New Jersey’s Miles Wood suspended two games for boarding Tampa Bay’s Vladislav Namestnikov.

About what I expected. 1-2 games TOPS.

And he got the Tippety-TOPS here for a FIRST-TIME OFFENDER.


Nothing to see here, folks. The "fun" is over.

So if I murder someone I should get 1 year in jail if I'm otherwise a good guy with no criminal record?

**** like that shouldn't matter. If you make an idiotic hit, you pay the price.

Have you not heard of first, second and third offenses in our legal system?

Wood's boarding is not equivalent to that of murder. Give me a break.

Because that is a totally similar situation. Did you even think before you typed that garbage out? What sort of logic (if any) did you use when you decided this was a logical retort?

2 games is fair. NHL needs to remove their heads from their ass and apply this more consistently though.

This hit by Tom Wilson last year which put Moore in the hospital didn't even have a hearing:

Should we be able to ban people from this forum for making idiotic posts?

 

[RomanEmpire]

Still an absolute joke that Forsberg was suspended for 3.

 

[AfroThunder396]

2 games is fair, time to close this up and move on.

 

[Dump Itch]

Daaang. Nam got rektd with wood.

If he had any history OR the Lightning Player was bleeding and/or was prone on the ice, then 2-3 games would be fair.

But he has no history and the player was fine. 1 Game suspension(at worst).

Why should an injury make the difference?

Offence is the same, penalize the offence not the outcome. It's the one of the major problems with DOPS, along with consistency and being too lenient.

This whole discussion is moot anyway.

He got 2 games which is fair, imo.

He has to now watch himself and not play like an idiot or he'd get more games(5+) next time.

Time to move on.

I didn't like the play of the Devils at all. They were talking shots all night.

The fact this wasn't called as a major and Sustr somehow got a roughing call for being cheap shotted shows how on point the refs were last night.

This is happening all too often, the refs just don't seem to know what they're doing.

 

[stampedingviking]

It was a bad hit. He deserved a penalty and a fine, but no suspension. He can play reckless sometimes but he's not a dirty player. Not the type to go maliciously trying to hurt anybody. But he does need to reign things in and play a smarter game

No suspension for a charge, jump and board right in the numbers? Nothing to do with the player being on the team you support, I suppose?

What in your book would deserve one?

 

[New Jersey]

if the league is consistent [which it isn't] he'll get two or three games max since he's not a repeat offender [yet] like marchand. five games is excessive.

ok nhl good decision

He didn't jump into him. Feet were on the ice when he made contact.

He deserves a penalty and a fine.

If he left his feet and targeted the head and used his elbows or stick, then yes that is suspension worthy. This is not.

two game suspension guy

fourtunately for us this thread says wood is terrible so we could/should be fine and beat the canes and jackets these next two games anyway, word up everyone

Contrary to "popular" belief, the Devils do get the short end of the stick with the Refs often as well.

Jackets game is going to be tough. I think the Devils can beat the Canes, though.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Holy hell that was bad, I would give him 5, but this will be his first suspension right? The league will give him 3

Damn so close...

 

[stampedingviking]

No way that Wood gets the same number of games that Marchand had gotten.

1 to 2 games(tops) is what I think will happen. Then he will serve them, return to the team afterward, and it will be business as usual again.

That's the problem, players aren't suspended long enough to make a difference, DOPS is far too lenient.

 

[stampedingviking]

I love how sustr got his ass kicked

Enough of these wannabe tough guys defending hard hits

I'd agree if the hit was clean, but this was anything but.

Nowhere near long enough.

Charge and jump? You missed the slash to the head, the cross check, drop kick, the flying elbow from the top turn buckle and the apparent murder...or attempt at least.

 

[glenwo2]

20 game suspension would be your solution, right?

No-tolerance does not exist nor will it ever be agreed upon by the NHLPA....EVER.
