Funny it’s ok if sim gets 5 games for saying a word now sag fans thinks it’s unfair

Scouts not a Saginaw fan. I’m fine with it if he said something that’s against the rules. It is what it is.

No Saginaw fans said it wasn’t fair. One said the situation isn’t ideal and another non-Saginaw poster compared it to Parekh getting less for an act many see as more egregious. That’s all.

This is the same league that only suspended Parekh 2 games but allowed him to go to the top prospects game while they thought about it for spitting in 2 players faces intentionally in a show of complete disrespect.
But saying a word is 5 games.
What a show.

league loves to protect its stars

Also do not forget there is a new sheriff in town. Greg Kimmerly who hands out suspensions. He may be different than the person previously.

Sima laysbon the ice, traininer comes out and does not miss a shift. Epperson not only lays on the ice but rolls around on it showing that he is in so much pain, goes to the bench and the Jumbotron shows him laughing while skating to the bench ....magically he is ready and missed 5 seconds of the PP haha. Must have the magic soccer spray us Canadians can't obtain.

Someone is too new to remember Brankley's magic touch.

Penalties and inconsistent play I think would be the story of the early part of this season.

You have to wonder if we have enough in the tank. I hope they turn it around or why not build for the future. They could go on a winning streak, sure or losing. Drinkill has his hands full the wrong decisions could be detrimental. We need some quality games and our best players being just that. Some guys have been of to very slow starts.

They beat good team's like Brampton, London, Erie. They've also lost to the Petes, The needs are still the same. Cheryshov needs to get into the line up. Need 2 D. That hasn't changed. I agree some of the other guys down the line up need to pull more weight. Misa and Epperson aren't going to have 3 point nights every game. I think we'll know by the end of the month which way we should be leaning between go for it or sell.
