Around the League 2018-19 v2

At least their coach understands timeouts.

 

[North]

Oh man, that sucks. I'll have to look for a replay on it. Think there'll be a call from the DoPS?

I don't think there will be. While the throw down was dirty, I don't think they'll find it suspension worthy.

Geebus, this Flames-Avs games is a clinic on how not to play defence.

Petterson, you could argue, was in a vulnerable position being off balance and was in no way to protect and/or brace himself. As I said to the other poster, I think there'll be a suspension coming. A couple of games at least.

I'm not saying I don't want one, I do, it's just with the wheel of justice the NHL has, who knows.

Most Brodie shifts are clinics on how not to play defense, up there with Matt Benning.

I was told him and Giordano were to challenge Seabrook and Keith in their prime.


LOL

Isn't that the truth. Hopefully player safety sees it like we do and feels there's enough there to support one on Matheson.

This one was hard to watch. Schultz is going to be on IR for a long time...

Watching it bend like that almost makes me sick.

Oh there will be a suspension. But the PA will appeal it down to a jay walking ticket, and he'll be playing next game

 

[RegDunlop]

Habs almost beat the Pens, sens winning, Canucks. WTF i thought these were the s**t teams?!!
They look much better than we do.

 

[Soundwave]

If I was a Canucks fan I would be livid, total open season on their kids, Boeser last year, now Petterson. There needs to be a response from the team otherwise other squads are going to go hard at their kids.

Hand best the Pens in a shootout.

The PA pisses me off with this stuff. Rather than worrying about the members who get injured they work to reduce the punishment of the people who do these shitty things.

Jesus - must be getting old! Watched the shootout too!

We have this guy... from Vancouver and he can protect all the kids for the next 5 years for just 6 million per year. If there was ever a time. Chia better be on the phone with Benning.

Yup
They're very quick to defend the infraction or the player on the offensive side, but do nothing for the receiving player.
I was also referring to the Watson case. I find it ludicrous.

 

[ujju2]

Man that sucks for Petterson and the Canucks. Dirty play, should be suspended for sure.

I don't always agree with Brian Burke but he was absolutely right about the decision to appeal Watson's length of suspension. It was a horrible decision to do so.

 

[A91]

Debrincat out there dominating for Chicago.
Love me Tyler Benson but it stings seeing him do so well. Wouldve been a perfect winger for McDavid for years and years. Good for him.

I don't get why they thought Roussel would seek retribution. Isn't he more of a pest who plays on the edge rather than an enforcer?

Agree
It was also very stupid for the optics of the league, team and player.
I mean what are the Preds going to do now? Good luck in the PR department if they play him mid Nov when suspension is over.
An absolutely stupid move.

 

[Belieber]

He's a guy that needs protection and back up himself. Plus he's coming off an offseason concussion himself so he probably shouldn't be fighting this year.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Looks like after the timeout I'm Calgary, they are playing a better game. Who knew
