Cue the "Because he hit a Bruin" crowd.

 

[dredeye]

wow everything happening today. Good he deserved to get something and this is about what I figured he'd get.

 

[8Neely8]

I thought the hit deserved a bit more (around 3-4 games) but I guess 2 is better than nothing...My guess Thornton gets hammered with 8-10 games...

Can anyone tell me why no one from the league has mentioned a word about Dupuis?!

 

[doubleminor138]

Good. He's a dink.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Millar isn't injured, so gets the Shanny standard.

 

[Gee Wally]

It fits.

 

[Sheppy]

Figured he'd get 2-3 games. I'm ok with that.

 

[Sigh]

Care factor pretty low, but it's one game more than I thought he'd get.

 

[GrandGerryCheev]

good that mug.

 

[qc]

What I wanted/expected.

Still more annoyed by the no-call.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I rather have a PP next time...

 

[Bad Hat Harry]

Too bad the leafs will actually be better without him in the lineup

 

[hubey]

Good that is what I was hoping for. Now suspend the refs 5 games for missing the call.

 

[Hali33]

That's fine with me.
Leafs fans love him but my god he is such a meat head. Especially when he plays us, I hope they sign him to some outrageous contract.

 

[Braunbaer]

I rather have a PP next time...

Yeah, I kinda hate the fact other teams benifit from our guys' pain.

Scott concusses Eriksson? Great, misses 7 games and is ready to go in our next meeting.

Doubt it. Ok with 2 games Phaneuf isn't a repeat offender and the hit didn't seem intentional.

 

[missingchicklet]

The wheel of justice keeps on spinning.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

right call, no issue here.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I rather have a PP next time...

this is why the whole suspension system is whack. Great...they held him accountable for the hit. it still does nothing for the Bruins since they missed the call on the ice.

 

[Artemis]

I'd be a lot happier if the NHL sends a video of the play to every ref with THIS IS A PENALTY flashing on the screen.

 

[hoss75]

It fits, but I do think there should be some acknowledgement the the NHL is missing these in game

 

[TP]

What I wanted/expected.

Still more annoyed by the no-call.

This is how I feel as well.

As someone said above. 2 games where Toronto will be better.

 

[CamFan81]

 

[VanIsle]

I guessed 2 games.

But as stated above the 2 games do nothing for the Bruins.

They should suspend the player against the team that he did the offense to, or against a playoff rival (Pittsburgh, Montreal), or if the playoffs are soon then at that time.

What if Toronto played Florida/Buffalo next, is that really a suspension that is worthy?

The Bruins do not benefit anything from this, not even a powerplay.
