Ryan Hartman Match Penalty for "Attempt to Injure" on Tim Stützle (upd: reduced from 10 games to 8)

[Crede777]

A surprising number of people called it. 10 games.

 

[KevinRedkey]

10 games. Good

 

[Jyrki]

Deserved, for once the DoPS threw the book at someone...

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Finally this scumbag gets what he deserves

 

[Sun God Nika]

First time in a long time I agree with the decision.

 

[DJJones]

I've never seen someone do that before. Crazy

 

[forsbergavs32]

DoPS got one right

 

[Kcb12345]

Good

 

[Koivu11]

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

ROTFL eat shit and live, Hartman.

 

[SI90]

They got this one right. That was so dangerous. Forcing a guy into the ice using your whole body weight you could paralyze him.

 

[red devil]

He has received supplemental discipline once for every 60 games he has played.

 

[robertocarlos]

He has to appeal or he is out about $1 million. Players are paid per day.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

It was basically assault and could have ended with paralysis or death but okay

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Right about where I thought, 8-10.

 

[qc14]

Interesting that the video points out that Hartman claimed it was an accident. Feel like DoPS comes down extra hard (as much as that means anything for them) when you try to clearly bullshit to them

I hadn't really paid attention before, but in that picture you can see the puck sitting there and Hartman is paying it no mind at all. He made no effort to pretend he was playing the role of a centre taking a face off.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Not the only time, did this last year on Perfetti

Strong hockey play

 

[Some Other Flame]

He got off light given his history

 

[Grinner]

10 games was well warranted.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Once in awhile the DoPS surprises me and gets one right, 10 was the minimum here. It's also an obvious lie that he was just trying to keep his balance. Even Parros is smart enough to see through that crock.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Shoulda been more. But maybe 500k in lost earnings will finally get it through his thick skull

 

[Number8]

He has to appeal or he is out about $1 million. Players are paid per day.

I think he should slink off and let sleeping dogs lie.

If he appeals, be nice if the League could tack on an extra 5 for the hassle.

No a chance League would reduce it. In real life he’d be dinged hard in real court for what was essentially a curb stomping.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Too light by a damn sight.

 

[MikeK]

Deserved. Could have easily been more. I don't think it was an accident like some people did. He knew exactly what he was doing. It was a scumbag move.
