Weise hit on Holzer (UPD: suspended 3 games)

[Coaches Coroner]

Naw man, any frame before the hit to the nose doesn't have Matthews in it, so no need for more frames or speed.

That's a hard fail on the comedic front.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Weise being Weise.

The fact it wasn't a penalty probably is why it gets a hearing.

Manson going to the head of Konecny was a far more egregious play, but it did get a penalty. Slash to the back of Streit's knee was probably actually worse, but the Ducks were up to 5 or 6 penalties in a row at that point, refs aren't going to call everything.


None of this is worse though than the somehow preferential treatment Andrew Shaw is getting.

Lol. That was all on Konecny, he tried to duck a hit and got hit in the head instead of the shoulder because of his own fault.

With a hearing, this should be 2 games for charging. It is important to note that Korbinian Holzer is eligible to be hit on this play in a legal manner, driving through the core of his body and staying on the ice, but Weise charged into the hit.

 

[04' hockey]

very obvious damage from the face shield SO it WAS shoulder to face.....
3 games
this from a Flyers fan.....shoulder hits to the head HAVE TO STOP

 

[GKJ]

It was a late hit with with the puck nowhere near him. And I felt the penalty was sufficient, but apparently not now.

He's a repeat offender for exactly the same penalty. This should be 5. And, before anyone says he isn't, the timeframe for repeat offender applies only to fines, not to suspensions.

So, balance no call on ice + head injury + plays for Canadian team + repeat offender vs plays for an O6 team + happened vs a small market team + lack of media outrage + DOP$ has become a complete joke about actually caring about player safety this year = Dale Weise has been announced as the Captain for the Atlantic Division 2016-17 All Star Game!!!!

 

[Rebels57]

He didn't even get a penalty, so I don't know how you can complain.

Pretty easy actually.

Shaw slewfoot = no suspension
Virtanen turnbuckle head slam = no suspension
Roussel sucker punch = no suspension

Gudas shoulder through chest into jaw = 6 games
Weise shoulder through chest into jaw = probably 2 games

That's how.

The level of consistency by the DoPS is a ****ing DISGRACE. It's only effected Flyers fans so far this season but I assure you, it WILL effect others and those fans will be just as angry.

JUST. BE. CONSISTENT.

 

[Vikke]

I wouldn't mind if this got him a game or two, if the DoPS was anywhere near close to consistent. It's not, so suspending Weise would be a joke.

 

[Rebels57]

Lol. That was all on Konecny, he tried to duck a hit and got hit in the head instead of the shoulder because of his own fault.

I will agree with that. Shouldnt have even been a penalty. He tried to hit him cleanly and he ducked the hit.

What was missed was Hanzals intentional elbow to Konecnys face on Saturday.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Doesn't really matter if he left his feet. First contact to the head is the issue.
Certainly a dirty play by Weiss.
If the league wants to punish Philly, the Flyers should be forced to play Weiss for 20 minutes a game for a month.

 

[jw2]

Left his feet
Targets head
Initial point of contact is head
Play resulted in injury (although I personally don't consider this in reviewing plays)


This will show if the NHL is serious about reducing head hits.

Just saw this elsewhere and had to share..

The "preseason suspension" followed by the "stern talking to."

 

[The Jones Zone]

3 games

 

[GKJ]

Whatever. DOPS are still a bunch of punks.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Obviously that was getting a few games. YOU CANT DO THAT DALE.

 

[Kale Hulls]

3 games

wow bs.

DOPS got one right.... Im surprised...

 

[Rebels57]

3 games? Lmfao.

 

[HanSolo]

3 games is deserved. Can't believe people don't see that. This kind of stuff should not be in the league anymore.

 

[hckyplayer8]

League is a joke.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I'm fine with Weise being suspended for it; I'm just amused about the other hits in the pre-season and the first few games seeming to have not even caught the attention of the DoPS.

I'd be okay with some consistency.

They shouldn't avoid giving suspensions just cause they haven't given them every time one was deserved.

I see this with almost every suspension that gets handed out. Should the police make no arrests because sometimes they arrest people with no merit or they let certain people go?

My issue with the Manson call was that they called an elbow. I don't care if they want to call it late, or whatever, but calling an elbow when his elbow stays in tight and Konecny tries to duck away is silly. That was the only reason there was head contact. That hit became outright dangerous, simply because Konecny didn't want to take a hit.

If he keeps doing that, it's only a matter of time before some player gets low-bridged, and goes face first into the boards with no ability to protect themselves. The second the refs made that call, they should have talked to Konecny about trying to duck away. Someone is going to get hurt.
