NightHawkSniper Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hall looked like he was wanting a reaction from the refs, it was a brush and he delayed then fell down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kane Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Defending rodent kieth is not advised. He is a joke, a goon, who intentionally injures star players. He's this century's dave Schultz or marty mcsorley. Weise and the Kass are solid good guys just trying to play the sport. Only biased anti-Canucks people with agendas think there should be a fine or suspension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdean10 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I don't get why Kassian would swing his arm around like that, maybe he thought Gagner was closer and since he missed him with his body was trying to knock him with his arm but instead got him with the stick. I don't think it was intention to hit him with the stick but being how careless the hit was, I think he'll be suspended. I would be pretty choked if this happened to anyone on the Canucks. If it was completely reversed, Gagner hitting Kassian like that.. yeah I'd be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberries Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Kassian's high sticking looked accidental, and like someone already posted, if he gets suspended I think it'll be because of the outcome not because of intent. It's unfortunate that he got seriously injured. Weise's hit did look like intent to injure though, I won't be surprised to see a suspension for it.

Dion Phaneuf Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Doesn't matter to me if both Kass and Weise are suspended. More chances youngsters to make an impact. I wouldn't be saying this if the season had already started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Rio Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Kassian's stick was pretty reckless, just swung it full force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 One can speculate about how many games, but I would assume both will be suspended with Kassian getting the longer one. I would be surprised if it is less than 3. Kassian has never been suspended in the NHL before so he can say it was accidental but clearly he is going to get time for it.

nux4lyfe Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I hope they suspend Weise for 82 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The Weise hit is one of those plays where you could make a case for or against suspension, so flip a coin. I will say this, however: Hall seems to have a nasty habit of being in vulnerable positions. I think the hit just ended up ugly for Mr. Weise. Kassian's play was just stupid. That should be a suspension, 1-3 games. Recklessness + injury = consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah, but he plays for LA, the Hollywood Honeys. You gotta multiple anything they get by the number of letters in "British Columbia, Canada" to get our suspension. You know, I never used to be this cynical. So, thanks for that Shanahan!

Drouin Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 This and the Setoguchi hit are the ones I keep going back to as reference And then I think of the two Hall knee on knee incidents and the lack of discipline and I get angry. There's NO question one or both of them will sit and it's infuriating. The canucks seriously need to stand up to the league on this nonsense if there's anything more than a pre-season game.

Warhippy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Taylor Hall the Darling....might I mention neither of those even got looked at past a 2 game suspension for the knee AFTER the Wild petitioned the league as the league was going to let it slide. As an added note, Taylor Hall skipped the next game against the Wild with an "undisclosed illness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 So Kassian gets an in person hearing? Really? What kind of joke is that it's not like he purposely took a swing at Gagne he was just careless with his stick. We've seen people get skates to the throat that could of ended in fatalities, luckily they didn't, and I don't recall these plays being reviewed or even suspensions and you have much more control over your skate than you do of you stick. I am not saying this isn't suspension worthy but anything over a game is pure nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Since when is swinging your stick around behind you at face level considered nothing more than finishing a hit!?C'mon people! Take off your bias goggles! Kassian just following through on a hit? I'm a big fan of his but there was no need to swing his stick like that, it was careless and he could have avoided doing it no doubt about it, especially a check he missed by a mile. He should be punished in some way for sure. It was reckless, careless and dangerous, Surely he didn't mean to break a jaw, but it could have been avoided by not swinging his stick around behind him like that. These guys are pros, they have far more control of their sticks than what Kassian showed on that play, he wasn't digging for a puck or following through on a shot. Straight careless, nothing more. Weiss may have or have not used his elbow, fact of the matter is that the main point of contact was Hall's head, and Hall was in a vulnerable position, even though from Weiss angle and the timing of the hit, it was probably hard to determine that, but rules are rules and they are there to protect the players. It would be surprising if he gets away with it after being reviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
