Kassian is a repeat offender, and his reaction is one of a guy who knew it all along. But it's the Oilers and the team that has Mcdavid is good for business in the NHL. Anyone who justifies this hit but thinks Gudbranson's is worse is huffing glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with a 1 or 2 game suspension for gudbranson. But as of now kassian doesn't even have a hearing. Not even a word that dops is looking at it. That is what gets me. The inconsistency.

I'm still pissed they called back a goal because Linden's toe in the crease in 94. Then in the Dallas Buffalo series, Hull parks in the crease, but hey it's a good goal.

If you look at it, he brings his arm up, so that he's not hitting him with full impact of his body. That looks like trying to let up to me.

Tre Mac Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Homerism aside that was a dumb penalty and I don't mind if he gets 2 or less games because of it. C'mon people, what if someone hit our precious Boeser like that? You would all want supplemental punishment handed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to say I don't see it that way upon another few views. i think what you are referring to is Gud making sure his own stick stays down. im a big real GUD supporter so it's no detracting for me. sucks to maybe have him gone but imo it's a legit hit from behind.

What's dumb is if you put on a Canucks jersey, you have to play cleaner, and more above board than anyone else, just because of bad optics.

Goal:thecup Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Did any of the refs call it right away? From what I saw and thought I heard from Shorty and Garrett was that the refs looked at each other and at the Bruin's face before making any call at all. When he returned to the ice, I could see his face was pretty beat up, so if they saw blood coming from a couple spots, they might have reacted more to that than to the infraction itself. I know I thought he was ok until I saw him after his return to the ice. That side angle was damning in that Real Gud seemed to launch himself a bit into it at the last moment. This was not readily apparent to me on the first angle. This could also lead the league to more severe punishment. Much as I love Gudbranson and what he brings to the team, he has to be more careful, at least until the action/reaction boils over, when that happens, it's on! The inconsistency on the instigator rule is ridiculous. Perhaps the NHL is only pretending to want to take fighting out of the game. Perhaps their research shows great fan enjoyment from this politically incorrect (and legally questionable) part of the game. Guddy didn't look like he really wanted the fight but the Bruin did not give him a choice, and by not making the instigator call, the refs encourage fighting. Of course this does not matter in the previous game with Dorse getting the instigator, because he is a Canuck. The inconsistancy is atrocious and so foul that it leads to the belief that the Canucks get the worst treatment in the league, all the time. This belief is reinforced, in my opinion (of course), when we see new players come to the team and look dazed and confused when they get punishments they would not have received previously. If Pronger had played for Vancouver, he probably would had been permanently suspended, even possibly dragged into court. End of the day, Guddy's guilty, and I do not expect any such leniency whatsoever. These are the same biased people that handed out suspensions to lambs like Edler and Hansen, and nothing for Moore. I expect at least 2 games maybe more, and only because (according to CDC) Gudbranson has not been suspended previously or it would be more. And you know, the League has to make sure every Canuck who shows any physcial dominance gets a record asap so they can realy nail them next time.

Normally I agree but in this case that was a recipe for a concussion or worse a broken neck. People can't bring up the SCF 7 years ago, totally different people in the DoPS, I'll give them a chance to show they treat everyone the same and not as moronic or corrupt as their predecessors. Here's hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Oh DOPS, what will you spin on your wheel of punishment this time? Don't forget to add 1-2 games for being a Canuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I agree with @Goall:thecup, He had him lined up all the way and launched into it at the last second. Also was done in that dangerous part of the ice where is a couple feet off of the boards. Kassian was more to the side and did not launch off of his feet into it. Would think Major and game would be fair but would not be too upset with up to 2-3 game suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It was an illegal hit, zero doubt. Directly from behind with time and room to avoid the hit. But a suspension? Seems a little harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
