Confirmed with Link: Kadri Suspended 3 Games

[Trapper]

Time for the "own rentals" and 2nd round pick to step up.
Right?

 

[LeafSteel]

Didn’t see 3 coming. Thought 2 at the most.

Can’t he appeal it?

 

[The CyNick]

Up to Matthews to step his game and carry the team.

 

[Cor]

Hopefully this pisses off the room.

Use this as a turning point

 

[dsf]

Ridiculous. This is not a 5-6 game suspension in the regular season. 2 was fair given previous history. Unfortunately this will sway the series too much. Bye Leafs.

 

[yubbers]

Called it. This is on you Babs for not playing Martin.

 

[Pi]

f*** the NHL. f*** it. Finish every f***ing check on Marchand every single time the puck is even visibly near him.

The refs let the game get out of hand and Kadri is the one that pays for it.

 

[Ratboy]

Oh well. Lost our 2nd best centre because he RACKS A DISCIPRINE.

This is disastrous.

Hopefully Marleau can fill in or we may be right f***ed.

 

[MorrisSmit89]

this is ridiculous.. 3 games is nuts

 

[Leafs27]

Good ol' consistent NHL!

 

[Warden of the North]

This is me shocked

I thought two max

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

Thought its usually 2 reg season to 1 playoff ratio. Does this hit make it 6 games in the reg season? Especially since he hasn't been suspended in the last 18 months, he should not be deemed a 'repeat offender'. Am I missing something?

 

[TakeTheBody]

We're inter coursed.

 

[Steven1562]

Overkill but Kadri has a history and should know better. Our series is on life support now imo. Let's hope we don't get swept.

 

[BTP]

3 goddamn games, you gotta be kidding me.

im furious

 

[Paradoc]

Losing Kadri is big. I don’t see us winning the series without him especially if we end up losing game 2.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Could be the end of his season, theoretically.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

So this is would be 6+ during the regular season? Wow.

I would've given him 5 games in the regular season. That was a really, really dirty hit.

It's one thing to try to hit a player from the side and fail (Johansen and the other guy from last night), but it's another to blatantly go charging straight hip-to-head against the boards.

 

[mclaren55]

For those blaming the refs or the league, do you know what personal accountability is? Kadri did this to himself and his team. Dumb move, not the leagues fault or the refs.

 

[1specter]

Old man Marleau needs to step up now. Getting paid 6M, show us you are worth that much, even if it's just for a few games

 

[SprDaVE]

We won games without Matthews and Rielly. Teams have won without some of their good players.

Relax a little.

 

[nobody]

Well boys. This series got a little bit tougher for us but no worries. We gotta fight through adversity to get where we want to eventually get. For those of you panicking let's not forget that we beat the Bruins this year while missing Matthews in all those games. Ofc these Bruins are a little bit better than they were before but they're not unbeatable.

On the bright side, this will force Babs to not match his lines like he would have. This line matching bullshit is really killing us. Play to our identities and lets take the game to the booins.

I'm not worried about this. Naz made a dumb decision and he'll pay the consequence.

 

[Pi]

Could be the end of his season, theoretically.

Let's hope not, the Leafs will bounce back. Just get this back to Toronto 1-1. We're a resilient bunch. If we can put up 105 points with Matthews missing 20 games, we can win without Kadri as well. Just need to be smarter with the puck. I am sure the team will rally back.

 

[KPower]

f*** you Parros

 

[LeafingTheWay]

No surprise. The league is a joke at the best of times. One made sense, two was pushing it, and three is a joke. But nothing new there.

How did one make sense? If any of our players got hit like that we would be calling for a 10 game suspension (because we over exaggerate).
