-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Jared McIsaac suspended for one game -- will miss this game: Quote The IIHF Disciplinary Panel has issued a one-game suspension to Team Canada defenceman Jared McIsaac. McIsaac will miss his Canada’s final preliminary round game on New Year’s Eve against Russia. The suspension stems from a violation of Official Playing Rule 124 (Checking to the Head and Neck Area). The incident occurred at 48:08 in the 3rd period of Canada’s preliminary round game against the Czech Republic on 29th December. Czech forward Jachym Kondelik received a pass from his defensive zone but couldn’t control it and the puck glided towards the boards close to the red line. After Kondelik got the puck back on his stick, he skated along the boards attempting to enter the Canadian defensive zone. Shortly before the blue line, Kondelik saw McIsaac arriving, and chipped the puck via the board into the Canadian zone. At the same time McIsaac, seeing that Kondelik did not have full control of the puck, changed his skating direction to move towards the boards to stand up at his blue line and prevent Kondelik from coming into the Canadian zone. Skating in a slightly lower position… moving backwards towards Kondelik and keeping eye contact him…McIsaac prepared to deliver his body check. McIsaac delivered his body check extending his body in an upward motion at Kondelik, resulting in contact being made with his left shoulder at Kondelik’s head and neck area. Based on all facts ascertained, the Disciplinary Panel determined that, because McIsaac drove and extended his body upward toward Kondelik’s head, his actions were extremely dangerous, created a serious risk of injury to Kondelik and violated IIHF Official Rule 124 (Checking to the Head and Neck Area). A correct check without elevation could easily been executed towards this taller player. The Disciplinary Panel determined that because McIsaac violated Official Playing Rule 124 when checking Kondelik, he shall be sanctioned as follows: Suspension for one game; specifically, game #19 on 31 December 2018 at 17:00 Russia vs Canada. McIsaac will be eligible to return for the playoff round. https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2019/wm20/news/8652/mcisaac-suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Should be an interesting game. Too l bad McIsaac is suspended. Hopefully the boys step up and get the job done. The Russians will certainly keep them on their toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duodenum Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Russia has a weak team this year. Canada should win this comfortably if they bring their A game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely have far superior goaltending. I have concerns about the soft play of our D though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really pounced on Swiss mistakes, especially the pp. D will need to be sharp and avoid mental mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragon23 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hopefully Team Canada can give us something to cheer about today.
