It's what Hathaway got. Seemed like a foregone conclusion.

The head of player safety was probably like what a bitch move bro just cross check him the face next time.

 

[duhmetreE]

expected but I'm outraged

Or just spit on him in the ECF when we won't penalize you.

 

[Thordic]

No-brainer for DoPS. No one should have an issue with this. Accident or not, you can't be spitting on people and the precedent was pretty clearly set.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

i expected less than 3 games

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Tom Wilson could have killed Panarin and got nothing. This league is absolutely appalling.

 

[QJL]

Fully expected.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Sucks but what we expected. Hopefully a learning moment.

 

[Peltz]

I'm fine with this even though we'll miss him.

It was a stupid move by Miller and now I hope he learned his lesson....which is next time someone pisses you off, crosscheck them across the neck, or board them from behind, or blindside hit them in the head with your elbow. Ya know... hockey plays.

Don't forget to drop them on their helmet less skull

Which is sad. Really sad. A cross check that could seriously injure a player gets nothing and a little bit of moisture gets 3 games.

Sucks but it’s the precedent so it was expected. Even as an accident, spitting a giant loogie when you’re in a scrum is just idiotic.

The worst part is now we won’t have K’Andre when we meet Boston this Saturday.

 

[nyr2k2]

Yeah I don't really have a problem with spitting being a three-game suspension, and I don't even really care that Stammer got off the hook completely--because as we know, the league is all over the f***ing map on what is and isn't punishable.

The part that I don't like is we routinely see intentional physical acts that are far more dangerous go unpunished, or receive minimal punishment. Let's have some proportionality for these things; if we're okay with spitting being three games (and again, I am) then dangerous hits/checks/slashes/etc. should be getting five games, minimum.

this is a league that allows its players to bareknuckle box because 'muh da code' so this is isn't really surprising

 

[Hire Sather]

f***ing bastards.

 

[romba]

Ok with the suspension 100%.

But things like the cross check to Mottes face, which happened to a different team last week too (Oshie?) has got to be suspendable. Just because a guy isn't injured that moment doesn't mean they should let it go. The visual of being spit on is worse for the league for a cross check to the face of back of the head, unless an injury occurs. All they care about is PR and how it looks on social media. That's what gets me annoyed.

Don't go anywhere near any main board content about this decision. It's rat poison.

 

[Cmox]

Already posted and wrong thread lol

 

[JCProdigy]

See K'andre, should have learned from Buch:



Would have saved himself two games.

Better yet, taking from his old teammate again, crosscheck a guys ankle with intent to injure!



Then you only have to give up pocket change!!!

 

[Ruggs225]

Yup. Exactly what we all knew.

I stayed away from that from the gate. Pretty much no way to defend Miller so no point of being there.
