Nice to see us Leafs fans being fair and reasonable. Other fan-bases should read this thread for sure. My expectations were 2-3 games suspension with hope that it will teach kid not to do it in the future. And with his recent play Ashton could have good NHL future.
Nicely done, Leafs fans!

He's played like 3 games and is already suspended...
Didn't he get like a 20-30 game suspension in the AHL??

Careless hit. He deserved the suspension.
If it was someone like Dustin Brown though, it wouldn't even have a hearing. Thats my beef with the league.
And trust me, Brown, Marchand and other players of this type have made hits like that tons of times.

Fair suspension.
That hit has no place in the game. From the moment he lined up the player, all he was seeing was numbers.
I like his physicality, but obviously tone it down a tad

This is what I am saying. An established top 6 forward, almost never gets suspended no matter how serious the hit.
remember Nash throwing a flying elbow to the back of a guys head? Ya that didnt have a hearing even.

It depends who you are, lost respect for him. Maybe the wild man will grow up next year. Bye Ashton.

Ashton is the only one hurt by this suspension. The team won't miss him at all, especially with Kulemin coming back.

He blew it large. It was almost worse than the Holzer post terrible fight clap. Call me petty but wouldn't want to be associated with a clapper. A neck breaker is at least...well I don't like either.

From everything I have read on this board he is FAR from the most hated leaf. In my opinion there has to be a level of intent to be "dirty" and you don't get the impression that he meant to injure on that hit.

He's a hustle player who has to do anything he can to stay in the NHL. It's a bad hit but we see one of those every night in the league. Nobody died, Carter learned a lesson about boundaries, seems fine to me.
I can't understand hating the kid. Ridiculous people will say ridiculous things.

Not a Leafs fan, but I take issue with that call. Two minutes definitely, five minutes maybe, even a fine, but I mean, is every boarding play gonna be a suspension now? I dunno, seems excessive to me. Two minutes and O'Brien's fist in his nose is plenty.
