BrooksBurner Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 And Bortuzzo should be out as long as Arvidsson. That shit is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yeah, but also want to know what could have happened during that exchange that cost him six weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo should have gotten 20+ games. The second cross-check should have been a match penalty for intent to injure, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 NEW YORK -- St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo has been suspended for four games, without pay, for cross-checking Nashville Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson during NHL Game No. 358 in St. Louis on Saturday, Nov. 23, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today. The incident occurred at 6:03 of the first period. Bortuzzo was assessed a minor penalty for cross-checking. Bortuzzo is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, will forfeit $67,073.16. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. This is a complete joke imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Bortuzzo clearly thought he dove in the 1st one, so he gave him a 2nd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He's hurt, so that part checks out, but a lower body injury? Maybe on the second one? I think he knew what he was doing on the first cross check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Maybe on the second one? His spine compressed like aluminum foil. Bortuzzo should have been given 20+ games minimum. This was vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He def went for the unpadded spot over the pants but below the shoulder pads. Getting hit there hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Looks like Ardvisson?s head hits the crossbar on the first one, so maybe it did sting him a bit. Bortuzzo thought he dove and then gives him another one for real good measure. Who was it that repeatedly cross checked JT Miller into the ice a few seasons ago? How many games did that get (twas playoffs iirc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, either is incredibly dangerous. Look at how Arvidsson's back folds. Consider the position he's in. Either guy could have been paralyzed over these types of reactions.

Either guy could have been paralyzed over these types of reactions. I hear you, I'm just saying the 4 games was precedent. Seeing it was 4 for Byuf/Miller set the bar very low.

Phil Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 I mean, I guess. That was also nearly five years ago. I could be wrong on this, but doesn't DOPS only consider the "precedent" thing from within a much more rigid timeframe? Like, a calendar year, give or take?

Scott Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The replay of the Bortuzzo incident that the showed during the post game tonight showed Bennington giving the guy a third cross check after he got up and started to skate towards the corner.

phillyb Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Binnington's like, "get the fuck out of my net." I don't think he had any idea what Bortuzzo did, but idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
