On a different note. I just LOVE the reaction from Hansen... This sequence should be played once a week to all youngsters starting out with the big club. Its called sticking together, no matter what, we won't back down.... If there is something that brings players or any other group of people together, its the knowledge of 'I got you back'... Just love that clip.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the new core emerging will fully have each others backs, and that the new captain will answer the bell on his own behalf. Gudbranson is already showing the kids how it's done with his protection of Markstrom against Twerpsteeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillfromVan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 From my point of view he is lucky he did not follow through aggressively. Maybe boarding but man he even squished away from follow through. Again have to say it was not an intent to injure and pin or slow down and keep close.

poetica Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like Guddy. I liked him in Florida and was genuinely floored when we got him. As a Van fan first, I'm glad we've resisted their offers to get him back. That being said, I'm not upset at the 1-game suspension plus the major. He did it. If that hit had been against one of our players we would have wanted a suspension, so we need to accept it when one of our players did it. Of course, like most Van fans I'm frustrated with the almost certainty that had the hit been *against* one of our players nothing would have happened. That video of the boarding by Kassian, despite distance traveled, not getting the same punishment only fuels that feeling that there are 2 sets of rules in the NHL, the one for teams the NHL doesn't care about like us and another for the favored teams. It's infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 1 Games seems fair. It was a pretty bad hit that they are trying to get out of the game. People would be losing it here if it had been one of our guys that got hit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Five and a game + 1 game wouldn't seem so bad if repeat offender Kassian didn't only get 2 mins on the same night after running from the center face off dot to board a guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this perception that we must trade him at the deadline. Maybe on paper his numbers don't add up, but he brings intangibles that we don't get from any other defenseman. He will be invaluable as we rebuild. Now that Tryamkin is gone we need his size more than ever. He's still pretty young and D men usually always improve with age.

apollo Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Funny thing though... Gudbranson is a good Canadian kid and everyone is standing up for him even though his bone headed play cost us 2 points last night. Had Edler done that... I guarantee most of you would be bashing him for costing us the game. No one is talking about how Guddy cost us the game. Don't get me wrong, I love Gud. Just saying it like it is though. He cost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many times have we been done by the Bruins and ben bitterly disappointed of no fight back. Yesterday Guddy made me happy... its not as if we are gonna win the cup this year.... PS. If Edler had done the same I would have been singing hallelujah. I have no issues with Edler at all. Just wish he would use his strength some more, cause he actually can.

It doesn't matter where the contact occurred, it is still a hit to a player with his back turned. Now hitting a player from the side, shoulder to shoulder is ok because the player has peripheral vision and can detect the hit and prepare himself. Gudbranson should've just went for the bear hug in that situation, it was a bad hit but I hope he doesn't stop the hitting. He is really good when he is hitting other players, just in this case he made a bad judgement call to hit him from the back. He tried to dodge him is what I was getting at, he hit the glass and went on 1 leg to try and dodge a bit, unfortunately his pelvis ended up hitting him which is also why Varr got launched the way he did. Claiming hit hit him directly in the numbers is completely inaccurate, he didn't hit him in the numbers at all, it was still a bad hit but the reason for it was not due to contact to the numbers but his lower body smashing into him.

xRussianrocket Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 To me thats not a hit worthy of a suspension at all. And im not biased if the same hit was against us it should be 2 minutes only. I miss aggressive and physical hockey. The on ice version of NHL hockey these days is so pussified, the game isnt even 1/10th as entertaining as it once was. Players dont even have to keep their head up or watch body positioning anymore because any infraction against them is penalized. I truly feel the game is more dangerous then it ever was before, because players dont skate with their heads on a swivel or protect themselves properly.

To do it to Vatrano though... a bottom 6 forward? It's not like he did it to Chara, Backes, Marchnose, Keith, Doughty... I think it was a dumb play. I rather he throws clean hits or if it's dirty to someone that really deserves it. Regardless, I like the way Guddy plays. It wasn't a good penalty to take though.

I don't have a problem with this hit AT ALL...they'll go sideways at times. When a guy changes position, it's hard to hold up. It's not like he "chose" a guy to hit....he was playing a physical game and I, for one, LOVE that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrago Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I don't like this obviously but I can live with it. It's hard to argue that the league handed out to stiff of a punishment here. Hope he learnt his lesson cause now the next time it will probably be 3 plus games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Granny Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 5 and a game was more than enough punishment. Shouldn't surprise anyone though. Have you read the leaked emails from the concussion case? This league is one of the most corrupt in all of sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
