McNabb should be suspended

[6ix]

Should be a game. League has to remind players that serious injuries can happen when sticking out your leg.

 

[Leaf Fans]

It wasn't a purposeful hit. He just finished his check and caught the knee.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I would give him a game or two

 

[DistantThunderRep]

That's should be a game at least.

 

[Jugitsu]

Looks more like he caught the thigh rather than the knee. Very close to the 'jewels'. Don't see a suspension in there though.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

VGK might actually get suspended since it happened against TO where everyone will make noise about it.

They'd better be careful though, they're running out of guys with 'no history' to defend, the dirty play rotation will have to start fresh soon.

 

[Anglesmith]

I think this is similar to the Giordano/Fowler hit. He looks to be focused on making a shoulder hit, and his knee is leading his body through that motion without any conscious effort from McNab. If players are lunging with their shoulder while skating with bent knees, their knee will move with the shoulder subconsciously in order to maintain balance. These plays are tough to evaluate, and whether the NHL frowns upon it or not is really anyone's guess.

From what we've seen, they will never suspend anyone, no matter what the infraction on the Knights. You get a free pass for 2 seasons when you're the media darlings of the league and an expansion team.

 

[izzy]

not as bad as some people in here are making it out to be

 

[Halla]

dirty. shoulda been 5. will get a game or 2 for it easily. AJ probably out for an extended period of time and that POS is laughing it up in the penalty box.

glad the leafs mauled em tonight.

dude looks like he is gonna miss a dozen games or more. its pretty bad

 

[OVO16]

Should be 1 game

 

[LeafChief]

My guess will be 0 games.

Those are the reports on Johnsson?

Leafs fan:

Shouldn’t be a suspension, it’s hockey, shit happens.

 

[paulhiggins]

Darlings of Gary's USA Southwest. McNabb gets nothing. If a Leaf or any other Canadian team did that to one of their players it would be a multiple game suspension.

Shouldn’t be a suspension, it’s hockey, **** happens.

I'm always suspicious when someone volunteers information inferring that they are in a position where they're not biased...

 

[pomx]

Don’t see it as intentional, more like leans in for the hit and an unfortunate knee on knee happens. Probably will get a game because Leafs.

Yes, because playing the Leafs gets guys suspended. I can’t even remember the last guy that got a suspension with a play against us. Might be going on years.

 

[BlueDream]

As someone who thinks most mainboard threads are about fairly harmless hits, I do agree this one deserves supplemental discipline. You just can’t knee someone like that. 1-2 games.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Game or two. Unfortunate as Johnsson has been rolling...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

that was pretty bad. Should be a game or two

 

[uncleben]

Eh. Maybe 1, but frankly they've turned a blind eye to worse this season, so I wouldn't be surprised with 0

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Johnsson left on crutches smh..

Except history does not support that.

Last time a player got suspended for actions against the Leafs was May 2, 2013 when Andrew Ference got one game for this nasty hit on Grabovski

There have been three other supplemental disciplines in that time, all fines.

• Sep. 24, 2013, when Ron Rolston was fined $10,000.00 for his player selection in the game, and Toronto themselves had two players suspended in the Kessel vs. Scott vs. Clarkson ordeal
• Mar. 25, 2016 when Josh Manson was fined $2,486.56 for his throat slashing gesture to Kadri, which frankly the League had to act on (though Kadri's hit leading to the gesture should've received a suspension for boarding, imo)
• Mar. 21, 2018, when Steven Stamkos was fined $5,000 for tripping Morgan Rielly
