PromoTheRobot Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I wonder if they stick with Dell or roll the dice on Hauser? Edited May 19, 2022 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Samuelsson and Mersch will likely not play. The hits on Mersch and Crosby in the NHL show that in the playoffs a short term suspension is worth the benefit of taking out a key player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspension durations in the NHL are absurdly short to begin with, let alone in the playoffs where they're even shorter. The equivalent of a one-game NFL suspension would be 5 games in the NHL (16:82 games ratio). I'd like to see suspensions for headshots and other attempts to injure start at 5 games regular season or post. You can still be incredibly physical and difficult to play against while not targeting someone for a series-/season-ending concussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you’re suspended for hurting a player in the playoffs that causes him to miss games, the suspension should last at least as long as the injured player is out for that series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavier suspensions could help a bit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would be so difficult for a player to tell an independent doctor that he's still suffering headaches or it really hurts a lot when that arm is getting worked to its limits in the office. 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't happen, because the goons tend to run the player discipline office & the NHLPA. But it would fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that Rome was the better player. But there was plenty of "get Colin's kid a Cup" going on that year otherwise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get behind the equal suspension for injury time. Some folks heal up right away from worse hits, some folks get caught just wrong and something minor ends their career. By the time you get the doctor to fully evaluate and determine the recovery time/suspension time, the whole series could be over anyway. A higher baseline suspension isn't perfect but it would at least provide coverage of -- you might miss the rest of the series and the start of the next; you might miss game 7 and the beginning of next regular season, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 It will be a big deal going through to the next round in spite of a goalie sporting a 3.50 GAA and an .879 S%. Come on Dell, play the game of your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 It feels like there is a lack of communication with the Amerks. Dell didn't know what to do with the puck. Players don't know who's supposed to do what "Genesee Beer Sucks" 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
