2guns 10 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Nice and simple, should Hossa get a suspension for that hit on Dan Hamhuis? Pick an option and if you feel up to it, discuss it. Edited April 25, 2010 by 2guns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunkedUp 29 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 It was identical to the Ovechkin hit. For consistency's sake (The NHL's best attribute) he should be suspended for 1 game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 That was a really dangerous play, but I don't see Hossa being suspended for it. He doesn't have enough of a history of this kind of stuff to be suspended for it, especially not during the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weaksauce 5 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I don't think Ovechkin should've gotten the suspension. I voted suspension not for consistency, but because Hossa is Hossa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2guns 10 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I tried to reason with myself as to why he shouldn't get suspended, but I keep coming up with only reasons why he should. I don't hate Hossa like most Wings fans, but in my eyes, it was a nasty hit worthy of punishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I don't think Hossa really meant to f*** him up (like OV tends to) but if you suspend one you should suspend the other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2guns 10 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 Let's be honest here too, if he had hit one of our players like that, I think we can all agree the majority would be screaming for suspension. I agree that I don't think he was actually trying to cause injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F2B&G 15 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 To be consistent? Yes. However, because it's the playoffs and Hossa's not a guy who usually does that kind of stuff, I really doubt they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crotty99 302 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFZsPGJ6X1E Thanks for that. Like people have said, He should probably be suspended for consistency. However Hossa isn't usually involved in these situations so it wouldn't surprise me if he got off. Ovy had already been suspended once earlier in the season. Was a bit of a stupid play on Hossa's part, whilst I'm sure he didn't mean for that aftermath, you just shouldn't force momentum on someone who is already moving that fast towards the boards.

teebo 22 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 i voted no but there's good arguements made for both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deetroit dario 27 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) i also say yes for consistency. but when have NHL and consistency ever collided in a sentence without the use of the words "dubious lack of" in there?? he won't be, and it'll be par for the effed up course. he did look pretty shocked by it as he sat down in the box. coach q, on the other hand, should be punched in the face for frivolously waving it off in that "i can't believe this was a penalty" way of his. (okay, coach q should just be punched in the face. repeatedly. list your reasons) Edited April 25, 2010 by deetroit dario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louisville 112 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 Can't believe I'm typing this but I agree with Pierre, the trapezoid is one of the worst rules ever adopted by the NHL. As if no-touch icing isn't dangerous enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klunzo 36 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I'm voting yes for consistency. To be honest, he'll only show up in Game 5..so they won't miss him for game 1 of the next series. He was a Game 4 guy last year, moving one back to Game 5 this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zettie85 106 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Absolutely not. The difference between this and Ovechkins is that Ovie actually put his shoulder on Campbell. Hossa hardly touched him. If you have to give him anything give him just the 5 but I think that is even a little steep. 5 max maybe because it is a dangerous part of the ice but still to me seems a little much.

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I'd just want there to be some consistency in the calling. Hate the double standard. Hossa really should have been booted today. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) By god, he'd better get a f@#$ing suspension. He laid down the EXACT SAME HIT AS OVECHKIN LAID DOWN ON CAMPBELL... and he did it while Campbell was on the ice, haha. If he doesn't get a major suspension, then the NHL has made yet another joke of its own disciplinary system. Edited April 25, 2010 by Crymson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Detroit 9 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I dislike Hossa as much as the next guy but he barely touched him. I'm surprised he got 5 minutes for that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy_Like_Wingy 25 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I dislike Hossa as much as the next guy but he barely touched him. I'm surprised he got 5 minutes for that... This. I don't understand how some of you are comparing this to the Ovie hit unless I'm not watching the same two videos right now. Hossa barely got a glove on him and Hamhuis went down like a ton of bricks. Ovechkin literally jutted both arms out on Campbell and it resulted in broken bones I believe. Hamhuis just shook it off and skated to the bench. Just looking at the replay you plainly see Hossa stick his arm out...not even a pushing motion. I don't even fully understand how Hamhuis went down so easily unless he was trying to turn and lost an edge. 1 zettie85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOwl 77 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 I don't hate Hossa like most Wings fans, but in my eyes, it was a nasty hit worthy of punishment. How can you not hate him? If he even played to 50% of his ability the Wings would of won the Cup last season, GUARANTEED. Hossa has the most blame for under performing last play-offs. Now you want him to win a Cup with a new team? If you hate Chicago, you need to hate Hossa. Hossa doesn't deserve a cup. He's a cup chaser, who doesn't want to put in the work, the time, the effort. He didn't last season, why would it be so great if he won it now? f*** Marian Hossa. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soultrain 43 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 i will say one game. it was not as bad as the ovie on campbell but he did shove him and dude lost it going into the boards. i would think the nhl would want to avoid injuries attributed to this type of play but i could see them not tossin out the hoss for a game...but i say yes..for a game.
