Pesce slewfoot

[hamzarocks]

Pesce is the least dirtiest player I've ever seen (or atleast at the top of the rankings)

This was just a dumb decision. He should get a game but he isnt a dirty player and I doubt he makes dangerous plays like this in the future

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Is it possible to slewfoot someone more obvious than this?

I'm honestly just impressed at the fact he didn't even try to hide it.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Was there anything between these two prior to this that would cause Pesce to do that? Lucky for Fabbri too that he’s fine, as he’s already had multiple injuries in his young career

 

[JoVel]

That someone deliberately tried to end someone's career? No, it's not. If you tolerate this kind of stupidity and idiocy, you're just inviting more of it. This is the kind of deliberate situation that this moron needs to pay heavily for as a deterrent. He gets two or three games for that, it makes it OK for others to do it because they know they can potentially end someone's career but only get a few games.

Yeah unfortunately there's absolutely zero alternatives between tolerating slewfoots and saying a player should be given a lifetime ban for one instance.

This was for a Player Safety instructional video.

Doesn’t Fabbri have a history of leg injuries. Doubly-ugly.

I'm a little distracted by how easily his stick broke. Those things are expensive and it couldn't even handle a tap on the ice.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Not sure if he got frustrated or just had a major brain fart...but very bad move by our boy Pesce. That said, he has 0 history of "dirty plays" like this, so DoPS hearing and probably a fine?

 

[Ryan52]

im worried the nhl is going to disappoint me again considering ovi only got a fine. both of them should be suspensions without hesitation

 

[mouser]

I would hope this is a minimum 2 game suspension. I doubt DoPS will go more then 3 games though.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

That wasn't a slew foot imo that was a Matt Cooke achilles slice attempt. Suspend Pesce for a full season. There should be no tolerance for this type of vicious crap.

 

[Romang67]

LOL, aren't slewfoots (slewfeet?) supposed to be sneaky?

It's slewsfoot, I believe. Like Whoopers Junior. Or Attorneys General.

But yeah, that was blatant. Gotta imagine the league has a long look at that one.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Just a fine for a 'dangerous trip'.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Just a fine for a 'dangerous trip'.

Rod should still bench him for a game or at least let Fabbri kick him in the nuts or something

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

No player has been suspended for a slewfoot or a "dangerous trip" since 14-15 (Link). It's clearly not a priority for this DoPS.

So this pretty much confirm the DOPS only cares whether or not there's an injury

Sadly was there any real doubt?

 

[tenken00]

I still don't get how $5000 is the maximum fine levied upon a player.

NHLPA union protects the offender not the victim

 

[LarKing]

Insane that you can 100% try to injure a player and the DOPS gives not a single shit.

With it being so obvious that is yet another embarrassment by Parros.

 

[Ocoee]

This was one of the more blatant attempts to injure an opponent recently. You can argue some hits that accidentally crossed the line but this is as blatant as it gets. Only a fine?

 

[tarheelhockey]

What’s craziest is that there was no context for this at all. Pesce’s the farthest thing from a dirty player and there was no prior incident to this. He was just like, “welp time to slewfoot this guy” and then went and sat down.

 

[Wolfpuck]

A “dangerous trip.”

What a joke. Pesce is one of my favorite Canes, but he should sit for what he did, if the Department of Player Safety actually cared about player safety. That could have been the end of Fabbri’s career.
