Hat Trick Maker Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) It kind of reminds me of the nasty elbow on Naslund by Moore, and the ensuring Bertuzzi fiasco after the NHL did nothing to penalize Moore for the predatory headshot. I'm not trying to equate the Moore incident to the McDavid case here, but had the zebras made the calls more consistently and fairly, none or, at least, fewer of this sort of physical retributions would have happened. Vigilante justice happens when the system fails to protect against injustice. EDIT: And the recent Marchand injury doesn't really help the NHL on this case Edited May 13 by Hat Trick Maker 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Northern_Nuck Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 God, the crying in our fanbase is Fucking embarrassing and pathetic. We have Rutherford, we have Tocchet… 2 guys that are very much a part of the old boys club. You can bet your bottom dollar that if injustices are being served to the Canucks, they’re probably going about their channels to get it addressed. Crying publicly to appease the soft part of our fanbase does absolutely nothing productive. I don’t think Tocchet or JR are going to just let their team get abused…. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AnthonyG Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 So let me get this right…. Bennett can throw a well deserved dirty fuckin punch to Marchand and cause injury… no suspension or fine. Kane can slewfoot all he likes, no suspension or hearings Ryan can spear guys in the balls no fines or suspension or hearings Ekholm can cross check a guy hard enough to snap his stick in half, no talk of phone call hearing for intent to injure Hughes and Pettersson can be hit from a dangerous angle and sent flying head first into the board, no concerns of supplemental discipline at all… But Zadorov throws a cheeky cross check and it has to be addressed. Soucy gets McPrincess in the face only because McBitchtits is knocked downward simultaneously and its gotta be a phone call hearing because its McDavid. K got it. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely reasonable to not trust the NHL given the history of misconduct by both the on ice officials and the DOPS. Management was unable to prevent a known problem ref from being assigned to this series so clearly whatever they're doing isn't motivating the NHL to clean up the corruption. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 A good read here. https://canucksarmy.com/news/report-carson-soucy-to-have-player-safety-hearing-for-cross-checking-connor-mcdavid Quote The NHL’s Department of Player Safety has proven that certain levels of violence are perfectly acceptable. What they have not proven is an ability to apply those standards with any sort of clarity or consistency. Which is why today, we hope for the best sort of news out of the DoPS, and brace for the worst. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dak or any of our guys sleep fit mcdavid like that where his head knocked back and bucket came off I can only imagine the outrage and call for a suspension form the oilers if no penalty was called even on top of it. Kane is a rat too. History of BS. Even when Daddy tossed him he grabs his stick to pull Z and hold him in the bench then flails his legs recklessly. Multiple situations there could have been super serious series ending injuries by reckless plays by Kane. Sick of his shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is embarrassing about a fan base that has a problem if their top four defenseman is suspended ? 15 minutes ago, -dlc- said: This cries tough guy syndrome to me. Crying?

If you're embarrassed by other's actions that's on you, not us. Toughen u;. Yeah, don't get that one. It is not crying or being soft discussing and questioning why a Canucks top four defenseman is about to be suspended wrongly while in one game the Canucks had three or four major missed calls re: In one game: Hughes highsticked infront of official and no penalty, was cut on the play and the ref has the balls to then sit Hughes for bleeding FROM THE DAMN HIGHTSICK the officials refused to call. Pettersson, gets boarded, could have been a major and zero by the officials again right in plain view. Hoglander gets speared in the nuts, nope called as a minor. Its not crying when one simply has to view the overwhelming evidence and see a bias or negligent officiating. Canucks are not saints but they are playing a more honest game this series. I mean if there was no Zadorov involved and McDavid hacked at Soucy and his response was a crosscheck to the face while McDavid was not in the process of falling etc than I would be 100% behind looking at this and understand if there was a suspension. Intent and the chain of events is how it works. If you choose to cherry pick one aspect or action its a poor way to try and ensure justice.

IBatch Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 1 hour ago, wai_lai416 said: The players really need to petition to the league and get parros fired. They need to work it into the cba the next player safety guy needs to have the nhlpa approval. How can a predatory punch to the head on an unsuspecting player resulting in injury and missed game go unpunished but an accidental cross check to the face because the guy was falling result in penalty? How do the players in the league feel knowing their safety doesn’t matter if they are not name mcdavid? Makes them hate the guy even more and wants to take cheap shots on him every chance they get even more so At least he understands what it's like to be crosschecked in the face and punched in the face, which 99% of this site probably can't say. People go their entire life without this which is just fine, but do wonder how many of those people want to get punched in the face or punch someone in the face and never got the opportunity to do so. Isn't that what CONTACT sports is all about? Colin Campbell. Or Grim Reaper. Who's best suited for this sort of job anyways. Those guys are just fine. I'm sure Paros isn't that impressed with McDwebe's freebie on QHs either. Not sure you understand the creature you're calling out at all.

Pianoman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Today, after being a bit removed from yesterday’s game, I feel that objectively a suspension is fair. Imagine it was Kane and Bouchard doing that to Hughes? And don’t try to bring up the mcDavid high stick, an accidental stick like that is never a suspension (just a penalty ). Even if soucy didn’t intend to get him in the face, you are always responsible for your stick. And honestly, I looked at it a couple times, if Zadorov didn’t get him I still think he might have got him in the face soucy had already even given a small slash back before it, for those saying it was payback for mcDavid slash. Soucy slashed him and then cross checked him. I think the fact that mcDavid started it, and that he can claim he wasn’t trying to hit mcDavid face, will only make it a one game suspension. And I think that’s objectively fair. edit: also, the fact that it was after the game ended also makes it worse.

MikeBossy Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I think the issue is the inconsistency - if Ryan had gotten a fine for the pitchfork on Hoglander and Kane would have had a hearing for the slew foot fans might not be quite as upset. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
