frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm definitely disappointed. The DoPS just further makes a mockery of itself. I'm surprised their ******* video isn't all pink covered by a softish purple layer because that's seems to be the league wants to go with hockey. It's so embarrassing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lomekian 201 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Further proof that officiating in the NHL has gone down the toilet. Borderline questionable hit. No previous record. No injury. Refusal to complain by the opposition. Compare to multiple attempts to injure elsewhere in the playoffs..... 2 yztheman and evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 No call on the ice and they justify a suspension for that with all of the other s*** that has occurred? There is no consistency at all when handing out punishments -- how does Subban get nothing or Weber slamming Z's head into the boards a few years ago? This league is a complete joke. Probably want their small market to advance since apparently those teams are the glue of the NHL. 1 roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SimonSin 192 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 It was an illegal hit. Oh well. I didn't think the Wings were going to win the series anyway. I'm very surprised it even went this far. They lost the series in game 4. The better team will move on, no way in hell Wings win tomorrow. Tyler Johnson has completely owned the Wings so far. The better team usually wins in the end and that will be Tampa. But hey, at least we made the playoffs! LoL. Enjoy your summer people. Have fun and be safe.

Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 from nhl's rule "charging" The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct, or suspension if the infraction results in injury to the opposing player. no injury = no suspension, i guess they didn't get the memo 1 yztheman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Well they did a good job taking fighting out of the game for the most part. this is the 7th step of 15 steps that eventually eliminates hitting from the game. Might as well go to a foul system like the NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 So the standard for the league is hits like this are suspendable but Big Buff can full on sucker punch a guy in the back of the head with nothing. This league is a joke. 1 yztheman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I wish they threw him out yesterday. They probably would have accepted that as the game suspension. Either way, Weber can slam Z's head into the boards with full intent but get away with it. This leagues "justice" system is a joke. 1 yztheman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I'm done watching once the Wings go out.

Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 On the video they circle Kronwall's feet at the moment of contact. Am I the only one who doesn't see skates off the ground yet? You are allowed to leave the ground after contact. No injury, no prior disciplinary history, and this is a Game 7. I hope Babcock absolutely lights up the commissioner when the media asks him about this. Screw the paltry fines. This team shouldn't take this blatant slap in the face laying down.

Hossa4Life 4 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 What an absolute joke. I wish I could boycott the NHL or something, but there is no way I can miss this game. But for god man have some consistency. More dangerous checks have been thrown in this series alone and there was no suspension. This is a game 7. The guy did not even get hurt. Abby and Glendening should have fake injured or fake "concussed" when they got there head sandwiched into the boards. Good job NHL yet another step closer to soccer/NBA/acting. Just cause it is a big hit does not make it worthy of a suspension. 1 frankgrimes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
