Meier Crosschecks L’Heureux in the Face (Suspended 1 game)

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

This was hardly intentional, the first crosscheck was standard.

Likely a fine based on precedence.

I agree with your reasoning based on precedence. In a sane league trying to protect players heads though, this should be a game suspension at least.

Players are responsible for their sticks. He may not have been trying to cross check him in the face but that’s what ended up happening.

This was one of the easiest major penalties to asses, obviously it was a 5 minute major. I'd be shocked if he got more than 1 game though.

 

[BHD]

It was a chippy game. Hischier went psycho after Lauzon messed with him.

I have a feeling we’re gonna be seeing a lot of L’Heureux threads for the next decade. That guy is a massive douche on the ice.

A douche is a hygienic product so I’ll take that as a compliment

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Should be 2 games.

 

[Casey Jones]

I felt terrible for the other guy when I saw him go down and and crawl on the ice holding his mouth with blood dripping

 

[LemonSauceD]

Who the f*** is Meier's?

I don’t understand these smart ass comments. You know who he was referring to. You just sound lame.

 

[MXD]

- 5 and a GMC was warranted. Maybe 1 game suspension.
- This is otherwise a very obvious case of FAFO.

I don't take huge issue with the major, but am happy with what Meier did.

L’Heureux had it coming, but wish it was Louzon. Pulled the same can opener/body slam move on Hischier that he did on Hughes a few years ago. Guy is a low key dirty player.

Haha yup. Look at his history in the Q. Suspended 9 times in 3 years lol. Then twice in his only season in the AHL. Also models his game off of Marchand and Tkachuck.

How does this get a hearing while Quinn Hughes attack from behind on Norris doesnt get a look from the league?

Double standard cuz the league protects its stars

Your first mistake was expecting consistency from the DOPS.

Except Marchand and Tkachuk have skill. This little twit has none of the skill, or gumption, to back up being a turd.

Well considering he was over a PPG every year in junior except his rookie season where he was close. Then was drafted in the first round of the NHL draft. Then was close to PPG as an AHL rookie. Then made the NHL at 21. He definitely has skill.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Send Meier's ass home for a couple of games

 

[Forge]

5 minute major and game misconduct was the right call.

I figure probably a game or two suspension. This isn't nearly as egregious as the Morgan Rielly situation, for example.

 

[MakoSlade]

Dirtbag play by a dirtbag player. Enjoy your suspension.

Hater post by a hater poster. Enjoy your hate!

 

[TheBeerNerd]

No issue with what Meier did.

It's a penalty for sure, but not a major/game misconduct/probable suspension-worthy one. Not even close. Possibly a worse call than Quinn Hughes getting tossed a few nights back.

 

[Crow]

Stick got up high a little. Whatever. Fine maybe.

Worth it.

I don’t think anyone thinks .73 ppg is close to ppg. I’d say needs to start with a .9x to be considered close, but has some promise.

 

[Leafidelity]

I was told the NHL was setting the standard at 2 games when Matthews did the exact same thing ?
