You can't take this league seriously

 

[Gallagbi]

Lol 6 games

 

[LastOne2100]

How many other first time offenders get a 6 game suspension right off the bat? Parros is a useless piece of shit

Not to mention one with a long upstanding career like Spezza.

I hope the Leafs appeal just because. Won't go anywhere but at least it's a form of protest.

George Parros pees sitting down.

 

[Menzinger]

He deserved some games but 6 games is a bit in the harsh side (compared to most other suspensions for non-repeat offenders).

Regardless gives him some mid season rest and allows the Leafs to take a look at some prospects

Watch for Pionk to be healthy tomorrow

Seems super sus; didn't he finish the game too lol?

 

[DcW]

Worth it for the retribution. Good for Spezza. Needs to go on a heater to get to 1000

 

[ShaneFalco]

Meanwhile the most Marchand has received is 5 games

 

[CelticDruid]

A travesty to have Spezza out for six games for that hit to the chest.

He doesn't have to be. He's suspended for 2 games anyway.

yup the timing of his protocol announcement definitely sus

this stinks to high heaven

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Right on Pionk getting the same as Edler (2 games) and Bourne saying Spezza is getting 3. Hopefully 2 for 2.

bad feeling confirmed

 

[Doublerum1975]

That will teach Toronto for trying to stick up for teammates because refs can't do their jobs!

 

[Leafidelity]

More games than a repeat offender biting someone

But the league favours the Leafs right?

Our Bush League

 

[Northernguy10]

The NHL is a microcosm of societal punishment...No consistency...no common sense...Even the TSN announcers..."Not a hockey play"...There are numerous non hockey plays almost every game in hockey that don't even warrant a 2 minute minor. If you're looking for a reason that isn't one of them.

 

[KaberLeaf]

The league is a joke. Hope the boys use this as fuel for the entire year and into the playoffs.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Unreal it's like a dart board

 

[Leafsfan74]

6 seems excessive considering other suspensions for other malicious acts

Not just other suspensions, how many non-calls over the last two years?

I've seen Ovie spear a guy, no penalty. Ditto for Tkachuk kneeling on Campbell's head. Foligno driving through the crease and Campbell's head. No whistle.

Really inconsistent.

[ShaneFalco]

Meanwhile the most Marchand has received is 5 games

And has been suspended 6 times

 

[Raym11]

Can't wait til our next playoff series vs the Bruins if this is how the reffing has become normally now!

 

[Gallagbi]

Fun fact, this is the third longest suspension in the past 2 seasons.

Kadris 8 game and Wilson's 7 game being higher.

 

[Gabriel426]

Leafs is going to appeal and it will be reduce.
Such a joke if the refs called Pionk, this would not happen.

Get Gabriel, Clifford, Simmonds and Ritchie for next Jets game and just trash them on their first shift.
