Kronwall suspended one game

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

What the hell is up with this whole force thing, people are defending no suspension for palat because the hit is with less force than kronwall's?! It's a hit to the head, so now you can hit someone in the head but with less force? Bravo NHL I expect no better wording from a league that uses the word charging to define the penalty of charging...

toby, its not about Kronwall and the hit, which was to the head and he left his feet, its more about Palat, Garrison not getting suspended for literally the same thing. Even Shaw on Jackman, I don't give two s***s about Chicago or St. Louis, but its about the NHL being a joke. If none of those hits were not suspension worthy, then neither should Kronwall...

It really baffles me because they are in a lawsuit with former players about head injuries. Not a good image to say we are trying to eliminate illegal hits to the head, and many go unpunished. If I'm the former players I would go through each one of these and make hours and hours of footage. Seriously it's only a matter of time before someone takes a shot to the head from a sucker punch and sues the league.

What about all the charging that's taken place and the full contact with Mrazek in this series? Just because the goalies have all that padding doesn't stop concussions when your crashed into by a solid body traveling at 15km hour with 200lbs plus slamming into you.

Yup, woke up and still mad about this.. tweeters of LGW, let's get #freekronwall trending

Any word yet on if it's kindl or marchenko replacing him tonight?

[frankgrimes 1,836]

One day later and still pissed might not even watch the game now.

NSSL = national super sissies league

For the love of god bring in McKee and give them a reason for suspension.

Kudos to Tampa they didn't even cry about it this bulls*** league needs to be run by real men instead of ******* idiots

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Just watched the explanation video of the DoPS, and the suspension still makes no sense to me. Kronwall never leaves his feet completely and makes exactly three strides before hitting Kucherov. I don't see that this is charging at all. Besides, you don't suspend a player for a hit that may or may not be dirty for a Game 7. You just don't.

[Rhah 195]

I can only come to two conclusions about league office and DoPS.

1. They are either the biggest group of irrational, illogical, and inconsistent Ivory Tower jerks that there ever was.

2. Or, they actually don't even watch all the games and rely only on headlines (or interns) to notify them about stuff that is trending and they are basically spineless robots controlled by their marketing office.

Gotta keep hockey in Florida going.... or something

The fact that Palat doesn't even get a call, is bulls***. Leaves his feet, targets the head. I would have been fine with a Kronwall suspension if Palat was out too.

[Ram 240]

In reality, will it be Marchenko or Kindl in tonight? Kindl hasn't played a game in a while but is left-handed fill in for Kronner. Marchenko played well to begin but then was taken out, reasonably, for Smith.

My pipe dream is Kindl and Marchenko both in and Zid out, who has had a few poor games in a row.

[cr00d 26]

1. No penalty on the play

2. No injury on the play

3. No history of prior suspensions or fines

4. Skate on the ice at impact, elbow tucked in, primary point of impact just below the head

When you look at all the facts, it's pretty clear why they suspended him.

[amato 3,210]

Its believed, the last player to receive a league suspension for a Game 7 was Torontos Shayne Corson in a 2002. In Game 6, the Maple Leafs tough guy kicked New York Islanders defenseman Eric Cairns at the end of a fight.

"What causes this infraction to rise to the level of supplemental discipline is the force to which the hit was delivered..."

Just don't hit him as hard next time, Kronner. You silly man, you.

There you have the MOST infuriating part about this. The NHL will be completely neutered in the next couple of years.

F=ma it's ok to hit someone in the head just don't have a lot of mass

[zackisonfire 16]

The Habs are already my second favorite team. I'd bet good money Subban throws 5+ hits that are worse than this, and won't receive a god damn thing for it.

I absolutely can't believe he's suspended for game 7, but I have faith in our Wings! We got this game 7 although it is a big loss watch them step it up and take it to the Tampon Bay lightning

[brett 1,029]

I am actually in favor of Kindl playing he has much more experience And can play bigger one he wants to

I haven't seen this posted here yet, but it perfectly sums up the inconsistency complaint.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES: now includes Palat's hit from Game 6 that I forgot last time! @NHLPlayerSafety #hypocrisy

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

Aaron Ward tweeted 10 mins ago

"Beyond Kronwall missing for suspension, Detroit Red Wings may be dealing with another veteran defenseman missing from Game 7 line up"

I wonder if that is just speculation, or if he knows somone is going to sit.... Zidlicky?

[wings7 62]

Any word on who is dressing?

[Y19 2,488]

Just dropping by to add my voice to the Kronwall situation. I never figured that the DoPS would do this because of their "history" of taking no action for very suspension worthy hits during the playoffs. Now they are going to make an example of Kronwall for a game 7 on a borderline hit at best? They're going out of their way to prove they police the playoffs like they do the regular season when anyone with functioning eyes can see that isn't true.

[kliq 3,763]

I'm guessing the pairings tonight go

DD-Quincey

Ericcson-Marchenko

Zidlicky-Smith

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Mabye. But if DeKeyser finds his Game 1 and two form I'd rather have

DD-Ericsson

Quincy-Marchenko

Zidlicky-Smith

Ericsson had a decent series so far, so if DD can step up I'd leave him on the first line.

That's what I was thinking

And if we have to dress marchenko and kindl I'd rather just say f*** it and jet ouellets ass to game 7 ... No way do I want 2 guys who haven't been playing games in the lineup

Dekeyser Ericsson

Quincey ouellet

Marchenko smith

But I agree most likely scenario will be your lines but if kindl plays as well and is paired with smith were in deep f***en s***
