Strombone1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 @NHLPlayerSafety: Alexander Edler suspension video: http://t.co/EV6SgSonhB @VanCanucks: Statement from @GMMikeGillis on Alex Edler - http://t.co/M2sBKy0JkE #Canucks --------- Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2. Most asked question of day: How can Alex Edler get 2 games for mowing down Mike Smith when Milan Lucic got zip for takin out Ryan Miller? Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Love easy questions. This one is a lay-up. Because, after @NHLShanahan didn't suspend Lucic, GMs told him in no uncertain terms he erred Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Lucic-Miller happened days before GMs meeting last year. Result was much higher sensitivity to goalie interference for most of last season. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Edler suspension was no brainer, open/shut case based on rules and GM-instructed emphasis. You may think goalies fair game but they're not.

Peace Bond Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm okay with that. Maybe AV will finally give Ballard a chance on the powerplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Blessing in disguise. He's been awful this season and has earned 2 games in the pressbox for numerous mental mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 He probably deserves the suspension, question is why were certain other players (Lucic, Nash) not suspended for worse hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 FOR WHAT ?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Maybe he deserved it...but the fact that Nash didn't even have a hearing is what makes this suspension so ridiculous. Consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas19 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 AND LUCIC GOT HOW MANY FOR RUNNING MILLER? HOW MANY DID NASH GET FOR THAT HIT LAST NIGHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Gaunce Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 goalies should be treated like defensemen out of the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Joffrey Lupul puts it best. "If someone can explain the decisions on what warrants a suspension and what doesn't, please let me and the rest of guys know." - If someone can explain the decisions on what warrants a suspension and what doesn't, please let me and the rest of guys know..— Joffrey Lupul (@JLupul) March 22, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 When you think about it, it makes Duncan Keith's suspension even more of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Not surprised at all. Only thing I don't like is that worse hits don't get anything. Nash should definitely have a hearing. If not, I'd actually want to hear the Canucks complain about that, because that's just not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nash is laughing right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyoming Fan Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Too bad his last name isn't Lucic. He would just receive the "You were a bad, bad, boy" speech and be allowed to skate merrily away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 #11 for Phoenix comes in targeting Elders head after the hit. Shanny is becoming a disgrace to the NHL. The bias is disgusting when you look at recent hits not even fined. The hit was worth a 2 or 5 minute penalty but a 2 game suspension harms the image of the NHL as no reasonable person could conclude that the discipline is consistant - fair - or reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
