Got hit on the ear and got KO'd, it happens frequently to boxers.

That should be the last time Perron touches NHL ice.

But I suppose he's friends with someone who invests in Violent Gentlemen t-shirts and will get a slap on the wrist.

 

[Metallo]

Those Buffalo jerseys are so meh.

There is a gross amount of Habs jerseys in the stands in Buffalo.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Maybe they gave Kane an 18 year old’s hip

Where are all the goals tonight

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Where are all the goals tonight

They've all been reserved for use by the Colorado Avalanche.

It's gonna be a good night.

Perron can't try to elbow someone in the head after he gets out of the box if he gets the whole game. Good thinking by the ref.

 

[dahrougem2]

That is insanely dirty. I'd throw the book at Perron. Give him 25 games.

A cross check to the head of a guy who had nothing to do with the play and he connected.

 

[Balthazar]

Buffalo really finds ways to lose, what a cursed franchise

Also Tage has lost a lot of his magic

Turns out they were all reserved to be used on the Colorado Avalanche tonight.

[Bill Peckerskull]

He'll get fined. Nothing will happen to Kane or the refs.

Q Hughes has completely taken his foot off the gas in this Norris race.

Luckily for him, Makar is MIA/injured at the same time.

Frustrating

Yep. Double slap in the face losing to Philly with no Makar points.

If it involved the Blackhawks orginization, might not have even been an 18 year old.

 

[Ceremony]

Perron being an utter rodent? I'm stunned.

Hope he gets 10+. That was a disgusting display. Hard, crosscheck right to the head. Wasn't even to the guilty party on the hit(s) to Larkin. Dude has always been a POS, Tomas Holmstrom type who loves to take cheap shots, and then hide behind teammates.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I think there are lots of reasons... the one I barely see and I think has the most impact is the goalie equipment reductions. They've tweak the leg pads and blockers a lot over the years. But the new chest protector and pants that came along in the middle of the 17-18 season is where it really jumped. The NHL went from a 2.7 GF/G rate to a 3+ pretty much overnight. We've added about another .1-.15 since then which is mostly a result of more penalties called and a slightly higher effectiveness on the PP.

I wondered if that would have the desired effect, and it seems to have. I remember seeing the new gear modeled against the old. The difference was hilariously stark.

 

[dahrougem2]

Rightfully so. I said throw the book at him and I hope they do. I'd give him 25 but they never will, so I hope they give him 10.

It's not a gambling infraction, so let's not get too carried away here.

Honestly insanity. 41 games for a betting infraction, but Perron will get a fraction of that for trying to concuss someone intentionally.

Gambling is an integrity of the game thing... players know there is zero tolerance there.
