I don't care if he's suspended or not. But yeah... it's an overreaction when you consider that a stick tap like that is nothing more than getting someones attention. Nothing threatening.
Tyler Ennis gets game misconduct for abuse of linesman, no additional discipline

Oh, if you're referring to a stick tap being worthy of a suspension equal to a flying headshot during the run of play, then I agree.

I could understand the reasoning of a 3 game suspension. Does the NHL really want to get into discerning how hard a player "tapped" an official? Don't touch them, plain and simple. That's an easy threshold to uphold.
If that were on of the kids on our team who can do no wrong and not Ennis who everyone seems to hate for some reason there would be a different tune. It wasn't a big deal, he didn't shove or cause any harm to the official. It's quite clearly not going to result in a suspension nor should it.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
He even admitted it was bourn out of frustration. I'd be shocked if he didn't at least get the 3 games. Can't touch officials. Period.
If Girgensons or Risto did the same thing, I'd be saying suspend them, too. Has nothing to do with who it is, it was a stupid thing to do.

It was stupid, but not terrible and he doesn't have a reputation as an idiot. He was lucky to avoid suspension. Nothing more to see here people...move along.
?
The guy broke a rule that by the book is a suspension. The NHL reviewed it, decided it wasn't worth it, and moved on. So will we. Doesn't mean Ennis isn't a dumbass for doing it in the first place.
But hey, agendas, right? Sometimes it's okay to call a spade a spade.
That was probably his saving grace for not getting suspended. If he had prior suspensions they probably would've handed one down.

Feel free to inform me of the agenda I push, please. This has been said to me a couple of times this month, yet nobody has been able to tell me what my agenda is. Honesty, I'm curious.

Think Afino's point was the posters (myself included) were making statements based on established NHL rules. Didn't seem to me like he asserted you had an agenda but rather that you might be more careful asserting that others do.

So then why are you accusing others of having an "agenda" in the same manner? People thinking that what Ennis did was stupid is not an "agenda". This word gets brutalized around here.

seriously? you don't touch refs, you don't ever touch a ref, there's no reason to touch a ref
don't like the precedent this sets, organization should take the reigns on this and suspend him for tonight's game
