Post-Game Talk: GAME 9 - THROW THE CAT OFF THE CLIFF!!!! - BRUINS 3 Sunrise 2 F/OT

[Sheppy]

He’s got a history, too. He was suspended for a head shot before.

I thought 2-3, he got 4.

You just can’t make that hit.

 

[Alicat]

Heh. Imagine if OEL was actually hurt?

I guess I can live with 4 seeing that he has other questionable face hits. It’s a bit much. But whatever. True, you just never know with league. They could have been dramatic and given him 10 and I wouldn’t be in complete shock.

They'd try to throw the book at him.

I'm tired of injury or a percieved injury factoring into suspensions. Penalize the play itself and not the result.

 

[goldnblack]

Was never gonna be 2. The 2 game gang be crazy.

3-4 is right, he got the high end. Let's play DA YUTES now. We got this.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Wasn't expecting 4 games, not suprised DOPS loves piling it on to the Bruins when they have a chance.

 

[bruinmann77]

Just as long as the NHL gives out equal justice

3 was the right number. He got booted from the game and given the match add 2 games to the mandatory 1 and call it a day.

Yeah…as I said, 10 wouldn’t have completely shocked me with that gang down there. So I’m happy to get it dealt with and manageable.

I agree with this.

This^

 

[Absurdity]

I didn't think it warranted the same as Andersson's suspension.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Really bad timing for Boston with the Gryz injury and the tough upcoming schedule. At least they have built a bit of a cushion with their great start.

 

[BamBamCam]

4-5 games? McAvoy isn't getting 4.

 

[Sheppy]

3 was the right number. He got booted from the game and given the match add 2 games to the mandatory 1 and call it a day.

He also had another high hit that got all head earlier in the game. He made two dumb plays.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

We all know that will never happen. They literally close their eyes and throw darts at a dartboard to determine these suspensions.

 

[lopey]

Well we wil now see how ready Lohrei is.

 

[Alicat]

He also had another high hit that got all head earlier in the game. He made two dumb plays.

That shouldn't factor in at all. The refs never called it and no one would have given it a second thought had Paul Maurice not whined like a whiney child post game in an attempt to lobby the league

 

[Sheppy]

He also shouldn’t have hit someone in the head with clear intent.

Again, he has a history of a head shot suspension.

I'll let McAvoy tell me what his intent was.

 

[Sheppy]

I'll let McAvoy tell me what his intent was.

Hahahaha. Jesus.

Two hits in one game, both clear head shots where he explodes upwards. The second one he even left his feet.

 

[Gordoff]

Clifton almost the same hit as the McAvoy‘s and Cliffy got two games

Actually worse IMO. Cliffy's hit was against the boards. Also, Hischier ended up leaving the game with a possible concussion IIRC. Don't know if OEL is going to be out but it seems NH is going to miss some time. IMO they need to take into account if a player misses time before they hand out suspensions or add onto a suspension if later a player is out for significant time i.e. Marc Savard. Don't get me wrong, what CM did was serious and premeditated to a certain degree but 4 games when Cliffy got 2?

 

[Aussie Bruin]

That would seem to be his only defense.

It certainly wasn't careless or accidental.

Yep, and clearly DoPS thought so too. 4 games is fine. Silly hits like this one need to be punished. Do the time Charlie, and come back all the better for it.

 

[RoccoF14]

3 was the right number. He got booted from the game and given the match add 2 games to the mandatory 1 and call it a day.

We’re splitting hairs now. 3 games…..4 games. Whatever. It was a moment of stupidity and I don’t have an issue with the suspension. This is his second offense.

 

[Aeroforce]

Four games against probable playoff teams, and also no Grzelcyk.

Hoping for .500/ 4 points; anything else is a bonus.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

We all know that will never happen. They literally close their eyes and throw darts at a dartboard to determine these suspensions.

These kinds of responses are so lame.

Remember Bunting kicking Freddy not a peep.
