Borowiecki to have phone hearing for boarding: Suspended 2 games

[Micklebot]

Kinda surprised given there was no injury.

It was a dumb play. Injury shouldn't dictate whether it was acceptable or not.

I have no problem with this.

So, I'm ok with you're line of thinking. I just have a hard time understanding what does dictate whether there should be a suspension or not.

Boro was reckless. Could have caused an injury. That's pretty much the case with any hit when there's a 5 min maj, and most of the time, there's no supplementary discipline unless it had an injury, or multiple issues (like interference and reckless hit, or hit to the head and boarding).

Heck, we have the whole Price going nuts and throwing blocker shots, no hearing. Price wasn't being reckless, he was being malicious. Were exactly is the line?

If this is worthy of supplemental discipline, why aren't countless other things?

 

[edguy]

Wreckless play yes. I dont anticipate a suspension though

 

[Larionov]

He's going to sit a game - take it to the bank.

 

[Big Papi]

i've been surprised for the most part how he's come along this year, he certainly has games where he reverts back to his old ways. Reckless Act, hope he learns his lesson

 

[Micklebot]

He's going to sit a game - take it to the bank.

Agreed. Very easy for the DOPS to hand him out a game. Nobody will complain. Not Boro, not the team, not it's fans.

Whether it's deserved relative to other incidents that didn't end up getting supplementary discipline, or rather whether those other ones deserved something, that's another question.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

I think he gets a game. Although I only saw this hit today... and I imagined something worse by the comments on this forum to be honest.

 

[ToastrStutzle]

I'm kind of surprised he decided to hit him in the numbers when he kinda skated towards his left shoulder and could have easily hit him on his side instead.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

I wouldn't mind a 54 game suspension.

 

[Knave]

I hope he gets a suspension. His giant ego needs a check. The guy loved to talk about other players (skilled ones) being selfish last year... a 5 minute major on a hit that he absolutely could have avoided making is the most selfish thing I've seen on this team in years.

I get people want to say 'oh well he's bottom pairing' and I agree - he won't be the difference between us being good or bad - but I want the guy to go. I dislike everything about him. His smug smile, his stupidity, everything. He's not a glue guy in any sense of the word like Chris Neil is and what he provides is little to nothing. The fact he's been a huge help to the other team the last 3 games says it all.

Amazing that Morrow and Boro rhyme.

According to some HF users we don't have any player to replace him...

Apparently Chabot, Cleasson or Englund would cost us more games...

Probably in less then 7:22 too

OFFICIALLY SUSPENDED FOR 2 GAMES (on the phone now with some ex-hab calling to add 52 additional games)

Really would love to see the Lazar concussion video...

 

[God Says No]

I'm surprised. Price gets nothing and he gets 2 games. I don't mind it, just super surprised.

 

[El Diego]

I'm surprised. Price gets nothing and he gets 2 games. I don't mind it, just super surprised.

In a vacuum just looking at the facts of the incidents I agree I am surprised, but in context I am not surprised one bit. Boro is an easy guy for the league to make an example of, so to speak.

I disagree with not minding. I mind that it wasn't longer.

 

[Agent Zub]

Boro is a meathead. Wish it were more games.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

No name player making a dangerous hit on a good young player.

He had no chance at not getting suspended.

If it was the other way around there wouldn't have been anything.

 

[Knave]

Yeah the Department of Player Safety is a joke. I don't disagree with 2 games - but we all know if other players are involved, this is a fine or 1 game at worst.

Until they get their act together (and consistently punish things) - I'll keep bringing this up in every suspension thread.

 

[Cat Herder]

Wish it would have been forever.. I think he is a liability more than he isnt

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Boro is a nobody player so not surprised. Price is a star, it's a different set of rules for different type of players.

You and I have similar views on this. The Department of Player Safety needs significant improvement and must clarify its policies and practices to ensure that there is fairness and impartial application of those policies and practices.

No DPL reaction to that hit. Why not? DPL is inconsistent in its application of discipline. DPL needs to be improved greatly.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

2 games is what I had guessed. I hope we get a chance to have a good look at Englund

 

[Six Assets]

Dumb play by Toffoli. I personally don't have a problem with Boro's hit. Still pretty reckless.
