Kane Suspended 3 Games for Elbowing

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Meh, Pionk turns his back and drops down so his head is basically at dasher level just as Kane comes in. Definitely gets him with the elbow but I wouldn’t call it going high or targeting when he changes position and his head is basically at waist/chest level at the time of impact.

Yep. He's going for the exact type of hit Lucic threw on Ferraro twice, except Ferraro didn't stumble/duck as he was being hit. Kane's elbow/forearm hits where it does because of that.

i'm sure parros will take all of that into account....

As if Kane could be more hated in WPG. Not as bad as it looks full speed. I wouldn't have an issue if the league was consistent.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

And this day for the Sharks continues to get worse.

That was a pretty nasty hit though.

Chara gets a pass from Parros for this though



Did Crouse even get a phone call for this?

 

[Negatively Positive]

# of games a player has gotten suspended for a headshot on the Sharks in the Parros era: 0

The double standard is BS.

kane mad

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

f*** this league.

Parros is a guzzler.

 

[LadyStanley]

As he's been recently suspended, got at least 1 extra game for that.

I mean outta all seasons to attack refs he picked a good one haha not like it matters anymore

 

[hohosaregood]

I do agree with his statement though. I think most fans are completely sick of George Parros.

 

[slocal]

Anything to keep Gary's head from exploding.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

It is 100% baffling why they have a single, retired player in charge of suspensions. He will definitely have some kind of bias. They need to have a board of people who probably don't even watch hockey to dish out suspensions in a neutral manner consistent with the rulebook.

Player safety needs to get away from being a lone persons job. And it especially should not be an ex players job.

It really should be a committee of atleast 10 people. With a mix of ex players/media/agents/gm's.

Or better yet, take it completely out of the nhl's hands and make it go through a arbitrator.

It should be 1 per conference, can't review your own conference.

kane mad

He's being mad correctly which is shocking

 

[Tw1ster]

Brodie Brazil is also mad. Just in a Way that’s coming off a lot more cringey

Whats he saying?

 

[Pavelski2112]

Good on Kane for saying something. It feels like the DoPS keeps getting worse.

It's almost like putting a guy in charge of player safety who didn't give a shit about safety when he played is a bad idea.

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Seems about 3 games too many.

 

[weastern bias]

On one hand, Kane is right

On the other, this response isn't going to win him any favors with league officials on ice or off

 

[SnarkAttack]

George Parros is a ( )


Mods. What is the worst thing I can say without getting banned, so I can put it there?

 

[matt trick]

I'm fine with Kane being suspended. I think his criticism of the league is fair, reasonable, and an accurate assessment. Unfortunately, I know that this absolutely will not result in more even handed suspensions in plays involving San Jose. Wilson calling out the league was a huge error, and I believe continues to contribute to some of the questionable decisions we've seen. Hardly a consiparcy theorist. Any team that calls out the league is unlikely to see positive results (and the Sharks have been mouthier than most- after a decade of being overly soft spoken).
