Injury Report: Stepan Broken Jaw. No timeline. Prust susp. 2 games

[Orr Nightmare]

The NHL is a ****ing joke. Break a jaw, 2 games. Touch a ref who is being overly aggressive with you, you're dead.

I think it's hard to compare abuse of officials with Prust's hit.

They arent comparable at all.

 

[ChrisKreider20]

This is where I wish we still had Boogaard. He stopped this kind of crap, and he could score a slapper from time to time too. If Prust tried that crap with Boogaard there, he'd be unconscious 30 seconds later.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

None of this really matters until we know stepans real status.

At this point MTL has edge and trade 4th liner for our best center. If I'm Hab fan I'm fine with this.

That's why I'm fine with bringing in a player we can burn to take out Subban or someone like him.

 

[Dagoon44]

what a freaking joke.

Fantastic work on this's. Should be shared as to what joke nhl. Is

 

[slipknottin]

There were three options, not ONE only.

No, there were not. Once Carcillo hit the official it was either 10 or 20.

3 would have been if he tried to tug away. He didnt do that

 

[egelband]

The NHL is shooting itself in the foot. Can anyone imagine the NBA allowing a twelfth man to come in for three minutes and injure a starter. It's ridiculous that top line talent has to play with a target on its head. At least the NFL is trying to cleanup its act. I think the NHL is regressing.

The NHL won't do anything to punish dirty hits until someone dies.

This league is an absolute joke.

According to Rule 40, there are three categories in a game misconduct penalty situation involving a player having physical contact with an official that carry an automatic suspension.

Did you read the article? And now you're saying also 20. What is it??

YEP!!! Not even close. They even wanted Prust scratched before game 3

If you hit an official, its at least 10, 10 is without intent to injure. 20 is with intent. They determined he did not intend to injure. So its an automatic 10 games.

Its pretty clear.

Without our top 2 centers do you see us winning this series? Or even having a chance against the kings/hawks? lol...

Prust just ended the Rangers season.

99 percent of this board will call u crazy for that but I'm all in with ya

 

[kovazub94]

Yes^.
Not hags/kreider speed, but otherwise yes.

Lineups should be:

Kreider - Miller - MSL
Pou - Brass - Zuc
Hags - D. Moore - Nash.
Richards - Boyle - Dorsett

my guess is Prust will be out for the rest of the playoffs at min.

Rangers will now win in 5 or 6

However, need something more for West Champ. Maybe Fast/Lindberg ?

Torts, is this you, genius? You putting Richards on the forth line (as a winger no less) while we have a shortage of centers?

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

Listen, all these calls for headhunting in return are BS.

The Rangers don't need that.They need to put the puck behind this Tokharski kid and win game four on Sunday.

Subban is a one dimensional offensieve (See what I did there?) threat.
How many times did he flub the puck last night? Sure,great shot.Defensively? It's almost Del Zottoesque at times with him.

Let him run around wearing his arse for a hat, he was out of gas at the end of the game last night.

Rangers need to play the way they know they can and they will win the series.

All this other stuff needs to be squelched out.Keep your head on a swivel, finish your checks,put the puck on goal and go to the front of the net.

 

[TheTakedown]

gotta wonder if the 2 game suspension gets the rangers going to win out the remaining 2 games just to avoid letting Prust back in.

Prust just ended the Rangers season.

This series is ours but when and if we advance without step and brass I can't see us standing a chance

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Listen, all these calls for headhunting in return are BS.

Nah.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Whatever.

Up to the boys to ensure Prust doesn't play another game this year. All they need to do is win the next two games.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Is the equipment at the Garden just not near as good as what was used the next day?

 

[silverfish]

Best place to hurt them after a hit like that isn't in physical retaliation, but on the scoreboard on the ensuing power play.

Oh... wait a minute....

There should be serious ramifications to officials who fail to make a penalty call on a hit that results in a multi-game suspension.

 

[Riverdale]

I don't think it's ours. I think the Habs have JUST as much a chance of advancing as we do. I think we've been the better team throughout the series but now we are a completely different team.

This isn't good. When is the next cheap shot?

Anyone want to take a guess who else is going to be injured by Therrien's gutless goons?

 

[Ghost of jas]

I am almost at the point of giving up on this league. This has been a farcical season. This team was one of the least penalized teams all season. They don't play dirty. There have been so many instances this year where I have felt gut-punched by the absolute incompetence of league officials, from the on-ice crew to the clowns in Toronto, and now to the absolute farce that is this ruling. A repeat offender lands a dangerous hit to the head of a player without the puck, and all he gets is two games. Nice message sent by this league of clowns. FU Bettman and all of your stooges.
