nux_win Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 39 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: The NHLPA is as much of a joke as the DoPS. You're right, it's as much on them for limiting the fines to such a small amount. But the real issue here is that he should have been suspended, especially since he's such a repeat offender and has got away with so much already. Both the NHL and the NHLPA are as greedy and corrupt as they come. As long as the money keeps flowing there isn't even an attempt to do the right thing. The disrespect for the players starts at the top, and filters down through everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league is corrupt. Parros is at the very least inept, but probably inept and corrupt. Edited May 4, 2021 by rekker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Is this really all he’s going to get? The fine and that’s all? No face to face player meeting or anything at all? That’s really ridiculous if he gets to play again next game, or again this season for that matter. Someone’s going to take a Marty McSorely golf swing at his noggin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Given the statement from the Ranger orginization; I expect a large monetary fine to be imposed on them. The league has a history of cracking down on anybody employed, by the NHL or teams in the league; that bring the league or it's officiating into disrepute. I said it earlier, Rangers should not show up for tommorrows game against the Caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Rags need to ice goons next game vs the Caps and just run all their quality players. Kuzzy, Backstrom, Carlson, Oshie, Mantha should all be fair game. I would say OV too but he’s a solid 240lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just now, gurn said: Tommorrow. I don’t like to see players not involved get hurt but the NHL set the bar low. Rags need to dish out their own justice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an American, original 6 and hugely wealthy team, they should have enough clout to back the league into doing the right thing. "Right thing"- hiring an outside agency to review and make recomendations to change the way the Dops runs. Other have pointed out, why aren't former Lady Bing, classy scorers allowed into dops? It seems you have to have been either a goon or enforcer to get a job there. What is Mike Bossy doing now? Or either of the Sedins? These guys took hooks, slashes and punches to the face for years and would be well aware of when the line is crossed.

Gurn Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If I'm the Capitals coach I keep Ovie and a few others out of the game tommorrow. A number of Rangers will figure " Why take on/out Wilson, just cripple Ovie; a star for a star.- Which is actually how I'd like to see the Canucks respond to dirty play. Run Hughes? We'll batter and bruise your best d man. Run Petey? Get ready to lose your best forward, whoever that might be. Goon on goon is useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it used to be and their is anecdotal evidence of such. Be it incidents I've heard of involving Yzerman and Bure, Wendel Clark and others. Thing is the Rangers are as weak and inept as the Canucks. This furthers my point to where the team needs a legit tough guy to help Zak. Other teams won't mess with our stars if they know we can mess with theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
