Rumor: Matthews Suspension 2 Games

[Budz22]

If I jaywalked, I would prob get a slap on the wrist.

If I jaywalked wearing a Leafs jersey, I would get minimum 10 years in prison.

 

[DueDiligence]

Well maybe this will spur on the rest of the Leafs, pull their heads form their butts and actually play well without Matthews propping them up.

 

[Sypher04]

The good, perhaps Dmen think twice before cheap shotting Matty.

The bad, lose both games and Bruins beat Chicago and we are tied. Does that mean the Bruins are also elite ??

Truth be told I don’t think it really matters whether we finish 3rd or 4th. Unless we are taking a home ice position the task is tall either way. In some ways drawing Florida instead of Tampa may actually be favourable. I’d rather face Bob than Vasi if given the choice

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bettman is notoriously slow with appeals so it might not matter, but Matthews and the Leafs should collect every piece of video evidence getting posted on Twitter of equal and worse infractions that resulted in no suspension and stuff it in his mailbox for the appeal. If we’re lucky maybe that weasel will get to it fast enough that Matthews only misses one game.

 

[Jozay]

Parros is clearly corrupt with an agenda against the Leafs. That's indisputable at this point, it doesn't even need to be debated. But what I have a problem with is Shanahan, again, doing absolutely nothing to call out Parros or the league for this.

Parros is just a f***ing idiot

 

[PhysicX]

In a vacuum yes he should be suspended. With the precedent this league sets? Absurd that he is the only guy to get games for this. Other similar plays have always got a fine.

Habs fan here quoting the above-mentioned for truth.

League's consistency on these cases is slim-to-none.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

The Leafs need to call this shit out. Enough is enough. Can it be any more obvious that Perros has a personal vendetta when it comes to the Leafs??

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Nothing about this btw

This ones way worse than the matthews incident. Insane

 

[BertCorbeau]

parros clearly has a vendetta against the Leafs

 

[DcW]

I hope Shanny and Dubas come out strong against the suspension. Set the tone from the top “are we going to get pushed around and not respond” or “defend our guy”. This will say a lot one way or another

 

[BertCorbeau]

How does a guy with no track record go straight to two games when president says otherwise?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Do we have some comparable cross checks to the head that were suspended for this length?

 

[Burnie97]

This suspension is f***ing bullshit. What a bunch of assholes who are running the DoPS. f*** all the way off.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Would be different if this was the established bar. Yet there has been no consistency by the DoPS.

Can the Leafs challenge it? I hope they do.

What did Biden say? I must have missed it

Seriously though, this is a total mess.

League only cracks down on abuse when a Leafs player finally strikes back. Matthews gets no calls in his favour for all of the cross checks he gets delivered, but as soon as he stands up for himself the league says “none of that”

Shanahan needs to step up and throw down in the media. The league needs to be challenged for its integrity.

 

[LeafSteel]

Bullshit.

Pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Parros needs to go. He is an incompetent, over his head asshat who is wildly inconsistent.

From the refs to the DOPS the NHL has a festering problem here.

It’s just unacceptable that there is so much blatantly inconsistent decisions are being made here, both on and off the ice.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Absurd.

Most of us are thinking about the 2 games, but Matthews also loses real money for this nonsense. This type of inconsistency is ridiculous.

Hahaha damn autocorrect

Not really. He has Sb. He gets paid league min in the season

 

[Leafidelity]

Time to take the team fine and call the DoPS out. Parros is about as consistent as his brain waves, and very clearly has a vendetta.

 

[Stephen]

Is there any agenda at play when Jeremy Jacobs Boston Bruins are 2 points behind the Leafs and could be 2 points ahead of the Leafs after Matthews’ suspension?

 

[Atomos2]

This leagues is a damn disgrace. MLSE should just pull out. Watch the NHL wither and die without their millions to comfort them and make their own league without f***ing corrupt officials.

 

[Stephen]

Habs fan here quoting the above-mentioned for truth.

The common denominator here is lenient calls for Jeremy Jacobs and the Boston Bruins. Crooked league is crooked.

 

[Mats13]

Absolute garbage

Can he appeal this?

I would love if he released a video of all the cross checks that were just fines. The only reason this is a suspension is because of the jersey he wears.
