Sisson phantom highsticking

[voyageur]

I have to assume you're talking about Sissons. I agree. He's a total embarrasement to the Preds. That acting job by Sissons was something you see in soccer... not hockey.

Subban's worse. He was pathetic against the Jets. But that's Nashville hockey. Draw power plays and kill you with them. Can't touch them though. [mod]

Good job by Marchand spending 14 minutes in the box for throwing a tantrum. What a goof.

A goof that most teams would love to have playing for them.

 

[Rubi]

Sissons... when he used to play soccer.

 

[HanSolo]

Hahaha sup Divemar?

You obviously haven't watched us then. Our PP is below average for the most part, our 5 on 5 is far better than our PP.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Ok, does that make him any less of a goof? He's a great player, but the clown act is getting old. That was an embarrassing display, and it cost him 14 minutes in the box, rightfully so.

Parros better be suspending Sissons tomorrow after an inperson hearing.
Its bad enough soccer is flop city, the NHL has to stop this type of behavior now.

I agree, but the NHL is pretty much powerless to do anything other than issue fines at this point. The league could try to negotiate with the NHLPA to allow the DoPS to suspend players on embellishments, but right now suspensions will not happen unless a change is made.

You're theory might be more believable if the Preds PP wasnt one of the worst in the league... but whatever you need to tell yourself...

 

[Beville]

Strong embellishment, gained the advantage. Well done.

 

[PunkRockLocke]

It's gamesmanship that has been happening for a very long time. I don't really have an issue with it. On the refs to call it.

I would encourage the refs calling more unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for embellishment.

Quite ironic that this happens on a play against Brad Marchand. I doubt anyone feels bad for him.

 

[cactusjack]

The game is too fast for officials right now, they have to find a place to skate away from the play not to be too close and are missing/misjudging a lot of what's really going on. They have to get better, be held accountable and probably be taken out of the ice. All penalty should be rewiewable and on the 2nd one that your not successfull you have a 2min for delay of game. Teams would not challenge unless it's obvious because you don't want to be in a 2min 5on3.

As for Sisson, this should be a 2min after further review and a 2-3 games suspension for a first offense. Add 2 games for each case after that.

 

[Gnashville]

Sissons certainly sold it, but the stick did appear to hit Sissons Helmet.

Plus it was deserved since Marchand had already tripped/slewfooted Rinne twice in the period when the refs weren’t looking. I still don’t understand why linesmen can’t call obviously dangerous penalties when they see them.

Not scoring on an undeserved PP doesnt mean these BS calls dont exist. Subban in the playoffs was disgusting. This is disgusting. Keep on cheating Nashville.

Point was we arent killing anyone with our power play, which is what was explicitly stated.

 

[4thTierSport]

He's never done anything like that though. I watched a few angles and I still can't even tell if his stick actually even grazed him.

Hope Sissons gets fined and embarrassed for that.

He’s litterally been fined for diving. That means the league gave him at least one warning before the fine.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Marchand's little antic might have been more meaningful if he hadn't been guilty of this at least a dozen times in his career.

 

[triggrman]

Live by a pretend sword, die by a pretend sword...

 

[Critical13]

said it in another thread but I think Sissions needs to be fined, Marchand should also be fined for the antics after the penalty call, but mostly the referee needs to also be fi ed or somehow be held accountable for his actions

My opinion on this is that the ref should call it as they see it, and if they get duped by some clown faking it, then that player should face a suspension. Start with 2 games, and add the more they do it.

The danger of fining the ref is that if that's what he saw, then that's what he saw. From the other angle it probably looked like he hit him.

 

[Critical13]

This is really not that uncommon at all. League has gotten so soft the last couple years. Most games I watch at least a 1/3 of the penalty calls to my eye involve at least some embellishment. Every team does it because the refs have been told to clamp down on stick infractions. Teams do it because it works, every time a stick touches a glove it's a hook or slash, every time a glove touches an jersey it's a hold, and every time a player falls it's a trip. Really ruins the flow of the even strength game in my opinion.

This has been happening for decades. Don't play it off like it's some kind of new thing.

Marchand himself is one of the worst for this type of embellishment.

 

[BleedBlue14]

I remember Arvidsson acting like he got shot in the playoffs against the Blues a couple years ago when Perron didn't touch him. Of course Perron got a slashing for it. Seems like a lot of preds players are good actors.

 

[PerdFan]

Colton Sisson’s acting ability has nothing on the drama queens in this thread. I’ve never seen anything like it.
The biggest embarrassment was the way Marchand handled the situation. Now that was embarrassing. Which is why everyone is over dramatizing Sisson’s flinch, to take some heat off of the shit show Marchy proceeded with after.

Did the Preds score during the 14 minutes BM was off the ice? No. Was it the reason the Bruins lost? No. Does it happen to every team? Yes! And most of the time a hell a lot more flagrantly embellished than what Sissons did.

Move the hell on people.

 

[gorangers0525]

Glad Marchand got the double minor and misconduct , what a f***ing hypocritical whiner.

Give Sissons a fine and move on.

 

[smack66]

Has the NHL said anything yet about Sissons?

 

[Mass]

It's incidents like these that really make me question the direction the league is going in. Clean, hard-working, overall good ambassadors for hockey like Marchand getting shown up by known embellishers and rat players like Sissons is a true travesty.

Won't the league think of the children? It's time to put players like Sissons in their place. Appease all the Blues, Ducks, Jets, and whichever teams get victimized by Nashville's antics next. I'm calling you out Bettman.
