Hache is back for game 7. That will help Saginaw big time.
I expect Guo to get suspended.
As for Parekh ?
my guess Parekh plays game 7.

Just the way the article was worded was "We messed up, he should have got a major and perhaps a suspension." But why wouldn't they still review it for a potential suspension otherwise?

I'm having a hard time finding a list of past suspensions. All of the current ones are on a major penalty (Lawrence) or nothing at all (Namestnikov).

I'm virtually certain that they can review any call and assess any suspension they like. The rule below is fairly clear.

Rule 28 – Supplementary Discipline
28.1 Supplementary Discipline - In addition to suspensions imposed
under these rules, the Commissioner may, at his discretion,
investigate any incident that occurs in connection with any Preseason,
Exhibition, League or Playoff game and may assess
additional fines and/or suspensions for any offense committed during
the course of a game or any aftermath thereof by a player,
goalkeeper, Trainer, Manager, Coach or non-playing Club personnel
or Club executive, whether or not such offense has been penalized by
the Referee.

This league has a history of 3 things that are relevant in this situation:
- Basing suspensions off of injuries and not actions
- Not suspending star players
- Favouring host teams

That has benefited the Hounds as much as it has hurt them over the years, so don't take it as a complaint. It's just the facts of the matter.

Also from Ruicci's article:
Beck made it 2-0 at 4:02 of the second when Christopher Brown outbattled two Spirit players, winning the puck in the offensive zone. He fed Beck cutting into the slot and his shot beat Lalonde five-hole.

I gotta send some props Brown's way. He won a number of board battles through the game, and always seemed to be in the right place to either support the line offensively or stay above the puck defensively. He also played centre for Martin and Hayes, taking 13 faceoffs and holding his own (winning 6).

But this particular play (above) was unbelievable. I think it was actually 1 on 3, and he was battling by himself just inside the Spirit zone for well over 5 seconds as the Greyhound penalty expired and the rest of the team was changing. Won the puck and put Beck in all alone on Lalonde. Just an amazing shift for a player that does not always get much love on here. I can't see Fantino displacing him from the lineup.

the only person i could see Fantino replacing is Dezoette.
Give up defense for offense. Fantino does have a good shot
and thus greater potential to score which may come in usefull in a close
one shot game 7 as most are. However, Dezoette does penalty kill and
Fantino does have penchant for being undiciplined at times. Penalties at the
wrong time may worry dean. Fantino would be fresh having some days off which
would help. Tough call but i think the hounds stick with game 6 lineup unless
someone is hurt. As for hurt Allard did not play the third period in game 6 hopefully
he is not hurt enough to miss game 7.

Yep I agree. He played outstanding, and has for last few months. Definitely the wrong call from me there… That’s why I’m not the coach for sure 😁

Goalie from London ( stolarz - sp? ) got 6 games for 2 handed hack to the head of a Windsor player during a playoff game. It was reduced to 3 games , not sure why?
Click to expand...
Just looked up the stolarz slash as I wanted to see it again but the video is gone. Also, the article I found said 8 games originally. Didn't see anything about it being brought down to 2 game. But I do remember him being suspended for it I just don't remember what the outcome was.

Stolarz was suspended for game 4 of the Windsor series and missed the 5 games against Guelph. Was reinstated for the Memorial Cup.

In his absence Jake Pattttttterson filled in
 
I wouldn't count on the league to do the right thing in any circumstance. If they take head checks seriously offending players would sit until the injured player returns then start the suspension. Concussions can cause life time issues.
This conversation has been worked over on HF. Some take it seriously others are hoping the offending players gets suspended to give their team more advantage. The offending team makes excuses hoping their player gets off the hook. Game within a game.

I remember him getting hit into the boards midway through the second, and limping off. However, he still came out for his regular shift for the rest of the period and didn't seem to be nursing any injury.

Here is the play I am thinking of, but the camerawork is terrible and you can't even see anything.


 
Didn’t MacKenzie Blackwood do something similar a few years back? I thought a Barrie goalie slashed someone in the head if I recall.

They are not going to do that. First time a star player hits a 4th liner that 4th liner will be out the duration of the series no matter what the diagnosis

If we are being silly, you could also say that if the league took concussions seriously; Motew, Hemstrom, and Beck would need to complete a hitting awareness and competency program before being allowed to play another game, and their coaches fined for a lack of player safety

Yes dirty. Talk about silly comments. If a Sudbury player got hit like Motew you would be all over the offending player. To say a player has time to look up at full speed before unknowingly getting his bell rung by a huge player is asinine. Yes let's close the barn door after the horses got out. Great idea.

100% no. I’ve seen and approved a few non-calls when wolves were KO’d cutting across the grain obliviously
