Why is it stupid to appeal?

Because he was absolutely reckless, is a repeat offender, and deserves those 10 games easily. I'd be calling for more than 10 had a repeat offender pulled that crap against one of our guys. A selfish, hot head who screwed his teammates over.

What Stanley the good did to Kap was as bad or worse than what Hartman just did and Stanley didn’t even get a penalty called on the ice. Kaps career will never been the same due to that bullshit. Stutzle the diver got a few stitches.
 
I don't care if he appeals or not because i don't think that he is very good.

At a certain point, hoping for more games, wishing it was more games, those additional games are hurting the Wild more than anything. Suspend him for 20 games, great, now we just won't be able to ice a full team for the rest of the season. It's vindictive and I'm not sure there's as much logic behind it as there should be. He did a bad thing, absolutely, I never wanna see him do anything like it again. But it's getting pretty dramatic at this point.

And replying to your post doesn't mean I'm just singling out you. And I'm not trying to attack anyone with it either. It just doesn't make sense to me to wish it was more games.

As I said, I don't want him to ever do it again (which would actually help the Wild and him, long-term). I don't care if it's fewer or more, whatever punishment gets him to that place is fine by me. Punishment isn't the first thing I typically reach for when it comes to correcting behavior, but he's done something that demands it now, so it's too late. The next time his anger reaches its peak, his fear of punishment needs to be the stronger emotion in order to hold him back.
 
He wasn't a "smart" player before, but Evason and his grit first and continued with Billy G even after Evason was booted, has turned him into a dirty player too.
They did with Foligno too... but he seems to have cleaned up his act a bit. We'll see if Foligno can stay cleaner or if the grit first will make him go dirty again or not.

Blaming Evason is such a bizarre take.

I blame the entire grit first mentality, which Evason was a big part of himself. I blame everyone behind that entire idea.

I got it. Just don’t see the correlation between playing gritty and tough and slamming a dudes face into the ice.

I'm sure the Player's Association had something to do with him appealing....plus, what's the downside of appealing? The worst they can do is deny it, the best that can happen is the 10 games is reduced by a game or two.

Not sure I buy that correlation. Were it the case, seems like at least one or more of Evason's players in Columbus would have had similar issues. I don't think I've heard anything with the Blue Jackets players doing anything dirty or getting suspended since he took over, have they?

Wonder why it's taking so long to release any updates on the appeal. Was heard last Friday...

I understand this takes time, and if Hartman doesn't accept Bettman's ruling he can appeal to a neutral arbitrator. By then he's probably served his 10 games anyway. I think what he hopes for is to get some of the $487k back.

If bettmans ruling is over 6 games it automatically goes to the independent arbitrator anyways. I don't think it's even hartmans choice anymore

Is Columbus calling for grit first yet? Do they have players as dumb as Hartman? (honest questions here, haven't been paying attention to them) I didn't say he was alone to blame, I said he was part of it.
