Suspension?

Suspension. Just reckless and idiotic

Refs let the game get out of hand.. Crosby has a messed up wrist from a slash and a bloody nose from a high stick... cheap shots abound... downie is probably going to do something suspension worthy soon

 

[Zen Arcade]

Who does that, I mean seriously.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

He should get a fine.

 

[flaneur]

embarrassing

Willie Mitchell hits Kris Letang with his helmet

Mitchell's helmet came off in a scuffle. He picked it up and tried to nail Letang with it. Probably should have been a match penalty, but wasn't seen by the Refs.

Lets see what the NHL does.

Not intentional.

 

[Sear91]

Reminds me of Artyukhin against Ottawa back in the day.

 

[tom_servo]

Barbaric.

 

[dechire]

Garbage move. Should be a suspension or a fine at the very least.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Not intentional.

He picked it up by the chinstrap and swung it.

 

[Hank Plank]

Not intentional.

You can accidentally swing a helmet at another player? Did not know that.

The call of the play on that vine is strangely rhythmic.

"Grabs the helmet, then BANG!"

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

This game is wild. Thoroughly enjoying it actually.

Is there an official rule against using improvised weapons during fights? I assume there is, but I couldn't find anything with a quick search.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Reckless? Do you even english?

What? Why isn't reckless appropriate?

If it was Ryan O'Byrne, then yes.

Dan Carcillo got suspended for it in the AHL, not sure what rule they invoked though.

The correct spelling is reckless.
