Georgiev Penalized For Flipping Puck Into Glass - Suspension Incoming?

[Avsfan1921]

the only thing that matters about this story/thread is that he was benched, and annunen shut the door

Bednars expression/body language after pulling him said a lot imo. Would not be entirely surprised if justus gets a clear shot at taking over before the playoff run

And George’s body language probably shows that he was not happy with the pull. He sat there for several shifts with his helmet on, likely expecting to go back in.

I do think they need to get him in the proper headspace because they need him playing well for their best shot but it’s a fine line of seeing what you have in Annunen as well because he very well could be asked to play in these playoffs at some point. Not a great situation for a team looking to be a legitimate cup candidate.

Except that puck he shot up hit a kid in the face causing him stiches because nobody is paying attention to the puck after play.

Still a nothing McMuffin?

Didn't happen, but it might of. This isn't a nothing McMuffin.

So nothing actually happened, but could've happened? Jesus dude, calm down.

It's not good, but we're talking about a sport where grown men regularly have fist fights on ice. In any game someone could die. Now that's a Big McMuffin, but here we all are watching the sport.

Maybe give him a fine and move on. Worse things happen every second around the world. No need to get your panties in a bunch over this small thing.

It seems like you have your panties in a bunch. Take a breath, yikes

It's tough because a little girl literally died at an NHL game from getting hit by a puck. So the league needs to have as close to a zero tolerance policy as you can get.

At the same time... this was such an innocent mistake. A goalie was frustrated and kicked the puck, to me that's not nearly as bad as slamming a stick on the crossbar or having a tantrum. Really just bad luck.

I say fine him. A suspension would just hit him in the pocket book anyway since he most likely wouldn't be getting the next start, but the league really does need to make it clear there will be supplemental discipline for shooting a puck into the stands outside of the normal flow of the game.

I just find it funny how selective people are about their outrage.

Nothing happened here is the point. Go take a walk or something and grow up.

HFAvs would like to apologize to Rangers fans who told us. I don't know if we can trust this tweet but wouldn't surprise me. Could it be Georgiev who Toews was mad about in December? "We've got some guys in here that think they're playing well and I think they're kidding themselves at this point," Toews said.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

So like, did the puck go outta play?

 

[Coaches Coroner]

iirc in the OHL it's an automatic 5 games for flipping it out of play after play has been blown dead.

You still worked up over this? It was a dumb play by him, get over it.

Silliness. Anyone who thinks this is suspension worthy is kidding themselves. Hard.

 

[Strangelove]

The Easter of Georgiev.

I wasted way too much time in this thread...

I know it’s not the point but one handed with a goalie stick that’s impressive

It's really not difficult. You use your stick like a lever with the pad/leg as the fulcrum. Pretty easy to get a lot on a shot doing that. Any high school aged goalie should be able to get a puck over the glass if they tried/really wanted to.

Yikes. If Georgiev tried 10 more times to do the same thing I don't think he can replicate it even once. And the high school goalie comment is absolutely laughable. Most of these guys weigh 150 pounds soaking wet and have popsicle arms. Guarantee you most can't do it even on a fluke.

Wtf...Is this a joke thread?

Suspension for flinging the puck at the glass?

Went into the crowd and almost hit several people.

With a straight face, you're saying this action should be worhty of being suspendable...??

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I mean, if it hit someone in the stands? Yes, 100%. That's a massive lawsuit on the NHLs hands. It's not like the puck just went out during normal play where you are suppose to be paying attention.

With a straight face you don't think there should be any discipline for that act if someone was injured?

We have no evidence that anything happened and people are like

And other usual suspects.

I'm not saying Georgiev is an angel. He is moody and sometimes needs to do a better job of hiding it on camera.

But damn, I have never seen such a concerted effort to be mad at somebody.

I think for Rangers fans, deep down, he bore the emotion of being the guy who's not Lundqvist so Shesterkin could start with a clean slate.

He seems to be on a special crusade this time

It’s not hard to get a lot on a shot like that. I’ve shot pucks like that countless times. Don’t know what else to tell you but you’re entitled to you opinion I guess.
