Duodenum Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Should've started at double that amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Intent to injure doesn't get any more obvious than that. Should have been a 10 game suspension at minimum. Just think, Hathaway got three games for spitting on Gudbranson. Apparently an extremely dangerous and malicious cross check on a defenseless player is almost equivalent to that? What kind of joke is this league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Yeah....that was a dirty PoS play. That should get more than 4 games IMO. Especially with the PoS history he has. Edited November 25, 2019 by aGENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo should be out as long as Arvidsson is. No question. This league is such a pathetic joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) First one wasnt that bad imo. second was cheap and suspension worthy. 4 is fair imo and maybe even on the high side. Edited November 25, 2019 by riffraff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the DoPS video (via Vingan): "It is important to note the differences between the cross-checks on this play. Bortuzzo was correctly assessed a minor penalty for the original cross-check on Arvidsson. … Bortuzzo’s second cross-check, however, is not a hockey play.” They even add that it was out of frustration. A return on 1 January has Arvidsson missing 16 games vs only 4 games. Players should be treated equally but to their team they have completely different value. Arvidsson is the Predators' best RW and it's not close. Bortuzzo has been a healthy scratch for half of the games.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 18 hours ago, the grinder said: yep then walk over to the other teams best player and do a burtuzzo you only get four games right ? Lol Canucks luck it would be 10 games This suspension should of been more imo, even the first cross check was bad, so dangerous being whiplashed from behind like that, also surprised his head didn't hit the cross bar on that first cross check, and if it did he could of got a concussion. But then that 2nd cross check was an attempt to injure with a weapon technically, almost similar with McSorley and being charged with assault because he used his stick/weapon to injure someone, don't really see much difference besides one was directed at the head and the other was directed at the lower body, still the same body... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Intent to injury on the 2nd cross check, as far as I'm concerned he should have to sit out as long as the player is injured. Otherwise, what's stopping teams from putting out a goon to go head hunt stars? For example, if we send Roussel out to go try and break one of McDavid's ribs, we lose a 4th liner for 4 games, they lose their star and we can easily creep up on them in the standings. From that point of view, it makes sense to play dirty. Obviously not many players are classless enough to want to do such a thing but in the playoffs where morals are skewed, anything goes and every advantage helps. This is a disgrace and should be easily one of those big 10-20 game suspensions. Cross check to a guy on the ice after the play with intent to injure is not hockey. I'm surprised the Preds didn't send someone to pummel Bortuzzo but they will next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
