elvis15 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not so much an intentional elbow but certainly reckless. Maybe one game, but I could see a fine or nothing as well because of the call on the ice.Pittsburgh PenguinsVerified account @penguins 2h2 hours agoCoach Johnston on Bonino: "I still have to talk to the doctors about a game situation but he was cleared for full practice today."Looks like Bonino is cleared so there shouldn't be any injury factor.

hatedkid666 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The craziest part about all this is that the penguins all star offensive group couldn't score on a long 6 on 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked over his shoulder and then swung his arm back...That was intentional, though I don't think he was looking to connect on the nose or try to really hurt Bonino.Looked like he got clipped from someone up ice and was still pissed about it and took it out on Bonino.

Z Hockey Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 What does Demers have to complain about? Don't see why he's yelling back. Suspend him for 8-10 games. That's exactly what they don't want hits to be anymore, shoulder on shoulder only. Obviously stops and looks and whales his elbow into Bonino's face. Poor Bones, NHL better not just slap Demers wrist, what an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like Kassian didn't intentionally high stick Gagner in the face, but it was reckless just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he was aiming for the jaw as opposed to the nose. He got a game misconduct so I'd be ok with 1 game or a fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It was intentional. He may have not picked a specific part of the face, but he did a shoulder check, saw Bonino, and then deliberately got his elbow up to the height of Bonino's face so he has to own the consequences.Deserves at least 1 game in my opinion.

canuck73_3 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 How did you fail to understand that was 100% a joke. Mostly because there are still bone heads here that think Torres doesn't deserve the reputation he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
