Mangiapane check to head of McCann (suspended 1 game)

[Lunatik]

I didn't know that scummery existed.

It was ugly, but this is just a dumb comment. Much worse things have happened, there have been similar plays that were worse.

I didn't say it was the worst of the scummery, just a very eclectic variety of scum.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

That's the Jamie Benn special.

He should be sitting 5+ games at least.

 

[potatowejj]

Cross checks up high from above like that ought to be automatic 5+ game suspensions.

 

[Waterbuf]

Just not even a hockey play. Especially after someone died, this play done wrong could also kill someone. 10 games imo.

 

[12ozPapa]

Couple of games. Bigger question is did he bet on anything? If he did, 41 games!!!

 

[ORRFForever]

Stick to the neck is a recipe for disaster. Give him at least 2 games.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

In-person hearing for that, IMO.

you literally said you didn't know that level existed...

 

[Ezekial]

I never used the word level. I said:
A high stick cross check to the back of a guy's head who was on his stomach on the ice. I didn't know that scummery existed.

That's a very unique blend of things all rolled up into one my friend.

 

[DapperCam]

Throw the dart! Throw the dart!

Actually I think they spin a wheel now

 

[Kryten]

10. Send a message. Hes not good enough to get a slap on the wrist

 

[Tobias Kahun]

5 games

 

[wasunder]

clean. Good Defence.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

10+ that’s not hockey.

 

[Sheppy]

The force legitimately bashed his chin off the ice. This is a bad one.

 

[Reinhart]

I think it gets two. Benn got two, with a record, but in the playoffs, but also happened away (or much after) the play. Mangiapane has been pretty clean up until now, McCann came returned to the game, and the puck was there.

So if Been got 2, but in the playoffs, so 4.. but then minus one for the puck being there, half a game for McCann returning half a game for Mangiapane having a clean record.

In other words, I have absolutely what the verdict will be.

 

[Three On Zero]

Should be minimum 5 games

 

[Fulham]

This seems so malicious for no absolutely no reason.

 

[JPeeper]

Don't see this being anything less than 4 games. Just a dumb play.

Still not a better video? That video looks like he crosschecks him in the upper back. Still bad, but that's much different than crosschecking him in the back of the head into the ice.

 

[Duke749]

Byfuglien got 4 games like 5-6 years ago for a very similar play.

it was in the neck

 

[The Crypto Guy]

it was in the neck

Found a better video, yes that was pretty disgusting. Gotta be 4-5 games I think.

Here is the better video for anyone who wants to see:

Flames' Mangiapane assessed match penalty vs. Kraken, ejected from game

Flames leading scorer Andrew Mangiapane was assessed a match penalty on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken for intent to injure and was subsequently ejected from the game.

It appears Mang lost his balance. Don’t see it suspension worthy. Even a game misconduct is a little unfair.

Lol lost his balance but got that stick hard down to back of his head to make sure his face smashed the ice. I guess Bertuzzi also fell on top of Moore, he slipped. Lol
