If he wasnt a terrible player he wouldnt feel the need to run around like a goon. He was a real tough guy vs the flyers going after big guys like Konecny and Ghost. Typical trash.

Terrible player with 16 goals on the season while playing 13 minutes a night. Those are some interesting standards you have.

And for the record, it was a stupid hit that should probably cost him a couple of games.

I’d give it 9 games. That’s intent to injure. No reason to do what he did. It wasn’t an accident, he came from a long way.

Leaping into someone's numbers at full speed is asking for trouble. Carry on deflecting.
The only one deflecting (and doing a horrific job of it) is you.

I'm not 100% sure if you honestly think the flying elbow that concussed Johansson and has still kept him off the ice isn't as bad as that board or if you're just hopping on the troll train, but judging by the rest of your posts I think you may actually be that daft. Like I said, adorable!

Running a player from behind and leaping into the numbers could be seen as premeditated given the time he had to alter his method. Pretty despicable.

It looks like he had one skate on the ice when contact was initiated so this isn't jumping into the hit.

It's a bad hit that should warrant a suspension but equating this with Marchand's elbow is hysterical. Marchand got off light with 5 games on that one, especially given his history.

Fact set:
No injury occured, a 2 minutes minor was the called on the play, offending player has no prior history.

A fine at the absolute most.

But I personally don't even think it calls for that.

No it wasn’t. Mojo most likely doesn’t play again this year thanks to Marchand.
If you judge actions on result I suppose.

Hypothetically could have been a Jones on Bergeron incident and you'd change your tune?

Elbows are dangerous and scummy but running a player from behind is just as dangerous.

No history he'll get 1 or 2. Dumb play but he'll learn.

I think that's what he'll get....AT WORST. 1 game or 2.

I think since it's his first offence and has no history of it, he might get just 1 game and a hefty fine.



OR


He could get no games and a Stern Finger-wagging warning from the NHL basically telling him that they have him on their radar : "Watch your ass, Mr. Wood" :sarcasm:

Yeah....while we're at it, let's suspend Taylor Hall and Nico Hischier for the rest of the season as well. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:



9 games....my ass.


He'll get 1(maybe 2). TOPS.
