It states in the video He has been suspended 3 times previously in his 11 year career... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Definitely worth a suspension, and not a good look for a captain and leader of a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That should have been 4, minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That seems more like a play you see in the minor leagues or juniors that an 11 year pro should have the discipline to get out of his system. Glad the suspension was called on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_of_94 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The NHL got it right. There’s never a reason to suspend anymore than a game or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckpuckluck1 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Wow, that was not good. CDC would have lost its S#!T if that was a Canuck. You just need to know when its not a good time to lay someone out. Im all for hitting and making a statement ( Myers pasting Keith was AWESOME) but this hit just isn't cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Not sure if it's because I've seen this play so many time without too much punishment (*cough* Raymond-Boychuk), but I honestly think that was a harsh suspension, based on past decisions. Like I said with the McIllrath hit, I hope the NHL is consistent and continue to hand down these kind of suspension going forward, but on the other hand, this is the start of the season and the tough line usually soften as the season goes on. 2 games in October aren't has precious as 2 games in March/April or playoff time, where these plays usually labelled as "playoff hockey". I'm all for harsher suspension, but it's just a matter of time until a savage cross-check to the face only gets a fine. Which IMO is probably one of the worst, premediated, non-hockey assault there is and yet is often overlooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
