Boychuk put on Mason Raymond. On a sidenote, completely unrelated to this suspension, I've noticed in every game involving Nashville that they're diving and embelishing a lot this season. 4 games is about right, could've even been 5. The reason that you can't suspend based on the injury is that if Elias injures someone like a 7th defenseman on the Flames, it would be in their best interest to keep that d-man out as long as possible. Especially more so in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
