2023-24 NHL Thread

Tough time for any Canadian player who was on the junior team thinking of taking leave for any non-London related reasons.

So Dube, Hart, McLeod, Foote and Formenton...I hope that justice is served. 

As some of you know I work with marginalized and addicts in Moncton and I have seem women dealing with horrible PTSD after an incident and I have seen men falsely accused but treated like criminals because of the charges against them.

That?s heroic work, good sir.

All the other cases paid off with our children's membership fees via a "slush fund"... just the tip of the iceberg. Hockey Canada has to help the boys in their programs to become respectable men. This is ugly.

Jeez that?s extremely unnecessary and avoidable. Time for a long unpaid vacation.

 

[Arn]

I love his little shrug at the end ?me? what did I do??

Deserves extra ban length for that

 

[bustaheims]

If he doesn?t raise his elbow like that, the hit would have been equally effective and much less dangerous. Just stupid and careless.

Blatant. Indefensible.
Hope they send a message with a lengthy suspension.

Do they normally specify if in-person?

Bunting got a phone hearing that netted 4 playoff games.

If it's in-person, it will always be officially announced specifying that.

Wut. I was initially thinking 20 games. Exactly the type of hit the NHL is trying to get out of the league.

At least he got the max available. Should have been much longer, though.

This league only pretends to care about player safety.

 

[Arn]

That should be double that in all honesty.

 

[cw]

That should be double that in all honesty.

I would have given him more.

 

[bustaheims]

That should be double that in all honesty.

I would have given him more.

I would have ended his season.

 

[dappleganger]

Should have been 10 at least.

 

[Bullfrog]

I would have ended his season.

Same, or at least 1/2 a season.

On the street, that's a criminal offense.

 

[Arn]

I would have given him more.

Well yes, I would too. At least double.

Five games is criminal.

I had 41 games (half season) in mind and then quickly realized there are not that many games left.
It would come with a warning - something severe: do it again and you are out of the league. (that may be a little too harsh but something close to it)

With CTE and everything we are learning about head injuries, this behavior cannot be tolerated.
The league opens itself up to a big lawsuit down the road if they don't do it.
