Got a game misconduct. That was like a "good game" tap. The linesman needs to grow a pair if he reported that. They get more abused breaking up fights and don't call anything.

Mustache of God Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 This season has been so bad I have gone out and bought ice hockey equipment and I am starting to play hockey again after a 15ish year hiatus. Watching the Sabres these past years has literally sucked the fun out of hockey for me to the point where I've said "forget this, I'll do it myself." Instead of watching the game last night I was at a stick and puck session at Prospect Park whacking around pucks and practicing my skating. Looks like I made the right choice.

I was watching some of my teammates from beginner hockey play and lose Wednesday night in a different league. d4rk asked me what i was up to, I replied, "Oh, watching my zamboni boys lose". He goes "I don't know, they're making a decent shake of things" thinking I was talking about the Sabres. Sadly kind of appropriate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skate shinny there sometimes. It's nice.. They need to get their scoreboard and benches in though. It was supposed to happen last summer, but they didn't come through. Hoping that they get leagues set up for next winter. I live 5 minutes from the rink and Would rather play there than Long Island City.

IKnowPhysics Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah, Enzo went to pat him on the ass at the end of the game and caught him in the hand, so the ref gives him the 10. Problem is, if the rules are strictly interpreted, he could face up to ten games. Although, if that were to happen, he'd likely successfully appeal for fewer. That's elite level tanking though: the team leader in goals eats ten games for about as innocent of a mistake as anyone could possibly make.

Attempting to swat the linesman on the butt would not make this better. You can't intentionally make contact w/ an official. It was painfully dumb. A better tack for him to take would be to claim he was doing a wtf wave and the stick got away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say the Sabres were up 4-1 and the linesman is Ennis' old junior coach or something. There can be innocent contact, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am surprised. Hopefully he keeps his head and never does that again. I think it was simply a matter of talking to the linemen. Do you think he meant to hit you in the hand? Nah, he was just giving me a what's up tap. Any more discipline required in your opinion? Nah. He won't do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given that Ennis went and apologized right away. But don't we want to have confidence that the league will follow its own procedures? (Hi Taro.) Towit: 40.5 Automatic Suspension – Process - Immediately after the game in which such game misconduct penalty is imposed, the Referees shall, in consultation with the Linesmen, decide the category of the offense. They shall make a verbal report to the League’s Director of Hockey Operations and advise of the category and of the offense. Now, if they're saying a misconduct shouldn't have been called, the league should rescind the penalty and clear Ennis' name. I don't get the half step. Giving him the misconduct but not the required discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny DangerFace Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 The league has some discretion with everything, nothing should be black and white. I don't see how anyone thinks what ennis did is suspension worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
