Keep on going Guddy. Don't let this stop you on December 3rd. If you get a fine, all us Canucks fans will gladly chip in. If you get suspended, it'll be worth it. I don't want to see anyone leaving on a stretcher. I don't want to see anyone injured, but I want to see revenge. 

How do you spell disappointment? You want the same revenge that was taken on Duncan Keith after his famous elbow?

You're a turn the other cheek type, aren't you? You'd prefer that the Canucks take abuse and not exact an equal revenge. That's been going on for years now, and it earned the Canucks the reputation for being pushovers.

 

Gudbranson probably should have kept it bottled up and vented out of the earshot of goofs like Abbot and Murphy, but he didn't. He wants to stand up for his teammates. And Pears makes a good point. Do you think that the league should have spoken to Lucic regarding wanting to kill Weise?

 Gudbranson's comment, now that is bush league, i will admit that you are correct there.

Can virtually guarantee you threats/comments like Gud's happen on a nightly basis in the NHL, the AHL, and the CHL, heck even in REC hockey - Gud's only problem was an overzealous reporter publishing it where most experienced reporters who've been around the game for any length of time know this isn't news. 

 

Those idiots over in the DoPS at the NHL know they blew the decision and are now trying to contain their own idiotic decision to do nothing.

My parents talked to me about underage drinking.

100% correct. Bus league comments do not go over well in Canada.

How do taxi league comments go over in Canada?

I'd like to see Coastal's answer to that question, too.

Report: NHL spoke to Canucks about Gudbranson threatening Martin

by Sean O'Leary 19h ago

 

 

John E. Sokolowski / USA TODAY Sports

Erik Gudbranson's threat toward Matt Martin reportedly caught the attention of the NHL.

Following a chippy 6-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks blue-liner said Martin's "f-----g dead."

NHL executive Colin Campbell reportedly spoke to Canucks general manager Jim Benning, saying Gudbranson better stay in line when the two clubs meet again Dec. 3 or he'll face "harsh repercussions," according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Dreger reports the issue isn't on the league's front burner, but it takes a "threat of that magnitude" very seriously.

The Canucks and Leafs combined for 171 penalty minutes in the contest, including 10 for Gudbranson and 19 for Martin.

plussed ya for that one

[Drakrami]

Well... Kadri should have been suspended. 

The league probably wants the Leafs to make the playoffs this year, as they are a huge revenue maker. 

So yeah, crap right here. 

Gudbranson's threat is a totally different issue here. It was out of line obviously; and the league is within bounds to warn us.

 

Gudbranson, didnt have to announce it. Action speaks louder than words. I am still glad to have him on the team though. Usually our soft players just skates around and pretend nothing's happened after getting bullied on.

Campbell? The same guy that fixed the 2011 final...

We have bigger, meaner and angrier  players on our team now. All of them are pissed. For the loss, for the hit on Daniel, for no suspension on Kadri,  for Martin going after a rookie. I have a feeling something big will happen.

Advertising the "death threat" was probably not the best idea, but Gudbranson was pretty fired up and wasn't thinking straight. He probably didn't think that tools like Abbot and Murphy were going to Twitter fink on him. That being said, it would have been better for him to stew on it and then eradicate Martin and Kadri on December 3rd.

 

Why didn't Colin Campbell treat Lucic's direct threat to Weise with the same level of response? Because Greg and Milan were travel buddies? Or maybe because this league has a double standard at play?
