Not mad. Stupid play.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Atleast one too many

 

[nucks88]

Is this the fastest suspension in League history or what?

 

[Vector]

I have no clue, and neither does the DOPS, what the standard should be. Nothing makes any sense from Parros.

Not upset and don’t really hold an opinion. Would be a waste of energy given the decision maker.

Really rushed it out as fast as they could. Which makes some sense given the game tomorrow.

If Zadorov got two, what’s Rielly getting?

That will be a very interesting one.....what he did can not be given any benefit of the doubt, what Zadorov did can be judged either way....I am with you that fretting about it is wasted energy .....

 

[Canucker]

This is a dumb league with dumb people making dumb decisions. Dumb.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Relieved it's no more than 2 games.

 

[AzNightmare]

Who's Zudorov. lmao.

 

[MS]

I have no idea what the standard is.

 

[ghostingtaro]

if zadorov gets 2 games, reilly needs 5 games

He's apparently going to get double pay for the rest of the season for trying to uphold a largely unknown and seemingly arbitrary unwritten rule.

The league and DOPS working OT on the weekend with a same day decision when it comes to the Canucks

 

[racerjoe]

I don't think the point of contact was the head... don't get me wrong head contact was made... but it looks pretty shoulder to just in the reply the showed.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Happy Friedman gets some games. I really like him.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Same day decision???

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

I like him too. He was solid when he was in.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I like him too. He was solid when he was in.

I dont get why he never got to play again. He was playing really well imo. Foote and Tocchet obv like size on D.

Same day decision???

Well they play in the morning so I assume that's why.

If you watch the replay in the NHL video, the initial contact is clearly shoulder to head, and he pretty much only catches his head.

I'm fine with this. It's a dumb play. Players need to know by now that those across-the-body type hits coming from the back side on a player who is leaning forward pretty much always end up with head contact. You're trying to change the angle to catch his chest instead of the back, but due to the angle and positioning there's always little-to-no target to hit without cranking the guy in the head. It's just not a smart play to make.

I'm sure I'll probably be mad next week when the exact same play gets a fine or whatever, but I'm totally okay with this suspension. Don't think Zadorov was headhunting here, but he needs to know better.

$5000 fine
