Quinn Hughes 5 min major for hit on Josh Norris

[winnipegger]

Quinn needs to be more careful. He's like Lenny from of mice and men he doesn't know his own strength.

 

[Korpse]

Thats ridiculous. You honestly think he meant to shove his mouth on to the boards and potentially lose teeth? Cmon now...

Too many people thought Patrick Kane dove when he broke his collarbone. Plenty don't understand a simple concept like weight distribution.

A major was harsh and Norris needs to protect himself better but anyone who thinks it’s embellishment should stop tapping their ankles.

 

[Terry Yake]

that should've been nothing more than 2 minutes for boarding

Off topic - is there transparency for gambling companies to disclose the amount of action on a particular game and the direction of the bets ?

this was definitely a penalty but a game misconduct ?

 

[ScottishCanuck]

It’s 2 mins. Boarding and softish, but no embellishment either.

I don’t understand how in God’s name they can call that a major and game misconduct.

Yeah it was brutal, probably something that will be an age restricted youtube video from now on

 

[Killer Orcas]

Embarrassing call by league but we'll take the 2 points and a rest for Hughes. He better not get anything more though that would just be disgraceful.

 

[Zirakzigil]

My guess is 10 game suspension

Good luck with that. My guess is he gets a game at most. Most likely the NHL leaves it as the 5min and misconduct.

What’s with the thread title

I'm ok with that being 5 and a game, even though that's not usually a penalty at all when the hittee doesn't have jelly legs. Surely there will be no fine or suspension though, that would be ridiculous.

 

[Jumptheshark]

AS an oiler fan who loves it when the Nucks suffer... if he get suspended for that? the league is a joke. The guy who nailed Knies got nothing right?

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Parros, please make this goon pay for his savagery.

 

[eojsmada]

It was borderline 2/5 cause it was pretty solid cross-check against the boards. Once it was made a 5, they had to give him a Game Misconduct because of the injury sustained.

Probably will result in either nothing or a fine at most.

Is there something in the water in Ottawa that’s making every single one of their players weak on their skates? It doesn’t seem fair that they’re forced to play in a league full of players who have normal lower body strength.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Dirty play. Hope the refs are watching. That's a career defining hit imo

 

[Fatass]

Meanwhile, the Sens came away with a powerplay on this:

Stutzle got killed there. Maybe he shouldn’t try to fight?

 

[NailsHoglander]

Dirty dirty stuff by a league wide known goon

My guess is 10 game suspension

Get a grip bub. It's only marginally worse than the Jeannot hit on Boeser. 5 games is fair

 

[strattonius]

It's too bad the ref's egos were too enormous when they reviewed the call. They had to convince themselves they were right in slo motion.

Just unbelievable to be honest. The worst 5 minute major call I've ever seen and they get to see the replay and re-make the call.

 

[lawrence]

everyones a fake tough guy against hoglander.

 

[David71]

what a bullshit call. soft.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

2 mins nothing more. Yet another bad call.

The hit was obviously a bad one, but it's hard to argue about who instigated the fight even if i feel like the calls on who started it is a coin-toss sometimes.
