Perron suspended 6 games for crosscheck to the face on Zub - Mod warning Post #590

[North Cole]

Haha sit down Perron

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Shame that Perron went after the wrong guy. He only saw Larkin gone down and Zub was in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Emotions got the best of him. I’m actually shocked it’s 6 games for a first time offender. You saw how quickly Joseph and Kelly bailed after they did that.

Which Senator was the one helping the Wings trainer over, again?

Wow

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I actually think getting the right guy might matter to the suspension number here.

Gudbranson only got one game, and I can't think of any other reason than he was attacking someone who hurt him.

Not that it's the right logic but I think the optics had to do with it. A crosscheck to a players head looks absolutely vicious. Continuing to fight an "unwilling combatant" doesn't look as potentially brain scrambling.

Can someone post that doctor’s analysis link again, I lost it!

Perron is a f***ing loser and deserves the punishment.

 

[redwings85]

Wow

Gudbranson gets 1 game for going after the correct guy…
Perron 6 for the wrong guy and being way too heated…

 

[pcruz]

Perron deserved every one of those games, and more.

Joseph and Kelly deserved a game each as well, Kelly should have gotten a fine for this clothesline afterwards too.

Gudbranson deserves 2 games for conduct unbecoming.
And the other rat should get 2 games for the board and a lifetime of derision for the turtling.

The officials of that game should get mandatory NHL rulebook training.

You worded it like it was justified if he got the “right” guy.

 

[swiftwin]

Not enough. Pathetic response by the NHL.

I mean, it was the guy that caused the entire thing to happen, he's not exactly a hero here....

 

[2CHAINZ]

Pinto got 41 games, Perron only 6. NHL is bush league.

Giroux and Tkachuk had nothing to do with Larkin getting hurt.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

should have been 10-15 games.

two handed cross check to the head after the whistle with intent to injure because of revenge? nothing about that play was a hockey play.

 

[D Wakaluk]

That must be the max games Parros can give to his brothers.

Well, it's a start I guess.

Claude Giroux hurt Larkin now? Did he teach Joseph the secret punch you can see in slow motion?

 

[Dirty Dog]

He should have gotten an extra 5 games for being dopey enough to go after the wrong person

If Zub had gotten seriously hurt, it would have made national news, like Bertuzzi and McSorely.

The NHL is once again only punishing the outcome, not the actions.

 

[Korpse]

Kelly should have gotten a fine for this clothesline afterwards too.

Can’t forget about Korprisalo, he was laying on the ice and kicked out Larkin’s feet. Have to wonder if DJ Smith had a bounty on Larkin’s head, deserves some punishment too.

 

[Mr Positive]

It's funny that this comes off as heavy handed. Six games is a couple weeks. For attempting to cause a neck injury, to settle a score

The standard for punishment couldn't be much lower

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

So now I'm not tough? Man, you can't make up your mind. Also remember you're the one who said I was tough hiding behind the internet because I told you Joseph pushed Larkin not punched him.

He did push him. Pretty plain to people who aren't fans of either team.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I said 5-7 games. They got this one right. No place for that type of retaliatory stick work in the game.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Feels like the suspension is about right. Blindly attacking anyone after the play like that (who is calling for the trainer) is a horrible move, no matter how you look at it.

My concern now is Zub. Yes, he returned to the game, but the last two years this guy has had a ton of injuries.

It's a shame what happened to Larkin, but my goodness, he lost consciousness easily. If I were the Wings, I'd be putting him under every test they can think off. His injury history and how easily he went out are definite red flags here. They need to find out why and if there's a lingering problem there before letting him back on the ice. We don't need another young athlete with a lifetime of CTE.

 

[Mr Hat]

You could argue Perron desrerved 10 games and Joseph 2 games if you want to send a message to either player. 6 games and a 2 min penalty is relatively fair.

It was a high hit by Joseph, shouldn't have done it. Perron looking to murder Zub, but too much a pu**** to drop em. Joseph answered the bell and it's reasonable he accept given the outcome.

Hopefully this ends the drama and biased narratives on both sides.

Pathetic.
