You right i am....Juulsen next man up. that should be fun

And the joke is ruined, why’d you have to bring his name up

 

[sting101]

Myers initiated the whole thing with the slash but Bouchard deserved the cross-check for skating too close. JFK

Nope never said deserved

I dont even think Myers wanted to get him in the face. Which is why given the timing he probably deserves a game.

Bouchard skated at Myers. Scrums and shots were happening. He got the horns.

Is what it is...dont skate at big ass D that are pissed off like your gonna do something

The logic of Canucks fans boggles the mind. Poor little angry gnome Garland didn’t deserve to get cross checked despite clutching and grabbing and holding but Bouchard did for… skating?

It is what it is, don’t clutch and grab angry superstars if you don’t want to get cross checked in the face.

You guys really can’t see how ridiculous your arguments are when you’re defending Garland and saying Bouchard had it coming, can you?

You are generalizing. Half our online fanbase are idiots that never played hockey and probably team sports even.

I never complained once about McDavid. In fact i said he doesn't deserve a suspension and should just get a fine given the timing.

I doubt you want to argue that with 3 seconds left that a cross check to the face should get nothing do you?

They should both get a game, the officials should get fined for a dreadful performance. I just think that there are two crosschecks to the face within seconds and half your fanbase is trying to pretend that Bouchard skating - SKATING - is deserving of a crosscheck in the face.

Though a more fitting punishment for Van would be having to play Myers more than Hughes.

cognitive dissonance is outstanding amongst them. Gazdic was right about them.

Meh. I actually think McDavid shouldn't get suspended. He's literally targeted every game and Garland was holding his arm and then mugging him. I think context matters when it comes to the players that sell tickets

as far as Bouchard. He was holding Pettersson before all of it went down after he went in on the forecheck in his corner. The crowd and bench were going crazy. A ton of shots were going back and forth and then when Myers who was really pissed off stood his ground he skated right into his grill. It's certainly worthy of a game give the area of contact and timing but Bouchard should be smarter than that. He had the Canucks pretty fired up

As I've stated multiple times, both McDavid and Myers deserve to get a 2 game suspension based on Matthews doing the same thing.

That being said, Bouchard had Pettersson pinned down to the ice earlier in the game and didn't crosscheck Bouchard in the head. McDavid lost his cool and deserves a suspension. If you're arguing that McDavid was allowed to crosscheck Garland, then you would have been alright with Pettersson crosschecking Bouchard in the head?

There's a reason why it's against the rules, Pettersson played within them, McDavid didn't. That's the difference.

Bouchard sucks at playing D and he sucks at embellishing. Myers barely touched him.

I don't come to the mains very often but when I do there's always some really idiotic takes and 9/10 times its "SeanMoneyHands" Jesus dude

This is actually dumb. What a dumb take. If you get tripped or held that doesn't mean you can 2 hand cross check someone in the face. This logic is really something.

The thing is that both Bouchard and Petey were facing the boards. It is entirely possible that Petey was also holding Bouch or his stick trying to sell a call. With McDavid and Garland it was in plain sight and with the game in its dying moments.

Like it or not he's the premier ticket seller in the NHL. Add the context of getting mugged and held and mugged some more.

All things being equal i agree but it's not my kid that is hoping to see him for the first time next game.

the NHL will and should be making concessions for those that sell the game and get attacked every game. Unless you want Cousins dirt bag types to get equal treatment which i don't.

It wasn't that bad took it in the helmet visor
