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

[Nogatco Rd]

The Wilson hit was reduced to 14 on appeal. Doubt that happens here though

 

[lang006]

I’d have given more but at least it was double digits.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Thats a spicy meatball

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

One of the dirtiest players in the league, absolute scumbag. 10 games is the minimum he should have got.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Habitual offender

 

[Do Make Say Think]

10 games

Well deserved

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Dirty player. Isn't he the guy who injured Nurse?

 

[Bounces R Way]

10 games is the correct amount of games. Well done George Parros you magnificent mustachioed manimal.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Pleasantly surprised by the ruling but it should still have been more.

 

[FlameChampion]

Glad he got the book. Wish it was more honestly.

But the whole hockey play thing is annoying. The majority of suspensions aren’t hockey plays.

 

[Three On Zero]

Should be more, league needs to do a better job of protecting players from head injuries

 

[bov]

It's more than I thought he'd get but that's the type of play that can result in something truly horrible. Can't sit here and argue the decision.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Bold prediction:

Hartman comes back and gets another huge suspension before this season is over.

This guy is Raffi Torres 2.0.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

If that pos Noesen got nothing then this should have been no more than 5 games.

 

[robertocarlos]

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.

You're right. A two week break for the All-Stars is about 8 games missed so it's like he got 18 games in time and money lost.

Seems like the bare minimum for what a guy with his history should have gotten given the obvious intent to injure. Guys like him don't feel any remorse for their actions they're just sorry they got caught and punished.

 

[Golden_Jet]

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

No, it’s 500k about, he’s charged at a per game rate for this one, due to the repeat offender I think.

They covered that explicitly in the game I’m watching

 

[Bruce Granville]

Instead of 20 games they went with 10…10 games being the Stutzle tax.

 

[mphmiles]

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the longest suspension for on-ice conduct since Wilson's hit on Sundqvist in 2018.

I think it's well deserved. Unlike pretty much every other suspension since then, you can't possibly argue any part of it is a hockey play. There was no intent to do anything other than injure, and you can really, really hurt someone by driving their face into the ice with weight on their neck. (Ask Steve Moore)

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

Are the salary counted from start and end of Regular season?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Bold prediction:

Hartman comes back and gets another huge suspension before this season is over.

This guy is Raffi Torres 2.0.

...his next move will probably be blindsiding a goalie with a steel chair shot...

 

[KevinRedkey]

His Cap hit is 4.000 but his salary is 5.000 which means his stupidity cost him about $610k

 

[Sota Popinski]

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.

He went to Princeton!

 

[eojsmada]

Could have easily been more with his history. At least the DOPS didn't just slap him on the wrist

 

[BertCorbeau]

Damn DOPS came with the hammer
