Can the NHL suspend someone due to an attempt with blatant intent

[Roomtemperature]

Yes a recent elbowing attempt by... idk let's say for privacy sake is Jacob T... no that's too obvious... let's say J. Trouba, inspired this but can the NHL in the CBA suspend someone for intent that wiffs if the refs miss it. Like a more extreme example is swinging your stick at a head that is missed or taking off your skate to stab someone

Yes

 

[kickback256]

Definitely following. Curious, especially for the blatant elbow attempt followed by the (unintentional) skate to the back of the helmet that could have ended very, very badly.

Blatant attempt... at what? Finish the thread title before you post.

 

[Pancakes]

Sure they could.

They never would unless a guy like took a swing with his stick at someone's head and missed or something.

A missed hit? That's never gonna register.

For those who didn’t see it

 

[StreetHawk]

Will not happen. NHL likely views it as Necas ducking out of the way and Trouba ends up going over him as he committed to the hit.

 

[TheNumber4]

Just call him Captain Headshot OP.

Is the box score missing the charging penalty by Trouba or was this somehow not called?

No call

Trouba got nothing but himself

Trouba managed to elevate his elbow just in time to miss the head, then leapt over the poor lad it was a smart and caring play

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

At 0:07 you can see what would have been a massive elbow to the mush.

 

[ViD]

He should absolutely get a hearing. It’s unbelievable luck that the Canes player was unharmed, but he needs to be warned to stop this head hunting

Injure, elbow, charge, board, stab with a skate

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Probably not.

But wow if that landed, Necas would have been out cold.

 

[Breakers]

WOW

I never saw that angle in the broadcast

That is a MASSIVE elbow attempt
Holy Frank.

 

[Steddy33]

If the NHL didn't suck at everything that would be a long suspension

For those who didn’t see it

that skate coming down is f***ing TERRIFYING holy shit

Ok now that I seen the play that motherf***er right there should be arrested and charged with attempted murder nevermind suspended.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I hope so. Trouba being in the lineup is the Canes' most dangerous weapon.


He's terrible.


Throw the book at him.

Lol warned. The NHL loves when Captain Headshot goes off.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm sure the embarrassment is enough here.

 

[Rowlet]

Skinner got suspended for kicking his skates out while he was on down on the ice because it's dangerous if he hit another player

He never did, but he still got suspended for it

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I remember Lupul trying to decapitate Sedin and missing. Ended up hitting Kadri (own teammate) with the flying elbow after Sedin ducked out of the way. I was shocked there was no suspension considering it was a reckless play.
