RJWantsTheCup Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Good. I don't think he should be suspended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Yup. He didn't deserve to get tossed, let alone face supplemental discipline for being tall. 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Because he did nothing wrong. Lame penalty, especially a match. Someone in the GDT said a charging penalty at most. it sucks for this kid because his chance in the big show could severely be effected by that call. It's the difference between looking at him as a liability over an asset. I feel bad for him and hope he gets to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 It wasn't even a charge. He took a stride, maybe a stride and a half. It was a match for being too big and strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delneggs Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The refs that reviewed the play and gave him a match penalty are the ones that should have a hearing and then get suspended. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sieg wanted to stick up for his teammate, just do some face washing rather than fighting, took a half hearted swing and missed. Rempe waxed his face with one shot.

Pete Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There was no intent to injure, never should have been a match. This is good news though, I seem to remember a match carrying an automatic 1 game suspension, glad to see that rule was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I thought the same. I think it's discretionary, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 16 minutes ago, Phil said: I thought the same. I think it's discretionary, maybe? Actually, he's technically suspended until the commissioner says otherwise. Interesting read here. Quote A player who is assessed a match penalty receives 15 minutes in penalty time — a five-minute major when his team plays one man short, plus a 10-minute misconduct to go along with his ejection. The player is also automatically suspended from further action until NHL commissioner Gary Bettman rules on what supplemental discipline, if any, will be added to the initial infraction. That typically happens the day after the incident takes place. Edited February 23 by Pete 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art20c Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 To me it shouldn’t have been even 2 minutes penalty. Fucking guy was driving along the board, head down and tilted forward, watching the puck he possessed. Rempe had all the rights to hit him. There was no indication of attempt to injure, just a hard hit straight up. When you are 7 feet tall and 6 feet guy is leaning forward with his head down there always be a head contact one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Hockey play with a tough result. I didn't think it was a charge...he only took 2 strides off the bench. Contact to head? Yes Targeted the head? No Hands down - Check Elbows down? - Check Hockey is hockey....he's getting hit along the boards...Fucking man up! Edit: @Phil you're killing me today!!

RichieNextel305 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I think the league is instinctively blind to hits to the head. I get that they’re serious but sometimes they’re accidental, sometimes they’re unavoidable, sometimes they’re on purpose. The ones that need to go on the predatory ones, done with purpose. If a guy has a size mismatch with another guy and there’s contact accidentally or because of the size difference, that isn’t on that player. It wasn’t done with intent to drill him in the head. He was certainly looking to lay a hit on him. The ones that are done with intent or are done when it could be avoided are what need to go. I don’t see this is one of those. And that’s not said with blinders on. Edited February 23 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
