Ryan Hartman Match Penalty for "Attempt to Injure" on Tim Stützle

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yeah, Bieksa has some good takes sometimes but that was moronic. Even if you support fighting and the "code" in the NHL:

1. No one is ever required to fight for no reason. There's enough data on head injuries that everyone knows it's not good for anyone long term. If players want to fight- so be it, but no one needs a reason to not want to.

2. It's a 3-0 game. A fight can do nothing for Ottawa and only give Minnesota a spark. Giving Hartman a fight would be stupid.

3. If fighting someone on the other team is the only way to prevent someone on the other team from trying to injure your team's star player then that's a problem that the league needs to address ASAP.

Yeah, but kicking his ass would be fun.

Even Wild fans want the book tossed at him.

I'd even say we should cut our losses and buy him out. Done with his crap.

I never understood how someone can get a diving penalty on an actual infraction, but that's a side issue.

Diving is rarely called, it’s embellishment that they call most often. If they think there was no infraction and someone dives, they’ll call the dive only. You can have embellishment without and infraction and that’s normally what happens

Next person that kicks the shit out of him is going to become a minor folk hero

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Throw* the book at him. Wild fans are sick of his shit.

Honestly I never realized Hartman had such an extensive suspension history, I didn't know this is going to be his 5th suspension. Should easily be 8-10 games.

This Wild fan is fine with him being suspended for mega games.

Apparently Hartman was pissed for for getting an embellishment call earlier on a slash to the hands(that was called a penalty). I never understood how someone can get a diving penalty on an actual infraction, but that's a side issue.

Throw the book at him. He's playing like crap this year, anyway.

It’s in the title, “embellishment” - an exaggerated reaction to the foul committed against you. Which opens the door to big swings in various referee’s interpretation of what is considered an exaggerated reaction. Some are well deserved, while others seem completely ridiculous to call an embellishment.
What I’d like to see is penalties given for actually flopping and trying to buy a call when no real foul was committed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a call for embellishment where it was the only penalty called. The actual penalty given is for “unsportsmanlike conduct”, which should also include any outright flops.

Maybe get your eyes tested, your on Island in this thread. Not to mention Hartman had an embellishment penalty earlier in the game.

Good to see Wild fans, want the book thrown at him, as they’re tired of his actions as well.

Usually middle fingers and stick tossing etc.

are all your reactions just people laughing at you?

that's impressive.

To me with his history I'd give him 10 minimum. We just don't need that in the game...

Players don’t want this stuff. Centres can pretty much drive their opponents’ head into the ice on almost every draw if they choose. It’s just not something guys do, because it’s so dirty.

 

[geebster]

Feel like this should be a massive suspension but the league is such a joke that it will probably be something totally inadequate like 5 or 6 games. Hoping they get this right though, its complete garbage.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Hopefully his career arc goes like this:

1. 10+ game suspension
2. clears waivers
3. KHL fodder

Good on Wild fans itt for disowning him.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Not even close to a hockey play, dude is a total nutjob.

I'd love to see a team just waive a guy for plays like this...

 

[Number8]

He’s gonna get dinged hard, i think.

He basically curb stomped him.

 

[Tryblot]

Hartman and cousins are getting closer and closer to Cooke territory.

Both of them are massive pieces of shit.

 

[Hunter368]

Guys like him shouldn't be in the league
