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

[Dennis Bonvie]

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.

Not to mention the bad timing in the game itself.

McAvoy had just tied the game. Its the 3rd period and Bruins should have the momentum. Grz is already out. Dumb isn't a strong enough term for it.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

These kinds of responses are so lame.

But it's true, there is no consistency at all when it comes to DOPS discipline.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

OK.

But Andersson didn't get 6-7 games. He got 4. And Cliffy got 2.

You're talking like I don't think McAvoy should be suspended or something which is weird. I don't think he deserves, or will get, the same amount as Andersson for very obvious reasons. Laine may have had the puck but it was at the buzzer.

I think probably 3 but possibly 2 games.

You were saying.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

But it's true, there is no consistency at all when it comes to DOPS discipline.

Every situation is different.

If they are doing the job correctly, every year punishment should be harsher.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I figured 3 due to it being intentional. 4 due to repeat offender. If OEL had left the game, it would have been a lot more.

I don't think he ever returned to the game.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I don't think he ever returned to the game.

He didn't.

Charlie McAvoy Gets Four Game Suspension After ‘Dirty’ Hit on OEL

Boston defenseman Charlie McAvoy has been suspended four games after he was kicked out of Monday night’s game against the Panthers for his blatant hit to Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The suspension comes with a price: McAvoy will forfeit close to $198,000 with the money going to the Players’ Emergency...

Not saying there’s not a chance to improve. But there’s virtually zero possibility of such an entity ever being perceived in a positive light by fans with raging emotions and their own biases.

 

[Mione134]

Didn't expect 4. Don't think it warranted 4. But Chuckie has to be better than that.

 

[JOKER 192]

Just as long as the NHL gives out equal justice

I'll be looking out for equal punishment for similar infractions. I don't expect to see it though.

I'm all for lengthy suspensions for predatory hits like this one, what I want to see is consistency.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

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

From what I saw, Maurice barely mentioned it aside from when he was directly asked.

Charlie made two bad hits. Especially the second one. Simple as that. The opposing coach has nothing do with it.

Luckily, I’m guessing he will learn. Sometimes you catch head incidentally on a fast moving play. This wasn’t that. Especially on the second hit, Charlie had the time and space to either bypass the hit or the head entirely and didn’t. Just stupid and unnecessary.

I get that DoPS is wildly inconsistent. I'm one of the biggest complainers of them.

That said, glad they gave Charlie 4 games. No amount of Bruins-goggle explaining can justify that kind of predatory hit to the head. My wish is that DoPS would throw the book at everyone who makes the kind of hit Charlie did last night, regardless of extent of injury. I love big hits and fighting and the like, but I despise gutless crap like last night's incident. Has no place in hockey.

 

[TobanWest]

3 max is wht it should have been. He got the extra game because Paul Maurice whines incessantly

As long as the silver lining is an extended look at Lohrei I won't complain... As much. Have a feeling Mason will force his way into the team at some point.

 

[Gordoff]

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

There's an article in (IIRC) The Athletic regarding refereeing and it talks about the most vocal coaches who give the refs the most static. Paul Maurice was one at the head of the list.

 

[TobanWest]

Next man or kid up!

Head shots need to be serious a mind consistent. That's all I ask as they are dangerous. Chuck gets 4 for a head hit that could end a career and Pinto gets 44 for trying to end his own is weird to me.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

You were saying.

Congrats

 

[NeelyDan]

Test run of the team’s fortitude

 

[Ladyfan]

So...The player Charlie hit is OK ...right?

Paul Maurice has always been whiney. Always.

Charlie will own what he did and he will adjust. it was reckless and unnecessary and now he’s gotta watch from above and his wallet is a bit lighter.

Red Auerbach used to work refs regularly and always advocated it.

Just a guess, but BrindAmour and Berube were probably on that list too

If they aren't, that list is invalid.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Like others mentioned I'm scratching my head at why OEL? Wasn't even on their team last year

Maybe he was pissed at the trip by ORL on Pasta earlier in the game. He tripped pasta from behind using his legs. That was dangerous could of caused inhyr

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Could be the kid (Jake) has some significant mental health issues, there are some seemingly pretty distinct changes in his level of play that seem to reflect in his face, his energy.

Debrusk hasn't been nearly so bad as this. A lot of projecting this season by posters with diagnosis of trouble.
