NHL Toronto’s Nazem Kadri suspended three games for boarding Boston’s Tommy Wingels.

[neelynugs]

Three seems ok. The loss of Kadri doesn’t affect the series much. Still gonna be tight.

pretty big loss for them. kadri is their best defensive center, is abrasive, and scores 30 goals a year.
the next issue is that they aren't very deep at center. marleau and nylander were filling into the middle
when matthews got hurt this year, and neither is terribly effective in that spot. plekanec has been
pretty terrible since they got him too, so losing kadri is a problem. now it's up to us to take advantage.

Good to know he's played his last game of the season.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Can't have Kadri skating around trying to take out players. 3 games is good

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Toronto fans seem to think it will

Yeah I was reading on their board. For some reason I thought he was their #3 center. Seems he’s #2 though.

Deliberate intentional to injure another player who was in a vulnerable position and his idiotic statement after the fact.
Three games is sufficient but also giving all the circumstance against Kadri was the bare minimum he should of gotten but with that being said I'm happy.

But the Bruins and Marchand in particular better not cross the line as Parros will be having a field day as the flood-Gates are open.

Yeah guess he’s better than I realized.

They reeeeeeeeeally hate Marchand.

Makes me love the little elf even more

I was chuckling at work all day about the Komarov "cuddling" bit. Luckily I work in relative isolation outdoors, so no one saw me seemingly laughing at nothing.

I love Marchand's agitator side!

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

I didn't think it was possible for my ****-eating grin to get any wider today, but here we are. Leafs are in deep water.

 

[Chief Nine]

Serious delusion going on the Tronna board right now. Full blinder mode for a good chunk of posters there

 

[Orr Fourever]

That's what happens when you don't have Martin riding shotgun for Mitch...

 

[jgatie]

Next man up . . . wears a turtleneck!!

 

[Midship]

3 games sounds about right. Surprisingly satisfied with the ruling

 

[Kate08]

The unintended consequence here is that if Boston does do their thing and take care of the Leafs, fans already have their excuse lined up.

Sad!

 

[BMC]

i gotta think that kadri's "explanation" of what happened didn't do him any favors here. what a dummy.
marleau or plekanec is the new "shutdown" center? bring it on.

I saw that clip and I thought "you idiot" :

 

[EverettMike]

I had the Bs in three games, so this doesn't do much in terms of winning, but now I'll be less worried about one of our guys being injured by garbage on skates.

So glad none of our players ever cross the line. I can't think of a single Bruin who also does terrible stuff like this. It's nice to root for a totally clean team where every player plays the right way at all times.

Agreed. I hope Wingels is okay.

You are evil. Pure evil.

No idea what you're talking about.

 

[missingchicklet]

Thought the spinning wheel of justice should have given him at least 2 more given what they have given other players for much less this season, but whatever. I'm just happy I don't have to watch that fool skating around trying to injure Bs players and throwing himself into the boards for the next 3 games.

And I agree with others that Marchand better be on his best behavior for the rest of the series.

 

[BMC]

Testify!!

Leafs fans are rapidly racing up my list of fan bases I dislike

Don't worry they're in no danger of overtaking Montreal

Pretty much admits it was "payback". The NHL didn't like that.

Then his comment about the not being a call on the Wingels elbow being justification of the action, shows no remorse or accountability for his actions. Double wammy.

I thought he'd get 2 games, but 3 is deserved, he buried himself in the post-game comments.

This will definitely be the narrative.

 

[rickizbruin]

If you read the leaf fan response a lot are saying this will kill their chance to win the series etc. the crying is incredible. Its one player ! bruins go through injuries with 4 to 6 players out. they keep playing. they keep winning. if they had a better start they would have taken first overall but because of injuries they didn't. March was out for 5 games and the Bruins keep winning. That is the sign of a contender. That's why i picked the Bruins in 5.
They are a contender and not a pretender. Hope Kadri sleeps well knowing he F ed his team.

There were some Habs-esque moments last night, though. Like Andersen going down as if shot, trying to draw a penalty after his own teammate made contact with him. Nice try!
