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

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Seems about right.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Why would he do that?

His job is on the line. So probably that.

 

[notbias]

Guy probably whined and complained so they upped it

I know Bunting is disliked... 3 just seems pretty excessive.

 

[Sinistril]

I know how I will show them being childish, by wishing ill on someone!

I didn't wish ill on anyone. I simply said I would have no sympathy for the worst fan base in the nhl

ah my bad, that makes you seem much saner.

 

[Matt24]

3 is too much. And will just lead to more victim complex Leafs fans. Shoulda just given him 2 and saved the whining to come.

 

[Leaf Fans]

His job is on the line. So probably that.

He has been on expiring contract the season. I don't think it would be that. I don't know if GMs are required to go to the meetings. I don't think Dubas was there.

 

[hamzarocks]

3 is what kadri got in 2018 after he had prior year suspensions (2014 he got a reg season suspension for 2 gamss I think)

Seems a bit harsh to be 3 games.

But it is what it is

 

[Panthaz89]

3 games for his first offense or did I miss that he already got suspended before?

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

3 is coming down extra hard on Bunting because he is dislikable, but that's what you get for having him on your team. It is kind of funny though because history is repeating itself and Leafs fans were adamant that Dubas' convo in the league would help things.

Who knows, maybe it helps the Leafs.

I meant Dubas. Bunting while a twat, is still a skilled and useful player that increases Toronto's odds if playing.

I don't think three is too much, nor do I ever feel victimized. What whining?

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Wes McCauley must have put in a call to DPOS

 

[All Mod Cons]

So like 6 games and then half that he missed.

So 7 games in total?

 

[Irishguy42]

Suspending him for the remainder of the series is way too harsh.

Classic DoPS...

 

[sennysensen]

Meh, it helps the Leafs having a short-fused moron out of the lineup.

 

[Warden of the North]

3 seems too much in the context of his disciplinary history and it being the playoffs, but it's probably the right amount in a vacuum.

Anyways, Knies is ready to go.

 

[TaLoN]

Suspending him for the remainder of the series is way too harsh.

Classic DoPS...

 

[Skolman]

This is 100% McCauley's decision.

I blame him

 

[Emerica]

David Frost's influence strikes again!

I heard he once had dinner back in the day with Parros’ spouse’s cousin.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Still doesn't make up for losing Cernak, but definitely surprised at the length.

 

[Amadeus]

I think its the right call. He definitely deserves the suspension.

 

[SI90]

Thought he’d only get a game. 3 games is good by me. Was dangerous and unnecessary. Funny thing is this probably helps the leafs. Addition by subtraction

 

[RDTBay4]

He got three because Cernak wasn't even in the play. He took a clean run at a defenseless player's head. Extremely dirty play. Clearly hitting to injure.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I am guessing if Bunting didn't jump into it, and it was completely incidental, he would have only gotten a game. But since he targeted the head by jumping into it, they gave him 3. Basically "We know you were trying to be a twat, and you got caught".
