haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) From tonight's Flyers Pens game. Don't know that it's suspension-worthy because he missed, but this seemed like the best place for it. And it's certainly a cheapshot attempt from Malkin. He and Giroux had been battling during the play. Edited December 9, 2011 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) For those who hate Lucic. Here's more ammo. Not really suspension worthy since he mostly missed, but it's a knee on knee attempt. He got 2 mins for tripping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-9J5T_rwJM&feature=player_embedded Edited December 11, 2011 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might wanna tune in at 11 for that. Referees have gotten calls wrong on a consistent basis for many different things ever since the league was around. To say that the NHL is turning into the no hit league (which in itself is ridiculous considering how many big, legal hits there have been this season) because of a single bad call by a referee is pretty silly. It's not being a prick, it's stating that what you witnessed isn't a shocking occurrence. 1 commadore183 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We always talk that the NHL should suspend the action, not the consequence. Well, we have the actions without the consequences. So either "people" need to stick to their guns about suspending the act or hop on the NHL wheel of justice suspensions for consequences.

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted December 17, 2011 Lucic should be getting a suspension for his cheap ass hit on Rinaldo earlier today. Can't find a video just yet.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Lucic should be getting a suspension for his cheap ass hit on Rinaldo earlier today. Can't find a video just yet. Seeing how McQuaid got away with murdering Foligno's knee, who knows if Lucic will even get a call. Not the best video, but clearly from behind. He got 5 and a game. I don't think he's considered a repeat offender since he didn't get anything for running Miller. Though he was fined last season for a suckerpunch and taunting the bench afterwards and suspended the season before that for crosschecking Lapierre in the neck and head. I think McQuaid got very lucky because Foligno just got a charley horse on the play. The league really goes by severity of the injury it seems, which I disagree with. Sticking out a knee like that can be a career-ender. they shouldn't let a guy off easy because this time it didn't.

As for Lucic, he probably will get a game or two after most of the GMs voiced their displeasure at how SHanny handled the previous Lucic incident. Agreed. Honestly 5 and a game is probable enough for that hit. But Lucic should be a repeat offender and it's a chance for Shanny to right his wrong on the Miller hit. I wonder if the explanation for letting Lucic off there is Shanny doesn't really believe in the rule about goalies not being hit out of the crease. Because whether people agree with the rule or not, miller was not eligible to be hit, there was clear intent, a blow to the head, and it resulted in injury. That pretty much covers all the criteria for suspension. I liked Lucic when he first came into the league, hoping he would be a power forward in the mold of someone like Shanahan. But the dirty hits, taunting, spot picking is all starting to pile up for me. 1 esteef reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 Anyone think Rene Bourque will get a call tomorrow? Can't post YT from my phone but he got 5 and a game for a boarding call. Pretty nasty. I hope so. Usually, I'm pretty critical of how they determine suspensions (I don't believe you can suspend a guy for a hit because the receiver of the hit is injured. Neither do I believe a suspension of a bad hit should be longer because the guy was injured on the play. Suspend for the action, not the result, and I will always stick by this). Bourque's hit was dangerous and is a textbook example of what I (As well as many others) would like to see out of the game. A few games seems fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Lucic got one game for the hit. NHL recap and video When referring to Lucic's history of similar hits, fines and warnings, he might as well have admitted "because I should've suspended him after the Miller hit."
