Should Kucherov be suspended?

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

In a perfect world one of the Wings players on the ice would've gone after Kucherov when it happened and dropped the gloves.

yeah but half of the posts are by one Tampa fan twisting himself in knots trying to defend it.

Has there ever been a suspension for tripping in the history of the NHL? I highly doubt it

This team needs a rivalry very bad and here is the chance. This team plays better when they are physical and emotional.
He plays 25+ min, so it should not be difficult to get him. I believe the next game vs the bolts will make a lot of buzz. If we are close to making playoffs, this game will be huge.

Bah. Nobody ever "got" Benn. I don't think it's a suspension, but a fine would be nice, and someone running him through the glass next time.

Last year Fischer (?) poked at a goalie and then Gudas ran through him and took him out a for a stretch and taunted him while the guy was down on the ice. I'm not saying I want a Gudas on the team, but maybe a Witkowski.

Probably. He realized he was beat, took out Rasmussen's feet like a child throwing a temper tantrum, and it resulted in an injury. Suspension or fine seems warranted.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

A punk play for sure, but nowhere close to a suspension.

 

[LeighDx59]

No suspension. Just a good punch in the mouth would have been an appropriate reaction from a teammate.

2 min minor for tripping shouldn’t result in a suspension.

Probably wouldve gotten one if he wasnt hiding behind the ref and Hedman per usual.

I got 4 pages in and realized it was the equivalent of driving through Gary, Indiana with the car windows open.

I did not have a good taste in my mouth.

Some incredibly stupid things being typed in there.

If you go back far enough you'll notice that they're taking turns, one guy at a time

 

[Sadekuuro]

No way, not suspension worthy. Deserves an ass-kicking that hopefully he'll receive someday though.

 

[SirloinUB]

It’s a dirty play but I don’t see a suspension.

The Red Wings better have an answer of their own next game.

 

[Scottgaf1]

I'd let Rasmussen line up for the faceoff against him to start the next game. Let him settle it McCarty style.

 

[norrisnick]

The thing is... the Kucherovs don't fight their own battles. It'll be like Fischer vs Cernak or something dumb like that. Only possible retribution against a superstar is a cheapshot in return which is then just as dumb.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

I said yes.

But the next game will be fun.

 

[lilidk]

February 8 we are planning against Tampa. Kucherov is Tampa everything, so they should not let him and Rasmussen fight, but it will be good reason for Rasmussen been on Kuch face all game long. We got lucky with Tampa last game , so if Kucherov neutralized we might have another chance to win it again

 

[Ulysses31]

insanely dangerous play, if i nhl i dont want that in the game, so should b a short suspension

 

[Henkka]

If they don't suspend him, that is fine. Just no suspension for any Red Wing who retaliates.

Yeah, I could see somebody breaking his hand on next meeting.

 

[newfy]

I could see a fine maybe but I doubt it. People should actually be talking about that Lilleberg hit. It was actually pretty bad and should be 2 or 3 games

McCarty style doesn't include an invitation to go. Just grab and punch.
