Dubinsky suspended one game.

[MAHJ71]

Pittsburgh, and their fans, are soft and they expect the league to do their work for them. The team is made up of cowards. The Romanian figure skating team is probably more physical.

Hey! We finally agree on something!

On a related note I figured a decision would have been released by now.. Are they awaiting Cindy to tell them what he wants?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Maybe Lemieux will pay any fines Dubinsky has since he apparently doesn't get along with Crosby anymore.

Ha

 

[We Want Ten]

The hate towards him makes me love him more

I've honored the ******** with a new avatar.

If the refs had done something about Hornqvist in the first place, it never would have happened.

Edit: To be clear, I expect a deserved suspension for Dubinsky.

Agree, refs inaction on Hornquist cheapshot started the ball rolling

 

[MAHJ71]

Dubi suspended for one game.. damn. Cindy wins.

 

[Bobcat110]

Appease the pens fans. Not a biggie.

One game well earned.

 

[MAHJ71]

One game well earned.

I suppose so..

 

[DJA]

BS. sigh

 

[Socks]

I support this suspension. Not the act but I'm behind Dubi 200%.

This is the league basically saying. "Eh, we don't really want to suspend you. However, you did touch Sidney Crosby so we have to do something."

And all that coming from fans of a team that has recently employed Matt Cooke and James Neal, and has usually had at least one garbage player going all the way back to Ulf Samuelsson.

Running star and/or skill players and not dropping the gloves is a girl, not an agitator. Sorry bro. Running is different than a clean hit that was part of the play.

You'll see the runners, they'll get out there and just chase around a skill player before completing an uncalled charge.

Seriously though, if you won't fight Calvert you've got some real testosterone problems.

HEY, I'm female and I'm not running. I'm punching!!

 

[ReggieRed]

Pens fans are as pissed at their team for not responding to the Dubi hit as they are at Dubi.

Wow, Dubi is the devil on the mains. He will probably get suspended because the hit was high but I don't think that hit was very hard and Dubi wasn't even looking him. Surprised there was no response from his teammates. To me, that says a lot.

A lot of the Penguin drivel on the mains seems to be of the "Dubi takes liberties and doesn't back it up" or "Someone needs to beat his face in and then he'll stop". But I don't remember any time that Dubi has backed down from anyone...am I wrong?

 

[We Want Ten]

Good. He will be well rested for the next game then. Business as usual.

You're a braver man than most with that avi.

Those are the meanest kind! I've learned the hard way, never get a girl hockey player pissed at you on the ice. That's a no win situation.

Hornqvist was the one who wouldn't back it up after Calvert challenged him to drop the gloves (following the boarding then cross checking that didn't get called). That's when the refs totally lost control of the game.

I'd prefer if the suspension was a little longer. This isn't a bad tradeoff for Dubi. Knock out Sid and you only get a game for it? Lots of players will take that deal.

I don't want that kind of garbage in the game and the league needs to provide serious disincentives for it.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Pwunguins fans have wet dreams of having a player like Dubinsky on their team

Why should they increase the suspension to appease to HFBoards?

Everyone on the mains is always looking for something to be upset about it.

It's ludicrous to suggest the DOPS doesn't care about it's players...especially one of the faces of the NHL.

Where did i say anything about hfboards? A guy just got crosschecked in the neck. This is a serious risk to player safety and you're trying to dismiss it like it's just some rabble cooked up on the Internet?

I'm not disagreeing that it happened that way. The DOPS doesn't take player safety lightly is what I am saying. What do they have to gain by only going for one game? It's not going to cause a run on stars now.

 

[NotWendell]

It means Dubi knows the next time he does it (if he were to do it), the suspension would be much more severe.
