Bunting got 5 and a game for elbow to the head of Cernak (suspended 3 games)

[AvroArrow]

Correct call, should be suspended for that. Such a dumb f***ing play by Bunting, especially with what the situation was in the game.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Hit directly to head whether intentional or not he did it. Your responsible for your stick so I'd imagine your elbow to. No idea why Bunting acting like he did nothing wrong. Hopefully he saw the replay and realized his mistake because it was direct hit to head.

Lol ok this made me laugh like an idiot

 

[DistantThunderRep]

No, because he got 5 and a game for a legit elbow to the head, that alone is thread worthy.

You underestimate the blind cultist homerism of a small percentage of Leaf fans.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Straight to the head and the puck wasnt close. That one will earn a well deserved suspension.

 

[North Cole]

Those calls that are borderline more likely than not are gonna go Tampa's way.

I watched the video, didn't see anything that looked borderline...

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I'm guessing he gets 2 games for this. Definitely suspendable.

Highly doubt that idiot thinks he did anything wrong. The Draymond Green of hockey.

I'm not a leaf fan, and I'm the one who started the thread?

Blatant headshot, I can't say I saw it as an elbow but nonetheless, could be suspendable because he picked the head pretty clean.

I'm more bothered by the fact that the guy throwing the hit dove multiple times in the game and had the audacity to question the penalty call. Time and time again, this player would rather flop than stand up for his nonsense. A true coward. I guarantee he doesn't have the full respect of his teammates, I highly doubt Toronto will re-sign him.

I'm not saying you, I'm saying they will come

Or left your feet before making contact...

All on the same play:
Interference
Charge (left his feet prior to contact)
Hit to the head

Expecting 2 games for him. Sich a stupid play.

He definitely jumped into it a little bit, but that part wasn't terribly egregious. If there was no injury/hit to the head on the play, I highly doubt he would have been called for charging (even if he could have been by definition).

Well, that has nothing to do with why I started the thread.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Suspend him for two games. That was vicious.

 

[LemonSauceD]

That’s a 3 gamer if I’ve ever see one.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Looks like he even starts to raise his hands as if to say “what did I do” before Cernak even hits the ice. Me thinks he knew he screwed up.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Clearly interference, point of contact also looks intentionally chosen, and it was the head. Seems like the right call to me.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Well, that has nothing to do with why I started the thread.

I never mentioned you starting a thread. I only said that eventually people defending the hit will come? I don't understand where the disconnect is?

 

[RaginRonic]

My take...

Cernak wears a Tampa sweater. Cernak is open season for whatever happens to him on ice as his punishment for playing for Tampa, the New York Yankees of the NHL.

Tough for Tampa....it's what they get for being in power and in Gary's ear writing his cheques.

When Schiefele did it, at least the guy had the puck.

Well, it was in the net if you want to get real technical.

 

[FinnLightning26]

After listening to the Sportsnet feed for the whole game, this has to be the referees fault somehow.

 

[Finnflash]

I would say 4 games

You're using an avatar with a Booins' player in it on this forum, so therefore, your opinion doesn't matter, and is judged as self-serving pandering to another city that has no right to an NHL team. > = P

 

[Guided by Veseys]

It was reckless at best and ended up in a bad result. Similar to Kadri on Faulk. No intent to injure, just an over aggressive hockey play. Maybe a game?
