News Article: Kassian to have hearing with league (Suspended 2 games)

[McDNicks17]

I fully support Zack, but dude needs to zip it instead of telegraphing his intentions.

If it's completely legal according to the league, there's no issue.

 

[Coffey]

WHEW, that billboard thread is giving me a good time.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I think the big difference between us and Calgary is when our player does something stupid we often understand why they did it but still call the player out for doing something dumb.

Calgary just bends over backwards to say their guy is super good and could never do ANYTHING wrong.

Like when Nurse went after Polak. We saw that in the heat of the moment he thought he was in the right but was really in the wrong. And we would say that.

Haven't even seen it but heard Zack on the radio. Good for him. #NHL's a joke

 

[Weitz]

I think the game on the 29th will be a pretty listless game without much animosity. NHL will be watching and no one will want to take a stupid penalty.

Its also a back to back for Calgary and first after the break for Edmonton.

He put the NHL and Parros into their place, just by using their own words. He let it be known that they are open for dangerous hits, and precedent has been set that you'll be protected if you're the one doling out the predatory hits.

I fully agree. I think we'll see Kassian make a hit or two, that are legitimately clean against the boards. Nothing jaw dropping. Then, one open ice hit that will be called immediately and the refs will call it that way to control it from there on out.

Might we see a scouted opening shift hit much like the one he dished on McKinnon earlier this earlier. Spotted a tendency of McKinnon's and dished out a vicious hit on the first shift. I hope so. And it doesn't need to be on Tkachuk, any of Calgary's best 5 players will do.

That’s exactly what’s going to happen.

 

[Fourier]

Yup. Kass may think he now has a clearer picture of what the league allows as far as hits, but he’s kidding himself. Every game is reffed differently, every suspendable act is assessed differently. Zero chance he walks away with nothing if he makes similar hits on guys. Especially if they milk it and stay in the fetal position on the ice for a while. His biggest mistake in all of this was doing the honorable thing and not staying down. Likely a different outcome if he stayed on the ice for a bit. And not that I’m suggesting he should of, but that’s the way it appears you get the leagues attention these days.

No Bob...I disagree. I think the League has a clear picture of what is legal and what is not and the refs enforce the rules consistently and without prejudice. For example, this is worth a game misconduct:

Here's the major to get your blood boiling again.

This gets you 5, a game and two more for good measure:



And this is perfectly legal and sanctioned by the league:



How much clearer could they be??

(Just in case it was not clear )

The more I see that hit on Kassian the more it pisses me off.

Well, that's a pleasant change...

About f***ing time.

Hopefully they also sent video of the suspendable blindside headshot Sam Bennett threw on Draisaitl.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Didn’t he confirm in another interview that he was too chicken to fight Kass.

I'm guessing that billboard gets littered in ****s within hours.

I was wondering how it was received by them because the only one who really said anything in favour of Ratf*** was Andersson.
