booo

It has to be April 1st.

Avs should protest by not throwing another hit all year.

 

[Avsboy]

The league views the Avs so far as this year's goons. EJ borderline hit, Barrie, Landy...

 

[Avsboy]

Just saw the video for the first time (yeah, I'm lazy). To me it looks like a pretty blatant hit to the head. Marchand is a smurf so maybe Landy didn't intend to go for the head, and was thinking in line of a standard yet surprise shoulder-to-shoulder hit. Still, a hit to the head is a hit to the head.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Don't mind this, this will benefit us in the long run. If Landy is really nursing a injury, a couple more days off should help him out.

 

[tigervixxxen]

When they go into a shell and stop being physical against teams this is why

 

[ASmileyFace]

****ing lame man. Just so lame.

 

[22FUTON9]

Could be a good thing if Grigs actually gets a chance and Landy gets some rest. Wasn't playing too well the past few games for whatever reason.

 

[Avsboy]

****ing lame man. Just so lame.

The situation sucks, definitely. Only two games so I think Landy will come back and play better.

 

[The Merchant]

And yet Byfuglien gets off scot-free. NHLPS continues to prove its wortlessness.

The shoulder was the principle point of contact, and then the follow through hit the head. Based on the other borderline hits we've seen this season, no way this one should've been suspended.

im indifferent to this. If this was mackinnon getting hit like that I know we would be going crazy. Since its marchant I don't care as much. Id say 2 games is reasonable.

Only reason im think he shouldn't be suspended is cause of byfyugliynene got off free

 

[tigervixxxen]

If MacKinnon was fine no we wouldn't because we don't want to appear whiny. That's how it always is.

 

[Tweaky]

Don't agree with this. Hell, even on the main board, most folks do not think it was a head shot. DoPS even said in the video that he got shoulder first, but then that the head was "main point of contact." Really think there is a double standard sometimes.

Worst part is now Landy will be a repeat offender any time a borderline incident happens, and he does not appear to be one of the lucky ones that gets stuff glossed over for him (see Buff, Brown, Backes...maybe he needs to change his name to Bandeskog).

 

[Joe Sakic]

Absolute ********

 

[R S]

As I said on Twitter. No issue with the suspension, but I do wonder how Byfuglien didn't get suspended for his hit on Gallagher. His was just as bad and looked FAR more blatant.

 

[AslanRH]

Lame (merely due to the lack of consistency from DoPS)

That is all I'll say.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

And yet Byfuglien gets off scot-free. NHLPS continues to prove its wortlessness.

Byfuglien is one dirty player and never seems to get suspension.

 

[trip trancid]

It's ridiculous this is 1/3 of Cookes suspension for his hit on Barrie's knee in the playoffs.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

It's ridiculous this is 1/3 of Cookes suspension for his hit on Barrie's knee in the playoffs.

Yep. Pretty unbelievable.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Playoff games>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>regular season games.

Say something we don't already know.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Say something we don't already know.

Well people are questioning Cooke's length of suspension in the playoffs ( from 2 years ago) and comparing it to Landy's in the regular season. Thought some needed a reminder.

 

[tigervixxxen]

It still doesn't compare even if you bump it up exponentially.
