The league traditionally is pretty light on this kind of bench stuff as long as you don't leave it to fight on ice we have seen plenty of this over the years with no supplemental discipline whatsoever.

Got to love the "Calvert aggressively came toward the bench" as to the reason why all the Red Wings players wanted to pummel him. hahahah

Avs fans don’t really pay attention to “over the years”
There is just 95-2006/7 and 2017-present

Are you trying to say that the entire thing could just be blown out of proportion?
GET OUT!
Was the uppercut a little over the top? Yea
Honestly though, I got no problem with Bert. When your future captain has a guy tied up for you, you have to get a shot in. Good bonding moment.

I still like how Bertuzzi pummeled Jensen at camp all those years ago injuring him and they still have each other's back in the NHL. Jensen assisted on Bert's first goal, too.

I just came on to say that Bertuzzi was a complete boss this game.. this is the kind of hockey I miss. Little Bert punching that guy on the bench is the kid of grit and moxy I want to see. It’s great hockey! They were taking liberties with our skilled players and our team answered the call. Bravo, bravo.
Don’t worry, I’m sure he will get his hand slapped... so that all the enlightened(?) people complaining about it will feel better.

Concussion protocol is not for just head shots, it is for anytime a player appears dazed. Whether it is from a hit or fall. I was more surprised AA wasn't sent.

Rantanen's head bounced off the ice when Larkin smoked him too. There isn't a whole lot of consistency on who the spotter takes.
Blashill admitting they tell guys never to grab for their head probably raised a few eyebrows in Toronto/New York.
Regarding the Burtuzzi-Calvert bench dance, it depends on whether the NHL looks more at intent or actual result.
Calvert missed with the spear. It looks like Bertuzzi punched the top of the helmet. He certainly didn't connect with Calvert's face because the result would have been much different.

Well they dont play again until March 5th. I'm hoping Witkowski is dressed for that one lol
I dunno if the intensity fades after a game like that, I have a feeling Calvert (who is a bit of a rat himself) will do something to Bertuzzi, as he should.

Glad I missed this one. Apparently I'm in the minority for not wanting to watch that type of play, but that's ok. The kids can keep playing well, and this tough stretch of schedule should help improve draft stock.
Dear Santa,
Please let lil'Bert not get suspended, or at the most get 1 game...I really - REALLY wanna see lil'Bert in action against the Maple Leafs this Thursday...I'm hoping he welcomes back that weiner - err - nice guy William Nylander back to the NHL with a thunderous body check, and be on him like a pitbull on a porkchop throughout the game.
Your pal,
FMichael

Definitely not the smartest thing for Blashill to say.
Honestly though when guys get hit and fall to the ice grabbing their head it looks to me mostly like they're faking. Maybe it's unfair of me to say but when I've had my bell rung my instinct is not to grab my head but to try and figure out where the hell I am and get my bearings. It's not the same as grabbing your hand after taking a slash to the wrist. You're whole world is disoriented.

With DoPS only wanting to talk with Bertuzzi, he will probably get a couple of games. His chasing Marchand around the ice on Saturday won't help his cause.

I guess I'm old man, because while I think that was a dirty play by Bert, I'm shocked at how many people act like these type of bench altercations never happen in hockey. There's people in the thread on the main forum saying how it hasn't happened in 10 years. Another one saying there should probably be a rule change to treat this the same as a guy leaving a bench to fight.
Taking the glove off before the hit, and then putting it right back on, is what probably what crossed the line for the DoPS.
A punch thrown right after the attempted spear would probably been ignored.

Bingo bango. By taking off the glove and immediately putting it right back on he knew what he was doing. If he kept his glove on nobody really cares, that is the kind of stuff that goes on that Lazlo is talking about.

Well if there's a silver lining to all of this it's that it's reminded me just how stupid people can be in the general hockey forum and that I shouldn't waste time there.
This was a dirty play by Bertuzzi that unsurprisingly got him a deserved 2 game suspension. But so many people denying that Calvert was trying to spear him in spite of all the video evidence is as baffling as it is hilarious.

It happened last week with Minnesota and Winnipeg. It is the removing of the glove that got him.
That looks like an in-house feed, jumbotron shot. Lesson learned I wouldn't share my in-house shot with the league. They put the scoreboard camera there primarily for interviews on the bench at intermissions, post-game, and occasionally NHL Network interviews. From here on out ours is tragically broken should they ask someone at LCA if I am the Wings...
