Rhyno716 Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Seems excessive. I think he will appeal it down to 2 games. Matthews got 2 for the Dahlin cross check last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 The suspension is a bummer, but as others noted in the GDT, it's about time the Sabres inflicted some punishment for taking liberties with their goalie. Danny Gare, a somewhat comparable player to Skinner, would've done the same thing. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Does he have any suspension history? I have a hard time seeing that as worse than someone with a couple suspensions under his belt getting 2 games for trying to poke a goalie’s eye out.

matter2003 Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Wow...seems like a lot when routine offenders get one game for far worse. How many games did the guy get for slashing the dude in the back of the head the other night?? UPDATE:. It was Leafs Pierre Engvall and he got one game...so Skinner gets 3 for a crosscheck and Engvall gets only 1 game for literally swinging a stick at the back of a guy's head?? WTF is with the NHL? Total BS. Edited December 10, 2022 by matter2003 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gare would have beat the crap out of Guentzel It was a different game, then. The stick-swinging prior the cross-check to the face would have drawn a much more severe response from both sides in Gare's day, let alone the cross-check itself. It would have been a line brawl, at the very least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would've gotten to the point of the cross check. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would have Dudley and a host of others back then. Spinner might have whacked him with his stick but we all know how psycho he turned out to be. In no way are they comparable either. But that's a whole other topic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidc3000 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 After some thought I’ve realized three games is appropriate. Matthews got two games after he cross-checked Dahlin in the head during the Heritage Classic and that was without causing injury. Skinner caused injury so an extra game for that .

This is BS and always has been. Two guys got on him immediately. The linesmen split it up before Lucic paid the price, and the 2 minute minor was typical pro-Boston *****.
