What’s the standard again? Phone hearing means 2 games or less? More for in person?
Well he's travelling to Pittsburgh, and Benning just said he's probably not going to be out for too long. That's good news. Still not watching a single game from this garbage ass franchise until he's back.
Matheson isn’t a scrub but it’s okay if you don’t know who he is.Always pisses me off when scrubs like this destroy blue chip prospects and star players. It's a loss for game and fans.
I hope Pettersson is okay.
As for the incident, the hit was fine, but slamming him to the ice was too much. He deserves supplementary discipline, but I'm not even sure there is an established standard for this kind of thing.
imacWhere did you read that?
And agreed. No desire to watch this team at all right now. Pathetic team. Embarrassing time to be a Canucks fan.
I know very well who he is but Pettersson is on another planet completely when it comes to talent. There is no way Matheson brings as much entertainment value and excitement to the table as Pettersson, which was kinda my point here. Wouldn't like it if it was Marchand doing this either even if he's as good as EP. Words used in earlier post were due to my disappointment since I love watching EP's play.Matheson isn’t a scrub but it’s okay if you don’t know who he is.

You should protect all players by consistently enforcing rules. The rules should be consistent regardless of superstar status or journey man call up. you want special treatment for better playersI know very well who he is but Pettersson is on another planet completely when it comes to talent.

Slamming a player head-first into the ice is a hockey play?If the league wants to send a message by suspending Matheson for something that is normally a hockey play that could put a smaller/weaker player in a bad position then so be it. Just be consistent moving forward.
That means when Shea Weber or Chara or Hedman manhandles a smaller player, that results in an injury then they get suspended too.
