Confirmed with Link: Matheson suspended 2 games for hit on Pettersson

[Mogo]

OH not in the 2nd pair they were ****ing not

Pysyk+Petro should not be in the NHL

 

[StrangeVision]

Main board is gonna be lit if he gets off scot-free.

I think he'll get 1 game since there was no penalty/misconduct given on the ice.

I'd reckon that the Nucks' fans will be at the Rogers Arena with pitchforks, tar and feathers if that happens. I'd like it.

3 games because a young star is injured in a non-hockey move

Personally think Matheson deserves a suspension, he took it a step too far in my opinion. Wasn't the ugliest thing I've ever seen though.

 

[JayX]

The descriptions I've seen used by Canucks fans are hilarious though. "He powerslammed him!" "He chokeslammed him!", way to go over the top guys. You'd think Matheson climbed onto a 20 foot steel cage and through him through the Fox Deportes announcers desk the way they describe it.

If Matheson can man handle you around like a doll you should not be in the NHL

That’s because they are soft.

But the kid does have NHL skill, he’s just too small.

Hearing took place at 10 AM EST.

It is now almost 5 PM.



Longest reveal of verdict ever.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

I don't see why he should be suspended. You see far worse hits to the head on a regular basis, like the one Ekblad took.

I dont like the slam either to be honest. I dont mind him getting a game. He needs to be scratched anyway.

Should the hit below have been a suspension? Guys shove guys all the time after checks. The problem with this one is Pettersson was horizontal when Matheson followed through with the push.

Hey I guessed right, 2 games. Hopefully hes realized it isnt preseason when he comes back. And he is known for having big games vs the Wings.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Hoping Matheson will take these two games to go back to the drawing board. If he wasnt suspended, easily could have been benched a game for his poor play the first 3 games.

 

[GermanPanther]

Yeah i read it right now. That was a suspension incoming after all the anger around. Also it matters the possible rookie of the Year, so Star Player safety.

 

[Gentle Man]

Matheson 100% knew what he was doing. He wanted to cause damage, and he did. The slam was unnecessary.

 

[Bure1096]

Look out for a riot in BC.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Remember when Max Domi sucker punched Aaron Ekblad and got away with a preseason suspension?

Matheson deserved a game or two for the added push, don't get me wrong. But I can't help but look back at the Domi incident and wonder why this gets a suspension and Domi doesn't get at least 1 regular season game for that, if not more.

It's things like that that keep me up at night.

 

[Gentle Man]

And lets get this out if the way.

Matheson stands zero chance against Guds. None. He would get the red knocked out of his head in one blow. Either drop the gloves and turtle or scratch the bastard.

 

[Ghoste]

Two games for it happening to a Canadian team. It is what it is.

[RainingRats]

Overreaction by the DOPS but they're not known for being consistent. He needs to sit anyway with his poor play so it may actually be a good thing.
