20 games would be completely ****ing atrocious.
I'd be just fine with seeing them throw an entire season at him. Get rid of this trash from the game.

Ah so just be obtuse for sake of it. Ok, noted for future interactions.I'd be just fine with seeing them throw an entire season at him. Get rid of this trash from the game.
I fell Drai is gonna have a chip on his shoulder for the Panthers game due to that gaffe.
I’m worried we are going to be looking at a lengthy suspension , something around 10 games.
I hope to god I’m wrong but I just have that feeling guys.

For once I agreed with Yaremchuk. He figures around five games. Two games for Skinner doing the same thing, another two games because he was just suspended/repeat offender and another game to (somewhat) appease the kangaroo court.
Giving Kass the option of an in person hearing gives the league the option to suspend for 6+. I doubt they would offer that if they are giving him less than that. I think he’ll get 12.

Yep you're right, it doesn't look good but as Mckenzie himself said on the 1260 morning show, it's not a guarantee he'll get at least six games. There hasn't been a set date or time I've seen but I guess we shall see. It's tough to gauge when DoPS is so random with their punishments.
I can't think that one watched the replay and believes the bolded. Because that is not at all what happened. I can see Kass saying that after the fact as a kind of poor cover. But I sure don't believe it, and my eyes are telling me that's not what occurred.
I doubt you disagree.
cheers in anycase and thank you for responding
Probably gets an extra game or two for doing that.This should be quick as Kass didn’t take them up on their option for an in person hearing.
He’s an Oiler. We all know he’ll get the Sutton treatment.

Why? Skinner got 2 games for a more dangerous kick and Pronger got 8 games for a kick that was clearly more malicious. This kick was benign by comparison to both of those suspension netting kicks. This should get at most 2 games, maybe 3 because it's his second suspension of the year. If this was Crosby or Toews or Kucherov we'd be talking about a 1 game suspension.
Also I totally agree that kicking is not okay, but let's judge this on the event in question and the result of the kick, not as a means to deter future kicking events. First off, it's a straight on kick, there's no risk of slicing. Secondly it wasn't hard. Lastly he wasn't kicking a dangerous area, he kicked the chest which was padded. Guys getting hit from behind and cross checked that don't draw penalty calls are more dangerous/vicious than this specific kicking incident.
Take a look at the videos in the link for comparison to past kicking incidents and the suspensions they've incurred and then compare them to what Kassian did and tell me he deserves more than a few games. Spoiler alert: objectively you can't.
Is supplementary discipline on the way for Kassian yet again?
I’m not saying he should get 12, just what I think the dartboard will give him. Personally I think 4-5 is fair.
Yeah there certainly seems to be a media narrative trying to build this up to be more than it was. Suspension worthy yes. More than the Pronger suspension? Give me a break.
Anyway lol of the night is Tyler Johnson completely botching a wide open empty net, with all kinds of time, a puck that falls to him from heaven, and for some reason the doofus tries bardown and hits the crossbar. My lord
As the old saying goes, three things you can be certain of in life - death, taxes and inconsistent rulings from the DoPS.
