Nick Cousins possible suspension? (UPDATE - Fined $2k)

[Divine]

You’re quoting Biz of all people?

The only guy who knew the truth about Mike Babcock when CBJ was trying to bury the story. Say what you want about him but he's definitely connected.

What does Mike Babcock have to do with this? This entire situation has been blown out of proportion.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

I swear to God I'll pistol whip the next guy who says "Shenanigans."

Biz’s reaction is exactly what the Sens would want. Don’t think anyone relevant to the series really cares about it.

 

[Korpse]

Looks like it was more than what we see in this thread.

it’s literally just him reacting to Dreger’s report of “Sens players” “firing” pucks. Lol

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Artificial narrative by Toronto media to "rally" the players around. Sells a story. Nothing more.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I wanted to get the DoPs video guy for this

This is not a hockey play
The Ottawa Senators have history of firing picks at players
The NHL fines the Ottawa Senators $25,000

 

[Cats2TheCup]

I know playoff hockey is emotionally charged and all but this is completely disgusting behaviour from Cousins and at the worst possible time for his team. "Firing pucks" (Dreger quote) at an unsuspecting player during warmups is just a bone-headed move. Inexcusable.

Cousins and Stolarz are friends.

 

[Hennessy]

This is peak "Toronto Media" stuff.
Had this happened in Florida, I doubt it'd even get a mention, let alone get blown up by someone of Dreger's stature.
But everything is a scoop in the Battle of Ontario.

Ottawa being fined as well seems a little strange to me. I have to wonder if maybe the league had put out some kind of notice to all teams about stuff like this during warm-ups. In which case I could certainly see them fining both the player and the team.

Seems odd that Ottawa and Cousins get fined but Hofer and the Blues get a pass. Hofer did it games 1 and 2 and fired more than one puck both times.

Regardless, reporting it to be petty and further own the Sens does not mean it did anything to them. They were probably laughing the entire time

To think this is owning the Sens is about the most insecure, cope i have ever seen.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

That's one take. The other is beating them in the street and the ally. Just one more thing to rattle the Org that is already being crushed by the falling sky

Careful what you wish for. All of the Toronto success over the years and all.

Come out, shoot pucks at our goalie in warm up, get handed every call you want including a 5 on 3, Leafs get nothing called for them, still lose and cost your owner 25k and made the team have to answer stupid questions all day and get laughed at further. Not sure what else you call it?

If only fans cared as much about the actual games as they do about the click-baity BS that happens along the way.

I watched live and not on TV, so it's harder to see the calls up close but it did seem skewed to the Sens last game.

Leafs hugely embarrassed the refs in game 1. That might be part of it. They aren't getting the benefit of the doubt on calls now because of all the selling in game 1.

I didn't see any selling in game 1. Ottawa had their sticks up all night and took a bunch of penalties.

But the Sens got the same type of ref performance last game. Worst for me was end of the 3rd how do you not call this a trip it is a trip every time? Especially when at this point of the game the Sens had like 5 PPs to Leafs 1?

If you didn't see any selling in game 1, there is no point in even having this discussion.

How is this even a story?

By that logic the Sens should expect nothing tonight then yeah?

Is there a video of him shooting pucks? I saw that one quick clip here and that wasn't shooting pucks.

You were right to think the Leafs tattling was ridiculous in your first post looking for a link. Then you coped. A team has to be pretty delicate if they consider this some sort "owning the Sens" or any sort of a win. Powerful weak.

 

[MiscBrah]

I think Ottawa got fined because Green was cracking jokes about it during the press conference. And someone at the NHL HQ seems to have it out for Andlauer.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Hope they don't waken a sleeping beast.

There's no complaining in playoff hockey.
