Blue Heaven Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 :tweet: NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety Washington’s Kevin Shattenkirk suspended two games for charging Los Angeles’ Kevin Gravel. https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=K5XTZNJo0lU Quite honestly Im baffled how he got 2 games, sure it was charging, but we've seen dudes do worse than this and not get 2 games. Shattenkirk has never been suspended before. AND this is like EVERY Ovechkin hit and he never gets a hearing. NHL is telling me that this is worse than every Tom Wilson suspendable hit that doesn't even get a hearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Because AO, Cindy, Gina and guys like that make money for the league, ALLEGEDLY, so they have "immunity". Not to mention other players on said players team (see Matt Cooke) Only reason Capt. Shattenkirk was punished IMO is because everyone knows that he's not resigning with Washington come seasons end.

Why would him not resigning with Washington in the offseason have anything to do with a suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that does that would get suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreiders Rider Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Why would him not resigning with Washington in the offseason have anything to do with a suspension? Sorry but that's the craziest thing I've ever heard :rofl: Hope that's a joke. Anyways, he deserved the suspension. What's a joke is the NHLs inconsistency in punishing players that throw these type of hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 He jumped at the dude's head and made initial contact with his jaw. Everyone that does that would get suspended. This. Google Downie McAmmond for why it's important to always suspend on these types of plays.

Kevin Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Forgot about that one. That was nasty. In a pre-season game no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Alas. He deserved the ban. Would NEVER do that as a NYR! Shattenkirk, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Alas. He deserved the ban. Would NEVER do that as a NYR! Shattenkirk, that is. Sad as it may sound, I actually would be okay with him making hits like that as a Ranger. When was the last time we had a d-man that would deliver a hit like that (excluding McI)?

SaveByRichter35 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Alas. He deserved the ban. Would NEVER do that as a NYR! Shattenkirk, that is. So you know for a fact that if he was playing with us he wouldn't make a hit like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
