He's in the second stage of his Pokemon evolution. Final evolution is Burkie.

This is in my contention for post of the year.

I get that you have to blanket penalize/deter the slewfoot but intent isn't so cut and dry.

Doesn't a match penalty earn an automatic 1 game suspension anyway?

I think that's only if it's with not much time left in the game.

These refs need to be fired on the spot.  Yet again clear and blatant misconduct from these dirtbags.

It is a slew foot,….maybe an unintentional one.  

 

If the player returns, I don’t  expect there to be any more supplemental consequences,…but then there is a lot of So-Cal representation upon the DPS & anti-Canucks bias there has been historically strong.  
 

I hope Hogs gets fair-treatment & won’t miss a game, other than the rest of this one.

The 1 game suspension applies to this game. That's why he is kicked out. It's not technically a suspension but rather a match penalty.

as long as that is a new, consistent standard, so be it.

Unfortunately it will not be consistently applied.

 

Not a chance in Bettman's nhl.

I don't think EP needs a guy with hockey smarts. There's already 3 of them on the same line. EP needs a guy who can dig pucks put and feed him passes in tight. Like PDG does for Miller. Kuz is not good on the boards.

I would love a nasty player like a Todd Bertuzzi on that line. Problem is there aren’t players like that available in the league. In fact those players aren’t around as much anymore.

Yup. Not even a skew foot really. Bettman (or some league official) on the phone to the refs telling them to screw the Canucks. Cheating bastards, that’s what they are. Do like Drago in Spartacus.

It was not intentional. 

 

He looked like he tried to take him down. Totally didn't try to injure anyone though. It was a weird play where he was also checking another player and that guy backed into him. Like you said though not intending to hurt him in any way.

[Mando27]

LA will never lose again

[Twilight Sparkle]

nils hoglander coming back after being suspended for "intent to injure"

If the player returns, really expect that there will be no supplemental consequences.

But it wasn’t a skew foot. Anyone who has played knows that. Guys fight like that for position all the game long. Lace ‘em up there

[Hugh Mungus]

If this is the standard, then Marchand should be getting ejected every game

Considering where he is in point standings I’d argue he wants to play with guys who see the game the same way creatively as he does and that’s what brings the best out of him. I’ve always wanted see a power forward alongside but I’m not sure he needs someone to create that space but he’s quite capable of doing that himself with his smarts and with the understanding and IQ of similar players like Kuz and the speed of Mik. If anything, he must have fast linemates who have the speed to keep up with how he sees the play unfold and can get to the marks where and when he needs them to.

[PuckYa]

Wow these Jerseys look great but the lids look fantastic.

 

 

 

[Googlie]

We're dominating in the faceoff circle ... 55% to 45%

[PhillipBlunt]

Oh they’ll hang on Amber. You can bet Colby’s rusty suit on it.

I do think some get missed but yes I agree I wish it was more consistent. I think they is a play just went bad. The call was correct to me 

Definitely was a play that went bad. After seeing the replay, I could've lived with a 5 but still think that's possibly a bit much. But the Intent to Injure Match? Absolutely not, don't think there was any intent or malice in Hogs actions, I just think they were both a bit off balance and the wrist happened.

I'm surprised we don't play them until late in the season

I h they will. They rely on two old guys (Doughty and Kopitar) for their success. Those two will get injured. Then they are doomed.
