Zack Kassian ejected for throwing punches after fight is broken up.

[The Panther]

It's just some accidental contact while he threw a blind punch.

Good grief, people! Do we really want hockey to turn into ringette?

I remember the days when Jeff Beukeboom would, after a goal scored against his team and about a five-count after the play was dead, throw a massive elbow into the face of Gary Roberts, five feet in front of the referee who was watching. No penalty called, no suspension, and nobody cared.

Things were a little extreme back then, but it doesn't mean we need total "pansification" of the game, as Mike Milbury once put it.

Did anyone notice Lomberg's stupid face? I'm surprised the linesmen didn't start punching him.

He sure seemed giddy after the fight. All smiley with the lax bro flow. Standing in the penalty box. You’d think he’d actually been involved in a real fight and won!

I no Kassian fan but I’d have thrown a few extra as well.

Good lord. The only one who should get the suspension is the dumbass linesman for breaking it up. This league and it's no-fighting garbage is an absolute joke. If two grown men want to fight, let them fight, FFS. Both players seemed very willing, even with the dumb-ass between them. I have no sympathy for these clowns anymore. The more cross-fire they catch, the better.

No suspension for Kassian. Anything more than what he got would be atrocious.

Hope he cellied in the refs face after that.

f*** Lomberg has a punchable face.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

this should be a 5-10 game suspension.

 

[Butch 19]

I really don't see anything worthy of much conversation here.

You're looking at the main board, right?

 

[Sugi21]

Ok the stupidness and Neanderthal attitude of Lucic must be rubbing off on him lol

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

OP should get an ten game suspension.

 

[BeastoftheEast85]

Linesmen should have let em keep going. With how games have been called lately, I don’t feel bad if many of the refs in the league get hit a few times.

 

[Chainshot]

I hate when one linesman jumps in without his partner.

 

[nowhereman]

IMO, this is on the officials. Maybe a few errant punches will teach them not to jump in too prematurely, when the guys are in the midst of throwing down.

I hate when one linesman jumps in without his partner.

Its so dumb when they do this. Makes it way more dangerous for the players as well because theyre basically forced to only tie up one the guys and leave them as a sitting duck for the other guy.

 

[Jumptheshark]

5-10 games?
Even laughing at him getting one game.

add this thread and that idea to the endless oiler bashing on this board
