khay Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm actually hoping that he is just fine but that the Canucks are not revealing the extent of his conditions to force the league to make a decision on Matheson. Knowing the bs people that are in the DOPS, if the team comes out and says that he is fine, then Matheson will get no games. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL has proven to be incapable in making the right decision time and time again. But if his condition is unknown, the league has to think long and there is small chance that they make the right decision. If he is fine, we know for sure there won't be any suspension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) The Canucks better start investing on bringing in coaches to teach how to protect yourself on the ice. North American players are use to this but players coming from Europe don't really play with this viciousness. If Pettersson is going to play in this league, he will have players who will try to intimidate him and give him shots. All great players go or have went through it. No to speak less of this hit but the Sedins went through much worse than that in thier rookie year. The will not be the last time players like Matheson will take a run at Pettersson, it would be a good idea to have a coach teach how to avoid these types of contacts as much as possible.

The other just came off of concussion protocol (Rousell). And the last one, not sure if he even played or touched the ice after the hit (Schaller). Gud was buddy buddy with Panthers so not likely to happen. No one else on this roaster is gonna fight/be rough. And the guys on the ice probably did not even saw it. So a perfect wave in a sense. Sadly, probably a lot correct in this post. 5 minutes ago, smokes said: The Canucks better start investing on bringing in coaches to teach how to protect yourself on the ice.

Bruh, he shouldn't have to protect himself from somebody who forgot what league he was in and thought he was in WWE on ice. Hacks, whacks, cross checks etc are one thing. Getting body slammed to the ice, on your &^@#ing head is entirely another. That $&!# is DIRTY and he should be &^@#ing suspended and his god damn teeth handed to him next time we play them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Part of me hopes EP is out for a week as a precaution although officially he's "injured" to the media. Scared the crap out of the league making them suspend Matheson and show Travis Green and the rest of the team how pathetic and useless they really are without him. Lose 5 in a row 6-1 like last year.

Yup unless the league asks for in person and the player waives and asks for a phone. I'd be surprised if he got more than a game or two. As far as I know Matheson isn't any form of repeat offender or anything. (not saying I'm happy with that.)

There's a difference between this and say a Wilson hit. Wilson's hits don't usually look premeditated and he sometimes catches the player in the head. They aren't malicious...but I agree they should be suspendable. This play on Pettersson though was straight malicious and intent to injure. This type of play should be handed the most serious suspension. In the court system, there is mens rea and actus reus. Wilson has the actus reus but not necessarily the mens rea...Matheson has both and therefore should be considered way more serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turd Matheson should be getting 10 games for the throw to the ice. The league always punishes the result, not the deed. Having said that, a 1st infraction probably means less than 3 games. Matheson needs a message sent. Whatever the result, I expect to remain angry over this. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's almost 700 pages of discussion and speculation, and it's quite easy for anyone to go back and cherry-pick quotes to make themselves feel good. Stop it. This thread is for discussion, not constant 'SEE I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT THING I SAID A YEAR AGO AND YOU WEREN'T' posts. Isn't a discussion about stating ones opinion? People have different opinions, that is what creates discussion, that is what has made this a 700 page thread. Pointing out that your opinion was right is just validation. It's not trolling, it's not attacking. Peoples opinions get attacked all the time, which in point #1 is acceptable, but when a opinion comes to fruition, you're not allowed to bring it up??? Seems a bit hypocritical, I mean the "Do we need burrows thread" has been going on since 2008, and that running joke is purely based on the idea that "We were right and clutch you were wrong", You look at 5th post, who's opinion got attached and bashed page after page by a number of users and now he's not allowed to gloat after his concern comes true? If you're not allowed to hold people to their opinions, then this board will just fill up with people spamming nonsense with no care and in the end all that creates is a safe space for trolls to post freely. That plate of crow is what helps keep people in check.... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
