[Report] Evander Kane suspended 3 games

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

For me the DOPS is picking and choosing certain teams for suspensions and one of the dirtiest teams (BOSTON BRUINS) continually gets away with very suspendable infractions like that vicious cross check to the head by Z. Chara the other night in Montreal and OH LOOK! no suspension to this big goof.The refs totally bungled that call.

This shows definite favoritism to the Bruins for that play (and just so many more) was well worth a 2-5 game suspension and the DOPS  crapped the bed again on letting the Bruins continue their thug ways.

Let's face it any idiot can crosscheck people to the face but only a few can get away with it.

hopefully, but Evander Kane does not hold much sway.

The NHLPA should be the ones making this staement.

Coaches,manageers,Broadcasters, you know all those with other vested interests need to speak about this, but all are too afraid to do so.

Cleaning up the corruption should be a top priority for the players at the next CBA.  If the league refuses to conduct themselves appropriately, maybe it is time that player safety was handled either by the NHLPA or a third party who can actually be trusted to act with integrity.  The problem isn't Parros; the problem is the NHL as a whole is crooked.

Player safety needs to be sourced out to a 3rd party or some sort of committee made up of GM's perhaps?  

When the problem is corruption, allowing rival GMs to have a say is far too dangerous.  See Burke in 2011 for a relevant example with the Rome hit on Fakin Horton.  Outsource it.

There are ways around the danger.  For example you could use GM's from opposing conferences.  If you've got 10-15 voices saying 'this is how many games this play is worth' you can find a suitable average.  That being said, I think outsourcing it is the best option... both would be better than what we've got now.

He didn't say he should not have been suspended for the hit. Sounds more to me that he just wishes he knew where the line was. 

Well he should know he crossed the line. I think most reasonable fans would agree that was a suspension.

 

If He wants to make an argument he needs to provide examples of similar plays that went undisciplined.

 

That being said I completely agree with him that there are two sets of rule books. Good for him for calling them out, but in this case his suspension is completely warranted.

The current method used by the league is kind of like throwing darts at a wall while blindfolded, and whatever it hits, that’s the punishment.  

And Jake's elbow to Perrault's head was a dart that the league missed. Definitely needs to be some sort of universal minimum suspension for contact to the head so players will be better protected. I mean this city is still upset with Keith's elbow to Danny all those years ago because these types of head shots can be life altering, let alone end someone's playing career.

He 100% deserved a suspension for that hit. It was a dangerous play to the head. No defending that.  
 

But he’s also 100% correct about the DOPS. They throw the book hard at repeat offenders to make it look like they are doing something but then they let certain players get away with way worse offences, ex.  like Chara. That guy has done a lot of questionable hits and incidents but The DOPS refuses to ever punish him. It’s become a joke how bad it is.

Kane’s own fault for not being a Bruin.:)

Nice try.  But Jake didn’t move into Perrault, who is a know diver.  Perrault initiated the contact and then snapped his head back.  Completely different play.

Majored in economics, wrote his thesis on the westcoast longshoreman’s labour dispute, was on the all academic team 3 years in a row. No “mail In degree” or Arts degree...
