Kassian/Cernak kicking incident Part 2 (suspended for 7 games)

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Thank you. Personally I think its another stupid move by Kassian. It will likely result in a stiffer sentence. He should have put on his best suit and showed up for the hearing and showed repentance and shame and apologized to their faces.

It doesn't work like that.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

He was suspended only a month ago

Yes and your point? Skinner got 2 games for a similar thing, imo Kass gets 3 for the incident 3 for repeat offender

 

[Rubi]

It doesn't work like that.

How does it work??.... because if you know there are a lot of people on here that would like to know too. DoPS is an enigma to most of us.

 

[Rangediddy]

It doesn't work like that.

Repeated offences requiring suspensions? It absolutely works like that. The more you **** up, the longer your suspensions get.

I love how you think a suspension 8 years ago on an incident that is frankly nowhere near as similar as you make it out to be is going to be precedential to this.

Did you even read what I quoted before responding? I was talking about increasing his suspension for not showing up

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Or about his fellow hockey players.

The only thing he gives damn about, is The Code.

HF needs a laugh-react just for comments like this.

So you expect Parros to explain to an independent arbitrator that he added games to Kassians suspension because he didn't show up to a non mandatory meeting? Yea I'm sure that'll hold up.

How is not similar? He used a kicking motion to disengage from an opposing player that didn't result in injury.

Ok if I am mistaken then could you please go quote that exchange to prove what you are saying now?

Nope. I’ll just put you on ignore because I multiple times have proven what you are saying is erroneous and fabricated.

Nice spin

Gotcha... thought he was referring to the kick as 'another stupid move'.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Nice spin

Do explain how anything I said was wrong, please I'd like to hear this.

No but I think that if a player makes the effort to show up in person and exhibit regret and contrition that he might be a bit more inclined to show some leniency. Not bothering to show up will just reinforce what they've already decided to sentence him.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

No problem. But it's Page 45. Post 1112 if you ever want to look

I mention the few people defending Kassian, including you.

You say

"

I was won of them?

Where is the quote of what you claimed I said? Why not just post it if it exists?
Stop making things up, it looks really bad on your part."​

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Is that not what he was doing?

True but assuming it's 6+ games from them offering an inperson hearing I don't think leniency really matters unless there was a chance they gave him under 6 games if he shows up to show remorse.

There has to be other angles of the kick that the NHL will get to see only.

 

[Rangediddy]

Is that not what he was doing?

No. He was kicking another player in the chest with his skate.

 

[Rubi]

Are you a criminal defense attorney because if you aren't you should seriously consider a career change? Slick... just slick. Great spin. If I hadn't watched the video 20 times I'd almost believe you.

 

[nabob]

Is that not what he was doing?

To quote Kassian, that was exactly what he was doing. Funny how if the ref does his job and calls Cernak for the obvious holding/interference, the entire kicking event never happens. Not excusing Kassian at all, just saying how things snowball in games because of terrible officiating. This was more of an avalanche than a snowball by Kassian though.

You made my point right after your question.

 

[Krewe]

Is that not what he was doing?

If you watch the video again, you can actually see Kassian hold Cernak's arm/glove keeping him from getting up. Cernak had both hands on his stick, and Kassian already had his leg free. He clearly meant to kick him in frustration. If he merely wanted to disengage he wouldn't have grabbed cernak, and he would have tried to free his other leg from his teammate rather than kick the opposing player with his already free leg

Kassian is becoming a player whom even people who hardly ever watch hockey know who he is.

 

[Slats432]

As an Oiler fan, there is no excuse to use a skate in a kicking motion towards an opponent regardless of intent or result. 4-8 games is my expectation and well deserved.
