Confirmed with Link: Lapierre suspended for 5 games for hit on Boyle

[sharski]

Shanahan should walk out with Lapierre behind him... then just as he's about to announce the suspension, he says he's getting ZERO games... he then raises Lapierre's hand, points to him, and then takes off his shirt to reveal an nWo shirt

just do a full heel turn and embrace it... it's working for David Stern

Brings back some great memories.

The hearing has ended already according to XM Radio. I guess they will announce it tomorrow, maybe sunday

Good to know! I thought it would take longer to make the decision and the video. But then again spinning that wheel of justice cant take long

That is what I thought. All of the previous suspensions have been announced on the same day as the hearing I believe.

5 Games...

Called it. Probably the last game Lappy plays for St. Louis barring injury.

Doubtful. After reading the Blues GM's quotes this morning, he doesn't think Lapierre did anything wrong

You're ****ing kidding me right!? That's it!!?? I can't wait to hear watch Shanahans reasoning for this when I get home!

 

[Coily]

5 games? That's it?

 

[DrFeelgood]

I'm actually alright with the 5 games, I thought he explained himself pretty well

 

[spintheblackcircle]

sounds right

 

[sjshrky27]

Im laughing at this. Easily should have been closer to 10 games.

Judging by comments made by Hitchcock and Backes and Steen leads me to believe hes booked himself a room at Chateau le' bow wow.

Yup. Time to move on.

Chillax!

Bullet points of the video for those who can't watch it:

• The suspension is less about the viciousness of the check, and more about the result (the violent check) into the boards, in accordance with the rules.
• Boyle caught his skate and started to fall as Lapierre hit him, but it didn't significantly change his body position; Lapierre saw his numbers the entire time.
• Injury + Previous suspension = 5 games

 

[Alwalys]

I think we all knew it would be single digits. bottom line is he's not a repeat offender.

 

[slocal]

5 games is more than I expected. Just enough so that he can't appeal.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Someone please take this ashhat out next time we play. please

 

[Gene Parmesan]

At least his video was coherent unlike the bewildering Torres and Stuart vids.
