E. Kane hearing for elbow to Pionk [Suspended 3 Games]

[WSS11]

a) that's not the NHL rulebook and that's not the current rule
b) i'll let you do the legwork on when the last time someone was suspended under rule 43, hell even the last time it was called

A. Actually it is. page 75-76.

B. You could file that hit under rule 41 as well. Lowry received a suspension for a similar hit earlier this year. Lowry pushes closer to the shoulders but had less time to let up than Lucic. The hit on Debrincat is the only infraction Under rule 43 that warranted a fine/suspension this season from the DOPS.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Can't elbow people in the head. That's against the rules.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Where did I say this? Do you always put words into people’s mouths?

The poster you quoted was talking about discipline for/against Sharks players and you brought up that series as a counter. That was the same thing many posters did during last year’s playoffs whenever a Sharks player took a questionable hit that wasn’t called.

 

[Guardian17]

Kane went after Pionk three times during the game.

The first two times I had no problem with.

The third one was an elbow to the head.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Should be 5 games. Elbow directly to the head, from behind, into the boards.

I don't want to hear "but...but...but..."

You know that hit is garbage.

 

[GreatGonzo]

He shouldn’t have been leading with his elbow so high but Poink changing his position at the last second didn’t help either. Either way it’s not the worst hit but he should be suspended. He has to play smarter, he’s been unpredictable lately.

 

[Chips]

If this were the first time Kane did something along these lines, I’d say just a penalty. But at this point he should get a few games. Not the first time he’s “accidentally” caught someone’s head one way or another even this season.

Even if it’s recklessness they need to make him be more careful.

 

[Kegsey]

Stupid hit by an emotional player. He can sit a few.

 

[Dache]

That's my take as well. James elbow was a little high, but Pionk's head drops down right before Kane hits him.

so he was trying to elbow him in the back of the neck?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Should be a couple of games. Keep your elbows down, kids.

Well tbf his elbow was pretty down

 

[yeaher]

overrated player

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I hope he's suspended for the season and is forced to live in Winnipeg during all his off-seasons.

Realistically though, Kane should get ten games considering he's a repeat offender.

*Kassian, the repeat offender points & laughs while Parros toasts Lucic with champagne in their shared hot tub*

No issue with Kane getting disciplined for a questionable hit but you give Chara a 5k slap on the wrist, hell not even a slap, more a gentle caress, for trying to collapse a windpipe & Lucic nothing for 2 illegal hits.

Funny thing about the repeat offender label, Chara could easily be classed as such, only DOPS refuse to even look at him, y'know 'cos Pronger physics.
(Not that i can blame them, he is hard to look at, not just 'cos of the neck strain involved)

You’re kidding right? Do you forget the the refs gifting the Sharks a series win last spring?

Also giggling at the peurile logic above Sharks get what they deserve 'cos, y'know, 'last spring'... wait, so the refs made some bad calls so it's the Shark's fault? *applauds*

Yes. That's the realistic take.

Nah, the Sharks got a couple of really fortunate calls in the playoffs last year, so potential long term brain injuries should be somehow both ignored and applauded. It continues to amaze me that some people don't see the difference between split second calls, and things that are (or at least should be) deeply reviewed to come up with the fair call.


In this case, Kane was reckless, and even though Pionk's head moved, he should get a couple of games. Having said that, the same should be true for Lawson Crouse. It's the lack of anything consistent that leads to people complaining like this. If Crouse got 2, and Kane got 2 (hell 3 for repeat offender) you wouldn't have the same volume of complaints.

 

[serp]

 

[SnarkAttack]

I'll agree that's reasonable. Now awaiting the Crouse suspension in 3, 2, 1.... oh. Okay. This league is stupid.

 

[Nth Turtle Reborn]

7 less than I expected tbh, it makes little to no difference to the Sharks with Couture still out, Hurtl & EK65 out for the season & Jone5 probably in net tonight.

These threads are great for finding those posters who belong on that ever expanding 'ignore' list tho'.

 

[volcom92886]

A repeat offender, with a suspension this season, given three games for a blantant elbow to the head. Parros once again shows he is incompetent in his position as head of the DoPS

Kane rips Parros and the DoPS

he's not wrong

Hey, this season is worthless for the Sharks at this point, in terms of winning. I'm okay with him doing this. Someone needs to, as the system is garbage.

 

[stranger]

It's the same exact hit Lucic threw on Mario Ferraro TWICE and didn't even get a minor either time.


Parros is an idiot and a ****ing joke. This was a minor that was appropriately called. Nothing more.

Why are we comparing hits that have nothing in common?

 

[Il Stugotz]

It’s not like he’s going to pay the fine
