Time to sharpen the Knies.....

 

[Stand Witness]

I don’t even want bunting playing but 3 games is outrageous

 

[Metroid]

Extra game just to show everyone they're not bias with Toronto.

Gives Knies some good time to show his stuff.

 

[Raging Bull]

I'll be the first:

So, the rest of the playoffs?

 

[TMLegend]

Deserved. No where near the puck, and you could argue intent to injure.

 

[Auston 316]

Hahahaha this league is hilarious.

I don’t care anymore if people think Leaf fans are whiners.

There’s something fishy going on - I don’t get mad watching WWE cuz I know it’s rigged.

Maybe it’s time to realize pro-sports ain’t much different.

Anyways carry on….

 

[WillyC]

If we win while he’s out… the Leafs can’t let him play again.

Might as well be the whole playoffs.

I think he's done as a leaf

He wasn't in good terms with Keefe to begin with

 

[leafsfan5]

he kinda sucks right now so it’s not a big loss, but 3 playoff games for a first time offender is crazy

 

[6ix]

I don’t like bunting so I’m fine with this. Can’t forcheck worth a damn. Bambi on skates.

 

[notbias]

two games

Bunting basically just got 6

 

[Superstar]

Parros giving him the Leaf-Kadri treatment.

 

[Palio]

Not that he will be missed, but 3 games seems outrageous.

Although it’s par for the course from the incompetence that was on display with the officiating last night

 

[GoonieFace]

Can’t say they are anti Leaf now, if they were he would have only gotten a game

 

[stewpac]

I'd be completely fine with three games if Hartman got 3, there has to be consistency in this league but unfortunately that has and probably will never happen.

 

[uncleben]

What the actual f***?

DoPS has been pretty consistent over the past couple of years that 1 playoff game = 2 regular season games.

So they saw this as a 6 game suspension??? Plus he served a misconduct with ~50% of the game left...



I feel like I've said this too many times. I don't mind them getting serious about hits to the head and illegal checks. Cracking down is not a bad thing. But this is not in line with the actions they have been taking with other players. Period.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I figured it would be 3. 2 games and add a game as a Leaf tax.

 

[thewave]

Called 3 games.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Deserved.

I thought it would be two games but you put yourself in this situation, you are at the mercy of the DoPS.

Just stupid from Bunting.

How can Bunting's hit be three times worse than this?

I agree though that the Leafs are probably better off without Bunting. As with Kadri, any "rat" on the Leafs are bound to bring negative values in playoff games.

 

[Gallagbi]

Felt like 1 was the right call given the match call in game and history. Then add another for Leafs tax, but 3 is a little surprising

6 times worse.

Remember, playoff games have a 2x multiplier. Hartman was 1 *regular season* game.

That makes me spitting nails mad.
Ehlers hasnt played since that hit...UNBELIEVABLE.

**Does anyone have a clip of the Cernak hit on Bunting...we all know Buntings hit was pay back for the after the whistle hit he received.
I really want to see that hit again and rewind it a few times.

 

[BallardEra]

I was expecting 2 games but not shocked at 3.
