Lucic Match Penalty

[stator]

Regarding LadyStanley's post of the sports article where Lucic was criticizing his match penalty in the GDT, I though skating over to the opponents bench and starting a fight was automatically a match penalty?

Someone correct me if wrong. Didn't a Shark get a match penalty for the same some years ago, Clowe perhaps?

I see someone closed the GDT and wonder if this is the new norm that GDT are closed now, or did something spiral out of control (that escapes me)?

Closed due to over the post limit.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the penalty is more for people who leave the bench only to go and start an altercation, like with Clarkson last year. Couture wasn't part of the play anymore which is why the match penalty was given, but people can stretch the logic and say the chasedown was part of the whole hitting event. I'm assuming that's the reasoning behind no supplementary discipline but they'll keep this in mind the next time Lucic does something stupid.

One thing I have noticed about Lucic is that he's a selfish player and only acts physically in his own self interest. Matt Cooke can decapitate Marc Savard, no response. John Scott can run roughshod over the Bruins, no response. Lucic gets checked? Oh he'll respond.

I missed the game last night but just saw the replay of the Lucic penalty. Looked like an elbow/punch to the face? Hope the POS gets suspended, but because he plays for LA I doubt much will happen to him...

I actually don't care much about this. What was amazing is Juicy actually hit somebody.

This is what people are missing. We are told that we need someone to "protect" our stars. Logan gets drilled in the head and how does he respond? He lays out one of their tough guys. Skilled players that will stand up for themselves rather than employing goons to goon is good for the team.

Threads have always been closed at 1000 posts. There's a reason why threads have "I, II, III, etc." in the titles.

I liked the response, but our thinking will change if/when one of our skill players gets hurt throwing a hit or fighting.

Will it break the site if a thread gets 1,500 posts? I mean, what's the significance at stopping at 1000?

Legacy rules from when the internet sucked more from what I heard.

Admin's orders. Helps with server strain and other moderator actions.

Not sure who you heard it from, but that's not correct.

Any way, we do allow some threads to run a bit over if a conversation/event is going on, but we cannot allow all threads to run endlessly.

I would think getting drilled from a guy like Couture hurts Lucic in the pride department, mostly.

Why don't we adapt a guideline to open GDT #2 thread when the main one hits the post limit? I think other team boards do that.

I would have, but what held me back was not knowing why it was closed. Last thing I wanted is to reopen it as GDT #2 if the reason was other, and I get sent to the hfboard penalty box.

There needs to be no guideline/rule stipulated here. People are free to open a new thread as the old one hits the limit, and the majority of the time they do (hence LZ's PGT). For some reason, it seems like this is the first time you've run into this.

We do not punish people for opening a thread.

didnt that already happen, with couture also?

With Mike Richards I believe. Couture must really annoy the Kings.

I'd much prefer Brown, not Couture, to run into Quick and take the retaliation since that's his role. But it is nice to see Couture not backing down.

I have to wonder what is the Ducks game this weekend going to be like. Didn't we have one of those brawling games with the Ducks early last year, but the Duck came out on the short end of the stick, or the long periods of sitting in the sin bin?

It was late December, Getzlaf stick tossing contest.

Couture said he asked for that fight, citing that the Kings talk a lot.

DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!

I've always felt Couture plays extra hard vs the Kings (Doughty) and Oilers (Young talent he was compared to). The Oilers stink so he scores a lot. The Kings throw 5 million checks so he gets into it vs them quite a bit. I remember Williams never stopped chirping Couture in games I've seen live, so I think you're right they do hate him quite a bit.
