Talbot to be fined for goaltender interference comments

[Stoneman89]

Organization is probably afraid that by making comments about the officiating, it will make the refs turn against us. Not sure how it can possibly be any worse than the daily abuse McDavid takes without so much as a sniff.

Better yet, have the owner step up and clear his voice and take one for the team so to speak. That would get the NHL's attention a lot faster than is Talbot or the Coach do it.

The only time the owner has ever cared enough to actually speak publicly as a representative of the team was when he was asking for money for the arena. As if he’s going to speak out about officiating, especially when doing so would cost him money to do it.

So what's the fine.

I haven't seen anything anywhere about him actually getting fined, just Shannons tweet about expecting him to be fined

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Maybe he meant to say 'Talbot is fine.'

lol. a fine. How do they justify 'a fine' for a dude speaking his mind? Because in the end it's all entertainment and everyone's on the same side? I guess that must be it. Ridiculous that you get a fine for telling someone they suck. I think I'll start fining people when they tell me I suck.

I wonder if the backlash about the potential fine was enough to make them reconsider

I've been wondering... from the NHL's perspective the faster this quietly gets forgotten about the better

Talbot might have pleaded temporary insanity to the charge as he is usually soft spoken and professional with interviews. Not that time.

Judge Bettman probably agreed and withdrew the case.

It’s just about been a week since Talbot went off. If the league was going to do anything about it, wouldn’t it have happened by now?

Also, TMac doesn’t gripe about the officials because he needs to save bank for those flashy Caesar Romero Joker suits.

You ******* **** **** and are an ******* with ******* ***** up your ******** !!!!!



We need an electronic swear jar on this site so we can compensate people when we blow up on them just like the NHL uses for players/officials... then this group on HFOil would move closer to becoming tier 1 fans.

I think it would have happened by now. The NHL clearly doesn't even give a crap when we complain and call them out. That is how bad it is.

Good on Talbot for speaking up but it's not going to do anything. The team needs to throw it's weight around a bit more starting by becoming much more active among the BoG.

No more Gretzky being an "ambassador of the game" and parading around for the league.
No more using McDavid as their little poster child. Limit him to the absolute bare minimum related to NHL marketing and events.

That's 50 vCash! Oh yeah, we don't have vCash anymore.

I wonder if he'll be fined for excessive celebration for winning a goalie interference challenge. That was seriously the funniest thing ever, throwing his hands up like they had won the game.
