Andrew Shaw Disciplinary Hearing (suspended 3 pre-season games)

[Mr Positive]

Losing pre-season games doesn't matter to him, but there is some consequence to Shaw in that this adds to his dossier and will affect future suspensions.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I miss Shaw

 

[M2Beezy]

Thats brutal only 3 games???? Talk about that Montreal discount with the league

Thats one of the worst hits and he planned it so far in advance. What a joke

 

[Kitchener Boy]

Disgusting how Habs fans were cheering him on. So much hypocrisy.

The lily white story isn't true?

[Rebels57]

Schenn gets suspended for regular season games for a hit on Oshie in the playoffs.

Shaw gets suspended for pre-season games for a far worse and pre-meditated "revenge" hit.

Okay.

 

[Lilou]

LOL this is terrible. he intentionally threw a dirty hit and celebrated afterwards. He should have gotten 5 games minimum.

"One of the worst hits"? This was your run of the mill boarding major and there was no injury.

How much salary do you lose for a 3 preseason game suspension?

No salaries are paid during the preseason, so he won't lose any salary, just the games.

 

[M2Beezy]

So this clown doesnt lose any money and wont play in 3 pre season games where he probs would of only played in 1 of them anyways. Yeah this punk will do it again. What a joke

 

[me2]

Pretty much no penalty at all. Hilarious.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I saw three games and thought hmm thats ok I guess, BUT three preseason games is a complete joke

If you go by league standard, he could have gotten 1 game. He didn't target the head and no injury happened due to the injury, so it's not like he should've gotten a lengthy suspension by league standard.

 

[MikeyMike01]

3 preseason games? That's it? Guess the NHL wants the preseason to be a free-for-all try-to-injure-whoever no-punishment event?

Thats the message

Things could get very ugly if theres no consequences

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I guess I just assumed the suspension was for three regular season games which seemed about right. Exhibition games? Ridiculous.

"One of the worst hits"? This was your run of the mill boarding major and there was no injury.

I'd assume the poster meant one of the worst types of hits -- a premeditated hit from behind on a defenseless player. Tough to debate that.

 

[lomiller1]

Pretty much no penalty at all. Hilarious.

Penalty? It's more like a paid vacation.

 

[SenzZen]

I'm sure he feels sorry about it and learned his lesson.

Give him a break, guys.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

No salaries are paid during the preseason, so he won't lose any salary, just the games.

That'll teach him!

We can't read what he meant, only what he wrote.

 

[ottawahabs]

Terrible hit, and the suspension is too small. Sure, the player wasn't injured, but it's clear the outcome could've been much worse. This is exactly the type of hit the NHL says they want to eliminate.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

We can't read what he meant, only what he wrote.

It's unfortunate that this logic applies to suspensions as well.
