Michael Bunting kicks Trent Frederic with his skate. Intentional or lost balance?

[BostonBob]

Snowflakes abound but we all know this has everything to do with the uniform and nothing to do with the little boot. People are so full of it here

What a dumbass comment. Like there wouldn't be any outrage if the kick came from a Devils player or a Wild player. You're completely " full of it " for posting such garbage.

I guess Bunting won't be suspended because if he was wouldn't there have been an announcement by now for a hearing on Twitter from the NHL Player Safety account.

George Parros maybe horrible at his job, however he's following the precedent when nothing happened to Kucherov for kicking Marner, so it would have been a joke if Bunting got suspended based on that.

You are too fixated on comparing random outliers to what a Leafs player does.
Context matters.

Matt Cooke was a psychopath on skates (and thus protected).
There have been some others, but that guy pretty much defined intent to maim.

He, Torres, and Ott.

Sportsnet clearly seen the play but decided to not say a thing as usual, they have isolation cameras on the players, they ignored. If it was Marchand the panel would have been calling for blood, the replay would have been shown non stop. Even the highlites from the sports news channels had that footage but left it out.

Craig Simpson whined about the goalie stick clip and went on about a fantom Krejci stick to the glove non call. Later on Flinstone head Freidman was crying about the non stick call again, even when they had the footage of why the Bruin players were after dirt bag Bunting, they decided or were told not to comment.

What are you talking about?

Craig Simpson literally said ‘Murray immediately said someone hit his glove’ the. When he saw the interview said ‘I don’t know that’s a really tough call’ aka that’s not interference. You guys literally make up garbage so you can whine about how the leafs get preferential treatment despite no evidence.

You throw your stick at any point it’s a penalty. End. He didn’t drop his stick in the crease trying to make a save he launched it. There’s a difference.

Does anyone have a clip of this ‘kick’ from the side?

They should look to the Leafs game in Detroit as evidence that they don't get preferential treatment when Bobby McMann's 1st NHL goal was disallowed, because he kicked the pick towards Olli Maatta's skate and Maatta kicked the puck into his own net. The Red Wings didn't even complain about the puck going into the net and it was the situation room in Toronto who wanted to look at the replay.

Scumbag play by Bunting

 

[The90]

Calling it a "kick" speaks volumes.

Not really. I want to see another angle. Things look different from different angles. If he did in fact kick him then Chuck the book at him. I just like to educate myself before I sharpen my pitchfork and light my torch. The fact that you don’t, speaks volumes.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Never known Gally to be a diver. But even then ok. Gally needs to retire anyway.
Bunting reminds me of the guy that starts shit and then hides behind his bigger brother.

I even hear most leaf players favorite sport outside of hockey is swimming and diving, with a little bit of soccer mixed in for good measure. Most also love to scubaDIVE in their spare time. Leafs typical anyway. Nothing new here.

Well, that is a whole lot of nothing.

They aren’t talking about the kick, they were showing the sequence that led to matching minors.

During the next intermission they are trying to show why the Bruins were going after Bunting and why that scrum happened at the end of the period and didn’t show or mention this once. Just showed a few other unrelated clips and said that Bunting was agitating.

Didn’t mention the kick a single time.



It’s pretty dangerous to kick someone when you have a razor sharp blade on your boot which is why it’s supposed to be an automatic match penalty . And we all know this defense has everything to do with the uniform and nothing to do with the kick. You are so full of it here.

They mentioned the play.

This is rich. You literally started an argument with me because of something someone else said in this thread.

Since there was no news about Bunting getting a hearing, I guess Bruins fans know what it's like when the George Parros and the Department of Player Safety screws up.

If you look at his suspensions to Leafs players over the past few years, if he thought Bunting should be suspended you don't think they would have done that?

Cool story if he actually threw it, but his own player knocked it out of his hands. So where does that leave you now?

Parros is incompetent in all directions and relies on Fines to drive his vision. Absolutely terrible and inconsistent at his job and setting the league backwards with player safety.

Parros never should have been eligible. The head of player safety needs to be a victim not a staged fighting goon.

Lmao. You came in here saying that you “like to do your research before bringing out the pitchforks” literally hours after you started an argument with me over something you claimed I said that was actually a quote from another leaf fan. And when I called you out on it you disappeared.

Poor hypocrite, is again the hypocrite, somehow.

You literally said in your post because of the colour of his jersey. I quoted exactly what you said.

Sick argument Dan. Back to your safe space if you don’t want to be called out

You forgot the protector of the bicycle lane, Sean Avery.

Here’s the post I was mocking. Maybe if you did your research you would have seen it.

It just isn't that big of a deal. In no way was that dangerous, the retaliatory slash was worse that that little nudge with the top of the boot. Snowflakes abound but we all know this has everything to do with the uniform and nothing to do with the little boot. People are so full of it here

So you “called me out” about words I directly copied from a leafs fan lol.

Seems like it will be nothing then. Would have heard something by now.

If Bunting is not suspended will you stop with the conspiracy theories about the league being out to screw over the Leafs?

Well so much for educating yourself I guess, you should probably sharpen that pitchfork a little sharper in that case, you’re going to need it.

 

[Ladyfan]

It's a black and white rule.

"A match penalty shall be imposed on any player who kicks or attempts to kick another player."

Rule 49.3.

This. any NHL player SHOULD know better than to kick.
