If that's a suspension I expect the Russian who did the exact same thing to wahlstrom to also get suspended.

 

[Treb]

That is... something.

 

[Sens72]

Holy hell the Discipline Committee is soft af.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Here's the Russian one today.

f***ing bullshit

 

[MackAttack26]

This tournament is being called soft, but this reaches a new level.

That's a tap.

 

[canuck2010]

jesus christ what they call and don't call in a game and then a suspension for that . f***ing miserable.

 

[canuck2010]

f***ing Euro bias in the IIHF raises its head again

Yep. If Veleno's was worthy of a game, Rtischev's is an easy decision for a game too.

 

[wacko2]

Was a dumb move by Valeno, all head butt violations should result in a suspension then.

Canadian team will need to have more disciplined effort going forward.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Pretty sure routine slashes during play are 500% more dangerous than what we just saw.

 

[Stand Witness]

Well that is the worst suspension I’ve ever seen.

Watching two drunks making out at the bar is more violent and aggressive...

 

[wacko2]

Here's the Russian one today.

Chicken Wahlstrom deserves a game for his elbow the refs missed today.

 

[canuck2010]

It's a joke. This isn't soccer (football)

 

[Novak Djokovic]

As long as they stay consistent, whatever. Probably shouldn't do that. I think the Russian player is going to sit one out too, it would appear.

 

[deca guard]

and i thought the nhl's judgements were a joke but here we see more hockey world stupidity

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Yikes in what world is that suspension worthy

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

What's sick is Gord Miller picked up on the headbut today but didn't say a thing when Veleno did it against Misyul. His bias is quite annoying.

 

[Heldig]

Dumb play by Veleno. While minor as head buts go I am not surprised by the suspension. This hurts Team Canada.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This might actually be the weakest suspension I have ever seen watching hockey. It is hilarious.

 

[snipes]

What a joke.

I’m expecting 1+ games for the Russian player as well now.

This might actually be the weakest suspension I have ever seen watching hockey. It is hilarious.

might be!!!!!!!!

Because Veleno's was barely a headbutt. There was no force. It was just two guys trying to out man eachother but getting up close.

The Russian one today was still weak but there is clear intent that he tried to hit the guy with his helmet to cause damage. A lot more force.

 

[canuck2010]

How can you possibly justify and provide any rationale for a team playing one man down based on that ruling. Was it even two minutes in the game itself?
