Confirmed with Link: Kadri Suspended 3 Games

[BTP]

only positive that can come out of this is it lights a fire under all their asses and they play pissed off.

win

 

[Mats13]

Honestly - this might be a good thing for the Leafs. being down one of their better players, will force the Leafs to play more smartly - they've done this before and i am certain they will do it now.

There's a huge problem you're missing though.

The Kadri suspension isn't just about Kadri.

The plan was to play Kadri vs Bergeron at home to free up Matthews.

With this suspension we're forced to play Matthews against Bergeron at home as well.

Long story short, if Marner doesn't enter beast mode for the next 3 games, we're done.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

Kadri has his Tie Domi moment.A selfish player who has had attitude problems in the past will he ever learn?

Exactly this. The difference is Kadri is much more important to our lineup than Domi and thus will hurt us that much more. We need to rally around this and show we can overcome

 

[Peasy]

Dude, are you actually arguing that a sports fan is biased towards his team on his team's sports forum? That's your brilliant revelation?

Doesn't mean you can't look at things objectively...

 

[Suntouchable13]

Get that **** out of here. I am glad someone stood up. Don't let them take liberties on our stars while we just watch.

There was no need to double team Marner in a 4-1 game. It could have been a cleaner hit but I am glad Kadri went for it right within the second Marner was hit.

Will you be still glad if we end up losing the series quickly? I want to win the series, personally.

 

[Muston Atthews]

He may have "stood up for a teammate" but it was an incredibly stupid way to do so. Why not drop the gloves? Because Kadri never drops the gloves he only does cheap shots!

Lol check out Kadris fight card. Not a list of pansies

 

[Loosie]

Thought they only consider that if it happens within the last 18 months?

Only for how much money they lose.

 

[trellaine201]

I'll just say Kadri is a very selfish plauer. Saying that though...too steep a penalty conparitively speaking on what's gone on so far in the playoffs.

Dumbfounded

 

[yubbers]

Martin isn’t playing, Kadri lost his temper unless Martin was on the line instead of Marleau him being in the lineup wouldn’t have changed anything.

All we do know is that we got bullied and it made Nazem lose his cool.

Not playing Martin worked out great didn't it? I knew we'd get pushed around and maybe he's reconsider but this is a much worse scenario

Why? It was a dumb dangerous play that may have cost us this series, how was that the right call?

There have been times this year when Kadri's line was quiet and the Leafs still managed to win. I think this team will rally back. They know they got shafted with that suspension. Should have been 1 game at most. I expect a big f*** you game tomorrow from the Leafs.

That's on Kadri too. Don't do stupid shit. Play smarter.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Honestly if we got Tavares somehow, I would trade kadri for a josh Manson and nick Ritchie or something of that sort.. kadri is a good player but he just seems to do dumb stuff like this constantly

 

[Leafs27]

Kadri has a hot temper, but I'm still of the opinion that the head contact was incidental. He was already going in for the hit (coasting, I might add) while Wingels was upright. Wingels falls at the last half-second, what was Kadri to do? I don't know, for something like that, comparing it to other stuff, 3 games is excessive.

I hope you're right, man.

 

[Pi]

It was in the heat of the moment. He didn't have much time to think about it. We're analyzing it here for 24 hours, he had less than 2.4 seconds to decide what to do.

I'll take the good with the bad. I am not going to blame the one guy that showed up to play physical hockey.

We can still have a shutdown line with Marleau at C.

Honestly - this might be a good thing for the Leafs. being down one of their better players, will force the Leafs to play more smartly - they've done this before and i am certain they will do it now.

I have to say though, that this is something that was brought up this season when Kadri went "red mist" and hit someone because he was mad, and everyone was like "yah! YAH! good on Kadri for getting revenge". when all he had to do was take the name, take the number, come back and fill him in later, and it cost us the game. And everyone was like who cares, it's just a game, passion, heart, wish everyone played like kadri did.

And I asked, (and so did a few others)
what if this were the playoffs? What if his action cost us something big and it cost us a playoff series, or the cup. and it was "pft, like Kadri would do something like that?"

well here we are.
Kadri literally could have done anything in that situation.
he could have gotten the puck (because 2 bruins were out of the way)
he could have dropped his gloves and filled someone in, taken the instigator + whatever because the game was lost
or he could have made that hit.


i really hope that doesn't cost us the series.

Well said Daisy.

I'm pissed. I'm pissed at the league for handing down a long suspension. But I'm also pissed at Kadri for the play. It was a stupid dirty play, but I thought he would only get 1 game not 3.

 

[Ratboy]

Way ahead of ya.

Komarov is already practicing with Matthews and Nylander!

Are you f***ing with me?

 

[DueDiligence]

Then he should have thrown down the mitts and beat the piss out of him, took his fighting major and been back for tomorrow.

That was a dirty play, and there is no way to defend it.

I agree he should have done that but the problem with Kadri is that he doesn't fight he gets back at guys with cheapshots. That move is typical of his career.

 

[ECanuck]

Marchand crosschecks someone in the neck RIGHT BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS with the worst history of any active player and he only gets fined, Kadri gets 3 games for this. Doughty gets one game for a hit to the head. **** this league in the ass sometimes.

I like your passion.

 

[TakeTheBody]

Friday the 13th. what do you expect?

 

[htpwn]

All in a game that was never properly officiated to begin with.

Unbelievable.

Yep. This is the other aspect. The refs called penalties when they shouldn't have been called. They let go penalties when they should've been called. They let the after-whistle extracurriculars escalate and tensions boil up. And then, shockingly, when Boston gets back-to-back PPs in the 3rd and goes up 4-1, the game boils over and somebody (Wingels) simultaneously tries to seriously hurt someone else (Marner) and gets hurt himself (via Kadri). The refs lost control of this game, and bear at least some responsibility for how things unfolded, but no worries... they'll be doing another game in a few days. Because as we know, NHL referees are the among the few on this Earth who can be absolutely terrible at their jobs and face zero consequences for it.

 

[Mitchy]

I'm fine with suspension. It was a dirty hit, but how does Tom Wilson get nothing? Sure, his hit wasn't as bad as Kadri, but he has a terrible history and it was still a dirty hit.

Here's some adversity from the boys. Let's see how they respond.

 

[saffronleaf]

We can still have a shutdown line with Marleau at C.

the only thing marleau shuts down is our offense.
