Should have been a suspension.

NHL really does nothing right.

 

[StCaufield]

Lucky he’s not suspended.

MarkJ you bastard, you put the Confirmed with Link prefix for this thread and you had me thinking the Habs made a move.

And here I thought he was a 5 star human being.

ah man I didn't check what else I could of put.

 

[Deebs]

Dirty play, should've been at least a game.

 

[Redux91]

Didn't like it
Be smarter
Also, be better, cuz so far
Yeesh

All good man.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I don't think it should've been a suspension, but it should have been called 2 for interference for sure.

The fine is whatever. It's meaningless. I don't care if these millionaires are fined $5000.

 

[MarkJ]

how about Gudas's dive?

Why is he even on this team? What a shitty trade honestly. This is a stain on HuGo's resume.

Could have traded Petry at 50% retention for a huge return. Instead we have a useless bottom pairing veteran.

Pittsburgh knew how useless he was and took advantage of clueless HuGo.

Time to bring in Térien as an assistant coach.

3m in dead cap for four years is worse than the equivalent length for 5m Matheson.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Whatever. NHL Player Safety is an oxymoron anyway. They don't give a shit about player safety.

 

[Sterling Archer]

No fine for Bennett for the knee on Harris? Sounds about right for the NHL...

You mean this 2023 Petry and Matheson??? I'll take Matheson, thanks very much.

 

[RC51]

what I saw was one guy about to get the puck and the other guy ready to SMASH HIM INTO THE BOARDS so the front guy turns to hit first. so it comes down to this. If you dont let me SMASH YOU you get a penalty

 

[sandviper]

Whatever, should had been a game at least.

Also a game for the guy who boarded WiFi.

Also a game for Gudas' attempted knee and maybe throw in a suspension for Bennet's knee.

Just suspend like 5 players and while we're at it, suspend the refs last night for a week for the piss poor job of controlling the game.

Wow he didnt even get a 2 for interference? Staal was just chasing the puck like he should. Matheson feared he was going to get hit once he had the puck? Of course he would have been hit…

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

If it was on Gudas or Tkachuk, I would've loved it, but thought it was stupid to do on someone like Staal.

Should've been given a 36 game suspension and let Wideman get significant ice time to finish the year.

3m in dead cap for four years is worse than the equivalent length for 5m Matheson.

I disagree, you're not taking into factor the return on a 50% Petry which would be a top level A prospect + 1st round pick.

Matheson at 5 million or a top level prospect + 1st at 3 million plus the prospect's salary.

It's a no Brainer. Horrible trade.

I never said keep Petry, I said they should have made a better trade. Matheson sucks and does nothing positive for this team moving forward. Just a stupid trade, I don't know how anyone can defend it. Pandering to authority is the only reason I can see.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Worth it. Time to up these fines. It was 5k in 1997.

Matheson for Petry is a great deal. Petey Petry emptied the tank during that 21 finals run. He's done. Bless his heart.

You think teams were lining up to give up cap space and futures for a washed up 2022 Jeff Petry?? Not a chance.

I said 50% retained didn't I? In that circumstance contenders would have been lining up to get him.
