Confirmed with Link: Pavel Buchnevich Suspended 1 Game

[JCProdigy]

Punching a player in the back of the head when said head is on the ice = $5000 fine

Cross-checking player in the chin as he turns around behind the play to engage with you = $62500 fine

See, there is no precedent set with any of this.

They want this entire conversation of why Wilson gets a get out of jail free card for trying to murder Panarin to go away.

teammate of Ovechkin. if it was a teammate of Crosby, we'd have the same conversation. this is proof

 

[H00fHearted]

They even acknowledge that Mantha instigated the confrontation and that Buchnevich was unwillingly put in the position of defending himself. I guess the NHL's position is that he should have just let himself get crosschecked in the neck.

"It is important to note that while we agree that Buchnevich’s actions are defensive in nature, players are not excused from following league rules because of the actions of their opponent. While Mantha’s actions may have been provacative, Buchnevich is not permitted to respond to that provacation with a reckless and forceful strike directly to the face of an opponent.

That's a f***ing joke.

Thats a win for the NYR

1 game for a blatant and intentional cross check to the face??

HA. thats a win you take every day.

 

[nyr2k2]

It was warranted, and also worth it.

 

[UnderPSI]

Hmmm.. forceful strike directly to the face of an opponent... you mean like punching someone in the face in a fight? Yes I know..it was a s stick. Im just poking fun at their verbiage.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Bettman has taken the NHL as far as he can.

What is this? A lifetime membership to the Commisioners office? I'm sure some could do a worse job while somebody has to better.

 

[Irishguy42]

Bchnevich 100% deserved a suspension, in a vacuum.

In context of the last 48 hours, it's infuriating, especially considering this (not from this season, but still comparable):

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

MSG should get him in the booth with Sam and Joe to do special comments

"What do you think about the Bruins, Pavel?"

"In parts of Russia, people eat bears to keep from starving to death"

"..."

maybe Ted Leonsis has some major political pull—Washington dc and senators and congressmen and these are people that Bettman will want an in with.

He's a real captain of industry...

 

[Richard Banger]

Oh f*** me why did I go to the main boards for the topic

 

[SRHRangers]

Lighter than I thought.

Love Buch for how he played last night.

NHL office is a bunch of hypocrites that need to die a slow painful professional death.

(And you can't fine me Bettman. f***ing rat bastard)

 

[Pens x]

The Caps pretty much dumbied the Rangers’ franchise.

A rare picture of the DOPS's main offices

 

[Thrasymachus]

The Caps pretty much dumbied the Rangers’ franchise.

yeah it is kind of crazy how Wilson indirectly caused the Rangers to fire their GM and President and get hit with a 500,000 dollar fine... AND Buch gets suspended when Wilson doesn't....

all because the NHL can't do its job properly

just a gong show

 

[Captain Lindy]

The Caps pretty much dumbied the Rangers’ franchise.

Along with the entire gang of suits in the NHL front office. They have been exposed as clowns.

Im a Bruins fan but f*** Chara after his display last night. “Mr. Character”

 

[Troublesome 85]

Said this in the Bruins forum but Rangers need to sign Haley and Ronaldo this off season. Stash them in the AHL and only call them up vs the Caps.

 

[Elliman]

LOL
Still salty over winning the lottery.

 

[TominNC]

Buch would have gotten 5 games, but he has a history....of knocking Marchand's head off. So reduced to 1.

 

[Peltz]

With this mind that we have to make the playoffs next season, re-signing him is a must. Zibanejad also, if they don't trade for Eichel

Hmm.. I actually think they’re both getting traded.
Hopefully not for Eichel though. I don’t want him.

 

[zlev]

worth it, it's 1 game that means nothing and the DoPS look like even bigger tools. perfect.
