Wayne Simmonds with a head hit in the outdoor game tonight. I would fully expect 2 games for this .....your up NHL lets see what ya got
Except player safety and officiating probably aren't even on the same page or close to it. They really need to get their shit together and hopefully McDavid brought some light to it (or his agent). I don't know what agents all do for their players, but someone needs to step up soon. Nobody is going to take Bob seriously.I understand him here. The league wants to give a message that everyone is treated equal, which in theory is great. Then you watch him game after game and the only special treatment is that the refs are unwilling to call stuff on him. They just pick in choose certain suspensions to call. I like that hits to the head are automatic 2 games but then you watch what has happened to him there is so much worse.
Agreed 100% they never said a word. Big f'n surprise how biast its gettingAnd they evened showed the hit on HNIC tonight in relation to Simmonds being moved but not a word about the headshot. Bet there won't even be a hearing.
Whad I tell ya....Fair call. Clear head shot. Suck it up boys ! Go gagner !
We shoud recall Polei for the next Anaheim game if we are completely out of the playoff picture. Give him a chance to get a taste of the NHL and wreck some ****ers.
Nurse is probably aware that because of the time he did that to Polak he will be watched like a hawk for similar things. I guarantee if he does that and the regular suspension is 3 games, he will get 15. Especially because they know Perry got away with a suspension here.So nothing from the POS NHL DOPS?
Go SMOKE a guy as hard as you can in the head when the guy does not expect it.
No problem Perry
If he is not suspended, I hope to god Nurse just takes a 1 game. grab him and beat the living snot out of him. Don't wait for Perry. Pound the living sh** out of him until the refs get you off.
That comment is somewhat uncharacteristic of McDavid but I applaud him for it. The stuff that guys get away with vs McDavid just because of game management is ridiculous. With the two ref system you can't dismiss it as missed calls. It is 100% intentional.I understand him here. The league wants to give a message that everyone is treated equal, which in theory is great. Then you watch him game after game and the only special treatment is that the refs are unwilling to call stuff on him. They just pick in choose certain suspensions to call. I like that hits to the head are automatic 2 games but then you watch what has happened to him there is so much worse.
I hope a player actually draws attention to it, pretty easy to just sweep it under the rug when its just fans ranting.With as much scrutiny the DOPS is under after the McDavid suspension to totally ignore the Perry elbow last night is disgusting.
What a joke of a league
C mon bobby burgers have a press release about it and comment on the Simmonds hit as well. Earn that fat paycheck you get .....Press the issueI hope a player actually draws attention to it, pretty easy to just sweep it under the rug when its just fans ranting.
So, seems the NHL closed their eyes, covered their ears and went "lalalalala!" on the Perry headshot?
The DoPS didn’t watch the game last night because McDavid wasn’t playing
