CAkNUCKle sandwich Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 So after what Gudbranson said, do you guys think that the league will hand him a fine/suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramarossa Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Has anyone previously been fined for a threat? Obviously a guy pretty fired up and frustrated after a tough loss. Can't imagine much more than some Canucks brass behind the scenes telling him to be a little more thoughtful when speaking in public. That's it.

Salmonberries Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have an awful 'Steve Moore' feeling about Dec 3. I sure hope nothing happens. It would help if Kadri got 3-4 games. I hope I'm wrong, it'd be a lousy birthday present for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 So he said this in the hallway and some idiot reporter overheard? Is that accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckinEdm Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Lol guys more upset that a guy went after Stecher then Kadri headshotting Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudbranson is a big, strong guy but Matt Martin is a big guy too and a very experienced fighter. He won't be letting himself get sucker punched and be down so easily.

Strombone Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Well you know... That's how the #44s are with this club. Turnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I sort of doubt it'll happen, but I could see it being a fineable offence. It sets a bad precedent to let players utter threats when the media around, this isn't WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm thinking more about Nadri or one of the Leafs young stars getting head shotted as payback for Daniel and Hansen. Daniel especially, and most especially if there are no or minimal consequences for Kadri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's accurate given the tweets I provided. They even said Guddy wasn't available to the media following those comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Did Lucic get fined/suspended after telling Weise in a handshake line "im going to kill you"? Same precedent here, but this is not as bad as what Lucic did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhodgejr Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I want to see Martin punished for his actions. Only guy on our team who could KO Martin is Pedan. I really hope he gets a call up against Toronto that game. As well as what ever other tough guy fighters we have in the system. My dream is we build a team of guys who all can win fights. Being a fan of this team for the past 10 years has been painful. In the late 90's early 2000's it was a much tougher team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Everyone is getting soft. On Dec 3, if Matt Martin dresses. He better be dead. Heck, Morgan Reilly and Nazem Kadri should be dead too. Back in the good old days, teams would bond in these type of scenarios. Fight for each other, and every year we see our top guys get hit and nobody does anything. Hansen gets destroyed and he goes and fights the guy that destroys the Sedins? What a joke. Team is soft like butter. What happened to chivalry? This team is a mess and everyone, including the team knows it. All the good teams with core guys have guys protecting each other. It sad that we have to see Burrows be the guy to retaliate. We have lots of guys that think they are tough guys. Do something. We acquired Gudbranson to do this sort of thing but he alone isn't enough. Ryan Miller had to be guy protecting Stretcher? What a joke. Team is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 There's no way he should get fined just because a couple reporters overheard him say it in the hallway. How many times a game do you think a player says "I'm going to kill you" or "You're dead" (or something like that) to another player on the ice? But you gotta love how Toronto media are now way more concerned with what Gudbranson said than what Kadri, Reilly, and Martin actually did.

Martin would dance with a Canuck on every shift, if challenged and league rules allowed. No danger of another Moore incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 At the very least they're not letting themselves get pushed around like they used to. As painful as this game was it was nice to see some pushback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRypien37 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Good to see that fire from Guddy, but he is getting a little ahead of himself. Martin isn't some small unknown fighter. He is 6'3 220 and has 77 fights in the NHL, many of them against legitimate heavies. This is the problem with not having a guy whose main job it is to fight and has the ability to take on the big boys. Guddy is a top 4 guy (top 2 atm) and losing him for 5 minutes and potential injury isn't worth it. If the Stanley Cup Champion Pens carry and play Sestito, Vancouver should follow.
