Borowiecki to have phone hearing for boarding: Suspended 2 games

[Pierre from Orleans]

He feels theres a need to skate from neutral zone to inside the offensive zone full speed to make a hit from behind.

 

[TB1299]

I havent hated a player this much since Cowen.

We need to replace him asap.

 

[Alex1234]

So I guess we'll see now if he's so irreplaceable

Agree with the suspension, but the DOPS is still very inconsistent.

A similar hit involved Lazar against the Penguins, but there was no call on the play. Lazar ended up with a concussion.

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.

This is one of the funniest posts I've read on here. Clearly you must sit in the room to know that he provides nothing right? I'm also pretty sure immediately after the game he took responsibility for putting the team in a **** spot. I get you'd rather have other players play instead of him but really this is just a garbage post.

I'm trying to think of another player who *****es to the media like a 5 year old about how he is playing the right way and "the other guys aren't" and coming up with a blank.

Why? Because it's counterproductive and idiotic. Your post isn't counterproductive.

True, boro's hit was harder, but the pens hit was a legit check from behind, Lazar had no way of knowing it was coming.

Boro's goal should be to be as unnoticeable as possible. I don't get how his mantra isn't "try not to do too much". Anyone who has played sports at any semi-competitive level knows this -- if you're a top level player you need to dominate, if you're a lower level player just don't **** up and switch off.

I think part of the problem is that he has been rewarded for boneheaded plays and honestly believes that's his meal ticket.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

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.

It's Boro. Everything he does gets blown way out of proportion.

Who, on this board or from Sens brass has ever claimed that he was?

Fine then, but it still involved a hit from behind and Lazar did not know it was coming. Still a dirty hit as this in my books.

NHL cares so much about concussions. If they really want to stop concussions, they need to prevent hits like the one on Lazar.

Surprised it didn't even get a penalty at least. I thought hitting from behind was a penalty?

Haha true. Also since it's Boro I don't really care he got 2 games.

Although the DOPS is so inconsistent!

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Rides his head down to the ice... weeeee!

 

[Tundraman]

I laughed at this one:

Someone wrote in to TSN1200 this morning and said the Sens should appeal the Boro suspension. They should insist it be at least 10 games!

So one of the hits from behind results in a concussion and no hearing whereas the second results in no injury and a suspension for 2 games. Very inconsistent and bewildering. Boro deserves the suspension. So does the player who hit Lazar from behind.

The reason that the NHL DOPES (or is it spelled DOPS I can never remember) didn't punish Brian Dumoulin for his hit on Lazar is because every Sens player on the ice at the time jumped him and pummeled him and then he had to pay the price the rest of the game by taking late, dirty hits and fighting Neil and Boro. The Sens have a tough pack mentality when one of their own is gooned. The NHL DOPES felt he suffered enough.

Boro got off easy no one challenged him right after the hit or even later. He took no late, dirty hits and didn't have to fight anyone so of course the NHL DOPES had to take action against him.

EDIT:
Oh yes I forgot.. likely the biggest difference is one team's shortened 4 letter nickname starts with a "P" and the other with an "S"

Boro did fight. I think he even fought twice. Once after the initial hit and one immediately after he got out of the box from the major

What can I say. Sarcasm is hard to explain sometimes.

Everything is opposite of what happened!

The post is as much a knock on the Sens as the Pens and the DOPES!!!

Was he being facetious? I can't recall, but I don't think the Sens went after Dumoulin. Maybe a scrum but no fights.

Perhaps he's suggesting we should have attacked him to prove how dirty it was...

 

[Knave]

DOPES is pretty good but I think I prefer the much more childish - Derpartment of Player Safety. In any case - it's pretty clear the NHL doesn't give a **** about safety and punishing dangerous plays. They care about keeping fans happy - and if that means suspending guys like Borowiecki while not punishing better players and players from bigger markets... just part of the price of doing business.

Add those damn sarcastic emoticons next time

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

This is a huge problem. For an organization such as the NHL, there needs to be consistency and fairness on important issues like player safety.
