Glad you aren’t in charge. Abuse of power? I don't see it that way at all. If you let players get away with accusing you of bias, then every player who gets supplemental discipline from here on in, will think it's fair game to make the same accusation. It's one thing to question someone's judgement, but when you question their integrity, you've stepped way across the line. It's really no different than saying a ref made a call against you, because he had money on the other team. I'm glad you're not in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you suggest should happen to someone like Kelly Sutherland who could very reasonably be accused of having money on the game? The NHL simply has done nothing to earn the benefit of the doubt and has no one but themselves to blame for being called out. Entirely reasonable to question integrity when the league has none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that could be "reasonably" be claimed at all. As I said earlier, incompetence is a case that can be made, but you're making an accusation of corruption which is just something you're basing on a bias of your own. You're welcome to your opinion, but I certainly don't share it. I suppose my question is: If you believe that the league is "corrupt", why do you watch?

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Good on him for calling them out, probably going to get a fine or longer suspension but it's worth it, the Sharks are finished anyway and someone needs to bring light to this, especially before the playoffs when the rulebook changes. A 3rd party would be the most objective way of doing it but I do wonder what the outcome would be if there was a players poll? Obviously impossible to perform and far too much subjectivity, but the players themselves are the ones being hit and want to be protected so I wonder what they would like the suspensions to be.

The entire sharks team loves to go head hunting with their elbows. First Karlsson now Kane. This is as bad as it looks. But one thing I will say that happens to coincide with Kanes complaining is that there is a lack of consistency. Like that elbow on Motte by Karlsson or the late hit on Petey.

canuck2288 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) So news out of the Montreal has the ref telling Gallagher to “go $&@“ himself” will the NHL punish him like any respectable pro sport organization would? Nope? They will assign him playoff games as a reward the league will however fine Julien for his post games comments regarding the reffing that's how the NHL https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/platform/amp/2020/2/16/21139531/brendan-gallagher-ref-incident-montreal-canadiens-dallas-stars-nhl-has-a-serious-officiating-problem Edited February 16, 2020 by canuck2288 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job has nothing to do with disciplining people for what they say. This was a comment he made off the ice. George can’t do $&!#. He is in charge of player safety and what they do on the ice. Kane has every right to say what he wants. If you want to bend over and follow the rules of the people who ARENT in charge, go for it. Do you let the mailman censor what you say? Does the guy at the grocery store who sold you some milk get to tell you how you have to use it? If George doesn’t want players speaking out against him, maybe he should try to do even a half decent and consistent job. DOPS is a total joke and everyone knows it. KANE isn’t close to the first person to say he doesn’t know what is a suspension or not! Edited February 16, 2020 by drummerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more players are going to start taking revenge against those other guys who are not getting punished fairly by the league. I can definitely see Big Z getting his knee taken out. Guys will be targeting his knees, and using the excuse, “he’s so tall, that’s where my hip contacts him”. And when it happens, I will laugh and watch it over and over again as his broken body is stretchered off the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who that would be....maybe Daly, maybe Bettman himself. And no, Kane does not have the right to say whatever he wants. Coaches get fined for criticizing refs all the time. (In fact I'm betting Julien gets fined, even though he was right) What Kane said goes beyond criticizing a decision. He's made it into something personal and the league cannot let that stand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
