Joe Veleno. Suspended 5 games.

[Chainshot]

Should be a multi-game suspension by he IIHF. Not sure what the ramifications will be when next Veleno plays Niederriter in the NHL but a beating there would be warranted too.

 

[Raymones]

He's getting some comments on his instagram-account.

Yup. Even Red Wing fans come down hard on him.

 

[jj cale]

McDavid?

I wish!! him alone would have been the difference for us today.

But that's not happening so it's been out of my mind for at least 2 weeks now. But it might increase a guy like fantillis minutes and I think that would be a wise decision for this team.

 

[jonas2244]

Niederreiter said he apologized after the game.

Swiss officials saying they're waiting for the verdict and if it's too low in their opinion they have the option to appeal.

 

[Bileur]

He should be banned from all hockey for a lenghty period, IMO. At least for the year. That's disgusting, deliberate and career threatening.

I don’t know about all hockey but IIHF ban for a few years would be reasonable.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I don’t know about all hockey but IIHF ban for a few years would be reasonable.

The rest of this tournament at minimum.

 

[independent observer]

I truly hope that incident on Nino get reviewed and Veleno gets banned for the entire tournament. Such things are extremely dangerous and there should be no place in hockey for that.

What a waste of pick by the red wings… this guy should also be banned from the NHL. Maybe put him in prison.

Chris Simon got 30 game ban in the NHL for something similar.

 

[Hockeyholic]

That's about as bad as it gets. If this were the NHL, he would (HOPEFULLY) be gone for at least 10 games.

He shouldn't be able to attend international tournaments for the foreseeable future.

 

[gojetsgo]

thank god nino is ok...

Not surprised, Nino is far from being a dirty player

Really ugly play from Veleno

How is Fantilli doing in your eyes?

What did Nino apologize for?

 

[jonas2244]

I meant Velenlo with "he", not Nino. Nino was pretty upset even after the game.

I’m presuming you’ve never played a sport in your life after making a comment like this.

In the heat of the moment, you try to do an action to benefit you because you’re a competitor and it results in something stupid like this.

Doesn’t mean you should be warranting prison time lol. This is probably the worst comment I’ve ever seen on this site.

He deserves a suspension of 5-10 games. If they really want to make an example of it, give him 15+. But to go to prison? Come on now lol

 

[Gsus]

Something like 15 games is probably right, so out of this tourney.

 

[SwissFan12]

Start from 2.30mn, you can see how bad it is and also, the dive Veleno makes when Nino turns at him (play this video at lower speed and you can see that Nino never hits him).

Just an ulgy hockey play all around.

 

[Fjordsen]

What a dumb play.

 

[CapSpace]

He should be banned from international tournaments forever. This is disgusting.

For sure one of the dumbest player i have ever seen

 

[cole von cole]

Hopefully the IIHF makes better calls than the DoPS and suspends Veleno for at least the rest of this tournament

 

[ThaiTanicDK]

The stomp is awful enough.

The dive afterwards was pathetic.

Should be at least 3 games suspension if not thrown from the tournament to set an example.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

what the hell? Iam baffled by Nino's calm reaction, i would be already in swinging mode...

 

[vlady]

I only saw this a few minutes ago, I couldn't watch the game live. I'm frankly horrified. What kind of an asshole do you have to be to do this. Probably suspension until the end of the tournament.

The longest suspension that I can remember in an IIHF event was for Mika Hannula, I believe it was 5 games and he hadn't played at the WC since that ban.

 

[BraveCanadian]

No excuse for that, and an "I'm sorry" doesn't even begin to cover a lapse in judgement of that degree. Some stuff you just don't do.
