This is just pitiful. The lengths you go to try to justify it... on routine, nothing plays by Boston.
Yup and if he was on the leafs he would be the second biggest rat just behind kadri
This is Hyman's first suspension and he has a total of 121 PIMs across 4 seasons.
In comparison, Marchand has six suspensions + 306 PIMs (last 4 seasons).
I don't really have any issue with Hyman getting a couple games, but the fact he sits while Wagner doesn't even get a hearing doesn't sit well at all with me. Hyman's hit was reckless and deserved to be punished. Wagner's was pre-meditated and predatory which is objectively worse.
Or the fact that Matthews was buried in a very vulernable position by Kronwall literally the previous game with nothing.
Like most people, I accept the punishment against my players when they do something bad, I'd just like to see some consistency.

I don't like the suspension at all
It seems they are factoring in injury history. When you make suspensions based on injury history and based off whether a player gets injured on specific plays you are down an idiotic road. This is interference. It's dirty. It's not suspension worthy
I think I'm going to amend this. When I saw it in game I thought it was a late hit, but it's actually a reallllly late hit. As long as DoPS stays consistent on the dealing with late hits I'll be ok with it.

McAvoy sure likes to look his passes..not the first time something like this happens..He'll get surprise like this again if he doesn't protect himself

Yet here you both are contributing to the thread.
You clearly have no idea who Hyman is as a player if you think he's a rat.

Had he connected it still would have been a north-south open ice hit to the chest. However we would have seen a real nice brawl.

Wasn’t disputing the suspension.
It was in reply to him calling Hyman a dirty rat when he’s no such thing. This might his first ever suspension at any level of hockey.
Marchand is a proven dirty rat and I explained the difference.
You can include Wilson or Kadri (if that makes you feel better) but certainly not Hyman.

Offseason Is The Worst Season
Its the same song and dance from the NHL.
Something can be a penalty one night, and be a good hockey play the next.
Something can be goaltender interference one night, and be a good goal the next.
Something can be a predatory hit one night, and be a clean hit the next.
The only thing that is consistent about the NHL is inconstancy, Just need to pray you're on the right side of the calls, as some teams tend to be on a regular basis.

This is a weird take. The very nature of the job of an NHLer is to give and take physical contact. It's not like your job involves that. If you ran down the sidewalk and delivered a clean hit to someone you'd still get charged. If Hyman's hit was clean he wouldn't be suspended. What a strange comparison.

My bad, didn’t see that. Yeah, it was a dirty play by Hyman, but I wouldn’t categorize him as a rat.

I would say that the very “nature” of an NHL player is to score goals, not take physical contact.
I work in Sales, so maybe this analogy will work better for you. If I had no previous criminal record and suddenly decided to embezzle funds, should I not be subject to punishment because I had never done it before?

Averaging over a like per post
Can't believe this thread is still a thing. Pretty irrelevant player to receive a suspension and its only 2 games at that lol

To score goals yes, but the idea of doing so while giving, taking and avoiding physical contact has always been there.
I perfectly understood the analogy, thank you. I just think it's a bit silly. My point is Hyman, McAvoy etc. give and take physical contact every single game, so it's not like this hit on Saturday was some brand new element of their job for them to experience, while assaulting someone or embezzling money out of the blue is. Not worth arguing about haha.
Watched it back a few times and yeah, shouldn’t be a suspension.
It was at most 1 second late, so I understand a penalty, and McAvoy acted like he died, so I sorta get the 5/game.
But an additional two games on top?
Rubbish compared to everything else that’s happened the past week with no calls

The 1st 3 are nothing playe, the crosscheck on Marner was a bad play.
Not sure why anyone is defending Hyman. Should have just been interference, I think the suspension is took much, but oh well, it happened let's move on.

The same Hainsey who acted like a very tough man while continuously backpedaling and not actually doing anything but hug?
