Evidence is clear as day, and anyone who means anything disagrees with you. It appears I have stumbled into a trap, good day.

More like jumped right into it with both feet.

 

[ToneDog]

Yeah, and Dubas goes out and gets Petin.

Petan would be a great enforcer if we were playing a grade school team. I would have said high school team but some of those teenagers can be pretty tough.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

yeah but what were they expecting. the little ****head debrusk was running around the entire night and when he hit the vet Marleau like that Kadri snapped. something had to be done.

Except Kadri was tossed and DeBrusk continued to play, doing whatever he wanted to. So what did it really benefit?

 

[DarkKnight]

When do we find out?

 

[dubplatepressure]

The proper way is to drop the gloves and challenge him to a fight. Chara kind of did that after the Kadri hit.

Chara didn't drop his gloves and Kadri turtled like crazy. I do agree though. Problem then is if Debrusk declines as he would then Kadri gets an instigator or worse and no message gets sent. There's no right answer other than to call penalties earlier in the game and ensure it never gets to this stage.

 

[La Masse]

When do we find out?

Hearing is schedule for tomorrow

 

[ToneDog]

Do you mean when he was petting Kadri on the head while Kadri was laying on top of DeBrusk whispering sweet nothings?

Yeah that's it

 

[4thline]

Looks like Bruins are going to be heavily injured after last nights game. Johansson not travelling with the team and Debursk, Clifton and Torey Krug all day to day (Im guessing Debrusk and Krug wont play considering their histories of concussions this season)

Also I'm pretty sure that Chara is playing banged up. Dropped like a box of rocks by Moore in game one, and I believe Marleau last night

Wow never thought I'd like Sean Avery but his last two videos ive seen were spot on

 

[PeterPuck101]

Kadri you're an idiot. You never learn from your mistakes. If you do get a suspension I hope this is the last game for you as a Leaf.

Exactly why I said "kind of". Had Kadri stood up and accepted the challenge, Chara would have knocked him to kingdom come. If Debrusk declines, you pick up your gloves and wait for the next opportunity. There is no penalty for challenging a player to a fight if he refuses to engage. Then again, there might have been with those two clown zebras last night.

 

[Rainney]

I want them to announce how long they're suspending the refs for incompetence alongside Kadri's suspension.

 

[Loosie]

Hearing is tomorrow. DeBrisk will be day-to-day and a ‘game time decision’ so the Bruins can try and get maximum length out of Kadri’s suspension

Sorry missed that before. I agree but if Kadri challenged and Debrusk said no Kadri would have e gotten tackled by their whole team. I don't think he's brave enough for that kind of action lol.

Even if there is a penalty called, whatever, better than a suspension. smh at kadri

What about you go cheer for another team and leave this fan ground... ppl like you don’t deserve to be a fan of the leafs.... kadri has been our best player these two games while other players been bunch of no show except the first game

 

[PromisedLand]

This is the definition of how this league is "trolling" the leafs; so we have to wait till tomorrow to make last min decisions

what a JOKE

 

[IPS]

Idk if this has been posted Ive watching tiger

Wow what do you know???

Turns out when you ask actual hockey players, they're IN FAVOR of Kadri. Just like I said last night, if you'd ask Kadri's teammates today about him (Freddy even gave him a pat on the back) they'd have nothing but good things to say about him.

I agree, right down to the officiating, a complete effing joke no less!

 

[mcleex]

Why is it tomorrow all of a sudden? Something is fishy with this league office.

 

[Menzinger]

This team has big money committed to Matthews, JT, Nylander, soon to be Marner.

If we lose the series based solely on Kadri getting suspended, we suck. Because there is a good chance Kadri won’t be here next year due to money.

Yes and no.

Absolutely fair to say the main guys need to be able to step up more. But when you have a series that’s as close as this, with two fairly even quality teams the slightest thing could be enough to tilt the series either way; last year the series came down to 60 minutes of hickey, and losing a top 9 centre could absolutely be the factor that ultimately decides who comes out on top.

 

[Pookie]

Someone needs to send Debrusk a message or his antics will continue

Well you got a cross check to the head ... expensive message.

Is this sufficient?

 

[Swedish Gretzky]

Yes and no.

Krug is likely out for the series. I say thats a fair trade off

 

[Pookie]

Kadri and Debrusk were battling for 2 games now. The non-calls, specifically the knee-on-knee with Kadri, elbow to Dermotts face, and riding Marleau into the stanchion, contributed to Kadri's emotions getting the best of him. If the refs call it properly Kadri probably doesnt go after Debrusk. Instead, Kadri gets 2 phantom calls, one of which was for getting punched in the face.

I dont condone Kadri's actions, but I fully expected a suspension coming with the way the game was being played. Kadri can only contain himself for so long.

What bothers me is a clean check or dropping the gloves wouldve made a bigger impact and not have gotten him suspended.

Kadri also ruined the Leafs chance at a come back by taking 5 minutes with 5 left in a game that was still within reach and that Boston was down to 4 D.

Objectively, Marchand has 6 suspensions.

Kadri will now have 5

Both cities have their rats.

Take this in a different direction.

If the Leafs want to have a rat... then they can’t be sending away the Martins of the world.

Kadri will goad and play the antagonist. Which is fine if we are trying to get elite teams off their game and into a street fight.

It’s absolutely stupid when our stars shrink in games like that.

Marchand is effective because a) he can score and b) if trouble starts, the Bruins have always had someone else to finish it

I actually like our chances better without Kadri. Turn the aggression down in Boston and hopefully get this back being a skilled game.
