You feel that warrants a suspension?
Does the player have a history of these hits?

No , it wouldn't. Noel Acciari is American, by the way. It really has nothing to do with USA or Canada.
It's always "poor us, poor us!" in here. Man, pour me a drink.

Hasn't it been pretty obvious Bunting is being treated differently?
Really indicates officiating can be influenced by other than on ice situations.
Matthews never had a history and he was the only player I've ever seen suspended for a cross check to the head just last year. There was even a nearly identical hit that same night, I believe it was in Boston and it didn't even get noticed let alone mentioned

Matthews was obviously deliberate and he used his stick. I don’t think they are comparable at all.

No I don't think it was suspension-worthy. However, like I said if it was our guy concussing their guy I think Acciari would have got one game.
Nothing to do with country of Acciari's birthplace. Everything to do with country of team. I will have that drink though to help me forget how brutal the reffing was in that game.

Wasn't trying to compare the two, just pointing out times the Leafs got penalized for what's typically a non suspension offense. Also, I don't know how that is anything but deliberate.

The non call last night is the Bunting tax, payable to every ref in the league, every night. It's the ref's version of vigilante justice.
Time to use AI/ML to call the game. Sensors in the equipment and sticks, 50 cameras in the sky, it couldn't possibly be any worse. Anyone want to start a company to create the next generation referee?

When you deliberately hit someone in the head with your stick you’re going to be suspended, it doesn’t matter who you play for.
You’re welcome to your opinion but to me it looked absolutely incidental

There is precedent for incidental incidents being called a PIM. Happens every night.

The software would probably get hacked, lol. Arizona suddenly wins 10 cups in a row with a cap floor roster and 0 penalty minutes called against them for 10 years. Besides, they'd probably name every robotic referee George, after George Parros.

Because he intended to hit Acciari in the head and got away with it. I'm not sure he is the dumb one.

I didn’t say it was. Matthews looked right at him as I recall and cross checked him in the neck.

LOL, my company does not have any employees and I'm already getting hacked... just my luck. it would all be in a faraday cage, it would use RSA and AES encryption
... it's already a billion dollar company, as we all know companies do not have to make money to have a high value, Twitter I'm looking at you.I'm gonna call it Fraser, don't know why that name just rings true to me

The way I saw it Accari was going North South, Jessie was going East West, they were in each others blind-spot, Jessie raised his hands to protect his face, hitting Acari with either his gloves, forearm or elbow. Although it is incidental, a head shot is a head shot, we are either protecting our player's or we are not. An accidental stick to the head is 2 min to 4 min. I see no difference between an accidental elbow to the head and an accidental stick to the head. CTE is not picky on how the brain injury happens, just that it does happen. Are we serious about players health or are we just putting window dressing out there?
I mean that Noel Acciari got hit in the jaw/head with no call, followed by, I believe it was Jarnkork being clearly pushed into Carolina's goaltender proves that wrong.
They let what happened to Acciari go, there is no excuse for that.
There is also the fact that if the world depended on Bunting drawing a PP we'd all be dead but that's another issue

It doesn't prove anything. The Leafs have had weak penalties called against their opponents or things not called in their favour as well.
Things are missed or let go in games around the league all the time.
Where do you find penalties drawn? I know Bunting drew one the other night but also picked up an embellishment to go with it.

You go on the Power Play when you draw a Penalty or does PP men something else to you.
Not every penalty results in a PP otherwise there would never be a 4 on 4 situation
