I am surprised that Betuzzi's suspension isn't there

Bertuzzi was suspended for the remainder of the 2003/2004 season, which amounted to 13 regular season games as well as seven playoff games. The 2004/2005 season did not take place because of the lockout and Bertuzzi was reinstated before the 2005/2006 season. Although Bertuzzi was suspended by the IIHF for the 2004/2005 season, his NHL suspension only amounted to 20 games.

Holy. I hope that's not as bad as i'm picturing.

Here it is:

oh thanks for that.
then yeah

so... 20 games, still is like around 5th all time. though
i saw the hit,(Torres) and I really have to wonder what the heck he was thinking. (he actually avoided someone to go hit his target).

I am also curious what this means for future suspensions, because in my opinion the tone has been set, yeah?

Torres is a huge repeat offender and an easy target to come down on.

Tough to maintain a similar standard of suspensions with first/second time offenders.

Brown and Lucic already with dirty plays ? What a surprise...

 

[Canada4Gold]

Not true.

Billy Coutu, Life time suspension in 1927
Marty McSorely, 1 year for high sticking, 2000
Chris Simon, 30 games stomping, 2007
Chris Simon, 25 games high sticking, 2007

looks like Chris Simon didn't learn the first time around, 2 25+ suspensions in the same year? Ouch

Dallas will kill Pens D @ home IMO. That offense is scarier than the Pens because it's spread out.

Man so many games I want to watch tonight. Always the same at the beginning of every season. I expect I'll watch 4 games per day through the first weeks. Goodbye, rest of my life.

Kessel's first game with the Pens, McDavid with the Oilers, Eichel with the Sabres...

Luckily they all start at different times, so I'll be jumping back and forth.

Size talent, no idea how to use it. He's either dumb or a big baby who has never been pushed to compete.

he cant skate, if he had the wheels of a guy like keith or doguhty he would be a top 5 dmen, he gets beat nd looks bad defesvley due to his skating

Don't think he's a terrible skater, good for his size. Terrible decisions and doesn't use his size at all. Doesn't have to be a thumper but just get in the way.

What happened? He get walked around or turn it over?

 

[Leafidelity]

Not much yet from Eichel that period

Played a passive 3 on 3 and backed in, nothing doing.

Sounds about right.. Probably screened Lehner

Nobody picked up Turris but , one of the D steps up and the play likely busts. I'd rather see a starting guy make a error of agression rather than indecision, that's what I think marked Fransons time in TO.

McDavid time

 

[garce]

McDavid time

What time are Phil and Seguin driving me further around the bend?
