Roussel crosscheck to the face of McQuaid (suspended 2 games)

[STC]

He's fought Shea Weber so mcquaid is chump change

and he got his ass kicked by Andrew Shaw.

what a moron, guy consistently shows a lack of respect for players on the ice - cant stand him.

What made it worse was dallas was the only one to score on that five minute power play :/

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

I think 5+ a game is fine. Dirty play but IMO that should suffice.

 

[Satan]

That was super dumb of him.

He had a 2-game suspension earlier in the season, no?

Nope

Ooooof.

What a dumb play!

deliberate.

he'll get a lengthy suspension just because he can't claim ignorance.

I would give him 4 games.

 

[FishMonger]

Seems that was quite the poor decision.

Did McQuiad go into the locker room for C-word protocols or did he just take the next shift?

First suspension plus mcquaid got back up plus the unknown way of deciding suspensions? Unlikely

Yeah, given no prior suspension and McQuaid seeming to not be injured, I'd say 2 games at most.

 

[spg2000]

Stupid move and really dangerous, McQuaid is lucky it wasn't worse.

Hadn't watched him personally much, but the Sabres played him the other night and I recall several times thinking to myself how dirty a player he seemed to be. Stood out in a bad way.

That should be a LONG suspension.

McQuaid misses on a big hit, thinks Roussel is challenging him to fight and drops the glove... and Roussel just winds up and crosschecks him in the face to drop McQuaid.

Refs got it right, 5 minutes and a game.

HAHA you know what? If it was a Bruin that did the crosscheck you would've defended it by saying "His stick slid up when he was trying to push him"

He came back but I think a stick to the throat would send anyone to the locker room for a while. That could have done serious damage.

omg totally

Him getting up shouldn't lessen the suspension. That play was reckless.

Only took this long until my original prediction of someone saying "if it happened to the Bruins....". Good job!

Ask Dave Manson. Well, he took a punch to the throat, but still, it ****ed up his throat and made his voice raspy as hell.

Sure, it shouldn't, but it likely will.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Big fan of McQuaid, sad that it seems like he always gets hurt.

 

[dafoomie]

McQuaid went to the room and returned, presumably for a concussion test.

Roussel was in the Bruins system at one point, I cant imagine him, Marchand and Lucic on the same team.
