Confirmed with Link: Lundqvist Fined $5000

[justanomade]

After the game tonight, Fleury will complain about beeing sprayed with ice because of all the Rangers in his zone.

 

[Cake or Death]

How ****tsburgh fans live with themselves is beyond me.

What a ****ing JOKE the entire pens organization and the NHL is.

To be fair, there are some real good fans there who have been with the team a long time, through thick and thin, and know the game pretty well. You'll even see a lot of those fans internally joke about the fair weather, no nothing Pens 'fans.' It's fun to have playoff hate and what not, but let's not generalize an entire fan base.

 

[Cake or Death]

On topic, that has to be the best $5k Hank ever spent lol. And I am actually kind of glad Cindy didn't get suspended for the spear. Cindy has been relatively quiet and in my life I have never seen a team captain come unglued so easily. When Cindy loses his head, I think he might be more of a distraction to his team than anything else. The whole team follows Cindy's lead and gets off their game. It works like a charm.

 

[nyr2k2]

Totally worth it. I'm sure Hank feels the same way.

 

[Miamipuck]

If he didn't make 8 mill a year I would consider taking up a kitty to pay the fine for him. It was worth $1,000,000 to douse the biggest baby in the league.

 

[The Gloaming]

So Crosby can spear Moore in the nutsack, but heaven forbid Cindy gets a little water in his face.

 

[The Gloaming]

Torts was completely right about that garbage organization in Pittsburgh. HE just said what everyone was thinking but was too afraid to say.

I was thinking that the entire time AV was speaking after the game.

 

[Florida Ranger]

Hank probably doesn't care at all. lol

Re: Hank's fine and Crosby getting nothing for nutshot and slewfoot, the Pens board was like:

"Great, like the Rags needed more ammunition to play all-out and kill us."

haha

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Luckily the team seems focused enough to not mimic the outrage on this board.

Who cares? Lundqvist will find that in his couch cushions....and Crosby will remain frustrated and whiny.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Come on you guys, stop complaining about this. He knew he was getting fined as he skated up to do it.

They're still laughing about it in the Ranger's dressing room.

Yeah, can't understand why people are upset that this elicited a fine. He SHOULD be fined for it; I'm sure he'd admit so, and I'm sure he'd do it again.

How can Lundqvist be fined for something that he admits was a complete accident?

Not saying they will win. Think it is 50/50. But I was very impressed with the post game locker room. Seemed very business like, very unemotional. They have a job to do and have not done anything yet. Boyle said as much. Very impressive.

 

[Isles Junkie]

What bothers me is that if he squirted some player on say the Wild or Panthers, there would be no fine.

 

[pjdude]

Way to go Hank!!!

So much inconsistency in this league.

 

[The Pope*]

Cindy is upset he's planning on suing the New York Ranger organization for waterboarding him.... which is against the law Since Pres. Obama has abolished the practice ..hee..hee

The complaint is not that Lundqvist got fined, it's that he got fined while Crosby got nothing for his spear and his slew foot, both actions worth some form of discipline, at least they have been when committed by other players.

Exactly. I won't argue that he didn't deserve the fine, but what bugs me is that the NHL didn't address what led to the incident.

 

[n8]

i was just thinking, Crosby could raise a lot of money for charity if he was to do one of those dunk pool things. People would be lining up from all over.

This. Soooooo much this.

 

[TheTakedown]

Sometimes I miss Torts a bit. Wouldn't have him back, but if he's unemployed I wouldn't mind him being hired just for the post game press conferences.

lets make him another eye in the sky. he could learn a thing or two from this coaching staff...

we're still paying him right? Might as well put that to good use :p

Meh, usually those things have the dunkee sitting behind a partition or something that prevents you from throwing the ball at their face rather than the target. So I'll pass.
