League either has to suspend both or neither. Suspect neither.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Pietrangelo is most definitely getting suspended

 

[thaman8765678]

Neither. This is playoffs, man up.

Do we see a suspension? Was pretty late and a blatant non hockey play.

 

[Ninety7]

Nice one Peter Angelo

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Haven’t seen a slash like that in along time, just stupid by pietrangelo

Should be Petro for certain. Knowing the NHL it will likely be just Nurse though.

 

[Crabapple]

I'm expecting a $5000 fine for Pietro and no Nurse suspension.

 

[Dakinjor]

Should be gone till atleast game 6. Wouldnt be suprised to see just a fine. But then again bunting got 3 games so who knows.

 

[Oddbob]

Yikes. That is a suspension all day long!

 

[Sensatauro]

I want one solid explanation why Pietrangelo should not be suspended. One. Because I can’t find one personally….

 

[PajamaBoy]

Open and shut multi game suspension. Used stick as a weapon.

You know it's bad when I agree with Steve Dangle

 

[MikeyMike01]

Neither should be suspended

League either has to suspend both or neither. Suspect neither.

They really dont have to suspend Nurse though...Good thing its reviewable. Doubt that rule is in place for situations like these where 2 guys have been yapping for several games in a row and finally have a tilt. Not like Nurse absolutely jumped Hague.

You can’t two hand a guy up high like that, suspend his ass.

Nurse is a fine print suspension so we'll see what the league feels there.

Pietrangelo slash is a 2 hander from the upper deck several beats after the play is over at the end of a blowout game. The only thing on his mind there is intent to injure so I don't know how you don't give him at least a game.

I think its either AP or neither and he gets a 5K fine. I can't see Nurse suspension holding up given they were both willing fighters and its a blow over between for the last two games. They each had a score to settle.

AP should get a game, but could easily be 5K.

 

[Oddbob]

Neither should be suspended

Since when are you allowed to swing your stick at a player's head? Doesn't matter if he wasn't going for a homerun here, the bad thing is that he thought that was ok.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Pietrangelo is an easy suspension. 100% clear attempt to injure.

 

[Hynh]

You cannot be soft on such a blatantly non-hockey play. If you do not sufficiently suspend Pietrangelo, what is stopping the Oilers from doing the same thing to Stone's back? Or any other team doing this to any other team's stars

 

[snipes]

Pietrangelo with an overhead slash like that will 100% be a suspension. That should be a multiple game one as well.

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah pretty f***ing furious with Pietrangelo. He'll sit a game and handicap the Knights in more or less a must win situation.
