GDT: Avs vs Isles l What I Learned From The Mighty Ducks: Run The Score, Pop Your Collar

[Avs]

It was a pretty nasty and stupid slash. Where's this news coming from?

Nhl app on my phone

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

So does the in person hearing mean he's definitely being suspended? Puts a real dent in his Olympic vacation, I'm sure.

I never imagined he'd be suspended for that. It was dumb, but Nielson was right back out there a few minutes later.

 

[The Kingslayer]

how about they review hartnells knee on a young superstar? its only the second time this season macks been kneed. how bout that wife thief?

Per NHL.com:

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson will have an in-person hearing Tuesday with the NHL Department of Player Safety for a third-period slash on New York Islanders forward Frans Nielsen on Saturday night.

Nielsen was skating for a loose puck in the Avalanche's zone when Johnson slashed him on the wrists with 7:54 left in the third period. Johnson was given a two-minute penalty on the play.

The following grounds for the proposed supplemental discipline are being considered: slashing. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to these infractions accordingly upon further review.

Avalanche's Johnson to have in-person hearing

OMG. If he gets suspended for that, I will be livid. It was nothing. It happens multiple times a game.

In Person Hearing. WTF?

I'm with you. While it definitely was worth the penalty he was called for, it should not be suspension worthy...

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Silly NHL

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Shoulda been a major tbh. But a suspension? Aren't in person's formalities? He's basically suspended, right?

 

[Landeslog]

This just doesn't make sense in any way. There's no way you can prove he was going for the hands instead of the stick and just missing.
There was no injury.
I will be pissed if he even gets a game let alone what usually comes with an in-person hearing. This is absurd

 

[Mr Serious]

I've got a feeling that Roy will have some choice words if EJ is suspended.

I don't remember the last time someone had an in-person hearing and didn't get suspended. I always thought it meant automatic. The only reason they do in person is so they can do more than 5 games

 

[Freudian]

Kadri can launch Ceci into the boards without anything and EJ get an in-person hearing for a slash?

Justice is blindly stabbing in the dark.

 

[bohlmeister]

He won't make them public, my guess anyways.


After the McLeod suspension, and now this. Should the Avs request a moderator instead of Shanahan. Serious question. Roy and him don't have a great history.

 

[The Kingslayer]

a joke if ej gets suspended.

Craig Janney should be the moderator

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Seems pretty late to announce an in-person hearing for EJ. Happened on Saturday and now they've decided that he needs to be suspended?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Has anyone ever been suspended for slashing? The only one I can find is Kessel's golf swing debacle.

 

[Foppa2118]

How about this? This was way dirtier than a slash. When was the last time somebody got suspended for a slash? It happens every game. Shannahan is a friggin joke. He's making his bias against the Avs blatantly obvious at this point.

 

[Congo Jack]

Aren't you guys excited to see our defense without EJ? YIPEE!




Oops sorry, I meant to post this on the Kings board.

 

[Pokecheque]

Craig Janney should be the moderator

BAM!

 

[5280]

Yeah, this would be a HUGE joke.

IIRC A player from the Canuck got suspended for slashing M.Koivu. It was a light tap but he broke his leg.

Ohlund was the player, just seeing the replay again it wasn't light at all lol

 

[member 116861]

**** Shanahan.

This guy obviously has something against the Avs. I'm not one to usually yell conspiracy but this along with other incidents since Shanahan has taken over is ****ed up.

 

[bohlmeister]

If Nielsen has a serious injury I will concede that it could be warranted. I've been looking and haven't been able to find anything. Maybe the Islanders just called the league and said he has a broken hand is done for the season? I don't know. Seems strange.

I'm guessing that's the case. It has to be for them to be demanding an in-person hearing to give themselves the option of a max penalty.
