What are your thoughts on the Roy trade, the Recchi trade, Gainey losing Beauchemin to waivers, drafting Kostitsyn in 2003, Gainey not trading Sourray at the 2007 deadline, George Laraque's honour code, the McDonagh trade, Bergevin hiring Therrien, Lefebvre and Leblanc, the Subban bridge deal, the Weber trade, the Sergachev trade, Lars Eller, Alex Galchenyuk, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and the Toffoli trade?

HuGo the gawd will make us forget all of that.
 
Dumb hit, I hope he learns and never does it again.
I think he needs to go down at some point i realize no one agrees with me, however its a matter of control and he is just 18 needs to figure out his limits he is a big kid and now is pretty much a marked man, just part of the development but i don't think it would hurt him at all to spend a little time in the A.
 
So, now he has more goals AND more PIMS than Shane Wright?

I think he let up a bit on that boarding to be honest. Definite penalty, but not sure how much intent to injure there was TBH.
I don't think he intended to injure just really needs to learn his limits and not sure if he can do that fully right now. Second time when he has come close to something awful happening.
 
I can find a handful of hits on twitter that are more egregious boards that didn't even result in a penalty.

You can say it's whataboutism and yeah! The actual written rule of boarding is horseshit anyway and if we used that there would be 50 boards per game.

Agreed.

I really don't see it as that bad...

However, what's bad is this may make him more timid now and gun shy when trying to lay the body.

Just great.

I think it's not good, and he deserved the major. We don't want him taking those penalties or hurting guys.

But a suspension would just seem so extra for what it was.

I'll probably be wrong though, seems like most fans want a game or two so that's likely what he gets.

Yeah exactly, I do NOT want him suspended over this....

Make him play with Monahan.

They are both hungry I think with Monahan on a contract year, will oblige playing with a 1st overall and someone else like Anderson.

Let's do it!
 
if you are the player with the least amount of ice time maybe you think you aren’t essential to that the team right now or that the next guy up can fill that role for 4-5 meaningless game, we have a few guy sitting out so I don’t see other player having a issue with it. Also the team is trending to finish bottom 10, so it isn’t like winning individual game is a factor… If anything a couple of extra win could hurt the team since 2 win will likely be the difference between drafting 6th or 10th.
"Boss I'd like to take 3 weeks off to go do something important to me and especially some of my fans. But don't worry, you can use the subs in my place and it won't make a difference"

"No problem kid, and we'll keep using them after you get back. Hope you like hot dogs."

Well, if Hoffman can be the Tatar replacement on a line with Gally and middle-six C, then Slaf-Monahan-Anderson could be good.

I think he gets a game? Similar hit to Anderson but they probably take a game off since it wasn't really a charge like Anderson's hit was.
 
I wish he would hit even more often and recklessly. Turn into an animal of a player. A self-controlled predator like Mark Messier used to be. Keeps opponents guessing on how far he might go, which would give him and his linemates more space and a psychological advantage through intimidation. To have that little black corner in your mind, that your opponent aren't sure what the hell is gonna happen in the corner. Doubt he has the personality for it though. Brutality is absolutely a great tactical edge, although in this case it was obviously unintended.

Mark Messier 6 Stanley Cup championships, one of the greatest maestros to ever patrol the ice. I miss that man, even made Scott Stevens his bitch. Messier won the war against Stevens, Lindros lost it. Difference between Messier and Lindros right there.

This clip summarizes Messier's body of work against Jersey.



Greatest all-around center after Jean Béliveau.

Stupid play, demonstrating his low IQ once again. Perfect time to call another upper body injury.

Im not hating, if a bruins player did the same thing to one of ours i would pissed. This was dumb just plain shtoopeed.

send him down because he laid out a guy? That's just stupid. He's producing points while stuck with Beer League Gallagher for crying out loud. If you want him to get a pounding, send him to the AHL its the wild west, full of guys on their last stop, nothing to lose.
 
It was the right call but he shouldn't be suspended. It wasn't intentionally malicious and I think it just happened before he could hold up.

Definitely deserved the 5 and the game though.

You see he does not go full speed like Anderson did, fully agreed with you For the intent.
 
He's not going to get suspended Parros will let it slide for an 18-year-old Hulk that learns the league and his body limits.
