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

[Frosty415]

Perron is an idiot, should definitely get 5+

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

One guy battled in front of the net, the other guy intentionally injured someone. Why would the punishment be the same?

Zub wasn’t injured.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

#23 for the Red Wings is a moron.

 

[The Expert]

I suspect there will be two short suspensions on this play, one for each teams player. Neither will be long

Who on Ottawa do you predict is getting suspended?

I predict you'll be incorrect.

 

[notsocommonsense]

both Perron and Joseph should get 5 games. get this dumb shit out of the league.

Kelly caused the knockout

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Lot of people in here seem to miss the angle where Joseph's mitt is what connects with Larkin. Not his stick.

 

[crowi]

From another angle it looked like a cross-check to the side of the head (hit helmet). Obviously Perron should get some games regardless. It wasn't in the face though.

 

[ChurchOfAlfie]

Classy organization? You should look at the video again. Zub is trying to protect Larkin, Joseph is calling for a trainer, Korpisalo is trying to get everyone to get away from Larkin, Perron is the only person on the ice further endangering Larkin as he lays there motionless.

Giroux also tries to prevent the scrum from reaching Larkin on the ice. Haven't seen his role mentioned here yet.

People will see what they want to see. No amount of evidence will convince them otherwise

 

[Dotter]

2 games or...

maybe nothing more than a $5k fine.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Perron needs a lengthy suspension and a major fine. I would have much more sympathy for Perron here if he had gone after Joseph and not Zub, who did absolutely nothing there.

Joseph should be suspended too, btw. He has made it a habit in his career of making borderline plays on other players using his stick. This time, it looks like he seriously injured someone. Time to send a message: get control of your f***ing stick. If you're going to 'accidentally' cross-check a guy so hard in the head that he falls unconscious on the ice, you probably shouldn't be on the ice.

 

[OVO16]

probably 3 or 4

 

[DearDiary]

Super easy to say that after your third rewatch of the replay.

Ape like behavior to assault someone just because Perrons feelings made him think someone may have done something. If he can't hold himself back to think who did it, then he shouldn't be allowed to play another game in any hockey league

 

[MrHeiskanen]

both plays were crosschecks to the head

His stick is under his armpit, please explain how thats a cross check?

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Need two hands on a stick for a cross check. More of a shove

I’ve seen few X accounts getting ratioed into oblivion like that one (that previously contained plenty of fans hoping to see a Sens player injure DeBrincat).

Probably wasn’t the flex you or that sad account author thought it was.

 

[Oneiro]

Should be 20+ to set an example but this is the NHL so I’m guessing it’ll be 3.

 

[Terry Yake]

3 games at least

 

[SillyRabbit]

Probably not as many as he deserves. That was shockingly blatant intent to injure

This.

He turns around, sees his teammate on the ice and makes an assumption on what's happened, and immediately swings his stick for the face of the closest opposing player.

I'd throw the book at him. 15 games. Make it clear that you cannot "attack first and ask questions later."

 

[leafsfan5]

Perron has always been a piece of shit. Never forget how he tried to elbow Kadri in the playoffs when the play was clearly over:



At 1:05

 

[AvroArrow]

This is why the NHL is a joke. They can't keep players safe, refuse to call it by the book and then things escalate.

Not saying it shouldn't be a suspension, but if the rules are actually enforced properly, neither of those incidents happen.

Yes. If the officials had preemptively called Joseph for a roughing minor, this probably would not have happened.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Non-fighter doing vengeful non-fighter things.

Perron should have to drop the gloves next game with the Sens.

Ratioed? I asked for 'proof' earlier in the thread and never got it from the Wings side. Here it is. Proof is in the pudding.

1) You don’t seem to know what ratio means. Usually refers to a post having more responses than likes and retweets. Doesn’t apply.

2) How is it a flex to say a shove isn’t a cross check?

3) That account also posted the video from which that still was taken:



Watch the video. Did Joseph cross check Larkin?

 

[Kevinsane]

In the 80’s or 90’s crap like that would incite a bench clearing brawl, and Perron would’ve been absolutely pummeled.
Next game they play he should be scared. I don’t miss staged fights, but this kind of sh*t makes me long for the day an entire team would take your number.
