lalalalalaFontaine Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 while we're on the suspension topics. at what point do the stick infractions such as the one claude giroux placed on derek roy towards the end of the game get punished? obviously roy got a little dinged by it, and it definitely was intentional, back of the knee where there is no protection. not the worst slash by any means, but still punishable?

bunomatic Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 That stick to Roy stood out but these things go on all through the game by both sides. Claude G wasn't very stealth about it and I wondered at the time if it was maybe payback for something that went un-noticed earlier in the game,from last years playoffs or just whittling down the opposition. IMO Kaletas head butt was suspendible and dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazielSabre Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 As long as someone let him know it wasn't on it's fine, those things either have to be beaten out by the coaches or dealt with on the ice, rookies and newbies especially have to learn that isn't on.

Seriously this is a great topic. Remember when we were playing Bostin in the playoffs and vanke was on a breakway, Boychuck took his stick against Vaneks knee, taking him out of the rest of the series and we lost the series. Roy took a hard stick and there was nothind done about it. I can't believe it. That is why there is fighting in the league so players settle scores evenly with their fists rather then there sticks. Anytime a player uses equipment as a weapon like what happened to Roy should recieve a suspension. He knew that Roy was hurt with a knee injury last year. This could have been really bad and I thought Roy was gone again. Kalatea gets a suspension for leading with his head??? :wallbash: Giroux should get one as well. :death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I don't think Kaleta is a moron. But I do think morons should be suspended more often. GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why do I get this sick feeling that suspension standards haven't changed much since Campbell handed the reins over to Shanny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why do I get this sick feeling that suspension standards haven't changed much since Campbell handed the reins over to Shanny? Kaleta was fined for this same action in the past. Now he gets 4 games. You still think the standards haven't changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
