PerreaultForever Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 If Hischier had hit Clifton with the exact same check I guarantee you there'd be no suspension. Probably no hearing and it probably would have only been a 2 minute minor. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidc3000 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I say Two games. I honestly feel he didn’t purposely “target” the head but, I guess he should have bailed on the hit at the last minute. 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I think he'll get one game. He already missed an entire game so they'll add on 1 more. I expect Bryson is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back Stillman I liked Clifton but he really looks like a 3rd pair at best, a 6/7, just like in Boston. The notion he could be top 4 is wrong. I liked the toughness. I liked that he moved people out off of the screen. I though he was solid on PK. I liked the fact that opposing forwards were getting hit. Some of those deflected goals off of him are just bad luck, as was the uncalled trip. Now we go back to Bryson doing stick checks but with no reach at all. Pick your poison. Pray that EJ can cover for him. 3 hours ago, pastajoe said: I’d actually prefer the rookie Ryan Johnson. Why? Preseason play is over. Let him work and get good in the AHL.

Thorny Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Ya, obvious suspension obvious. Was hoping maybe he’d only get a game because he was kicked out so early yesterday… alas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) 2 games eh? Kind of heavy for a former Bruins player, I was guessing $5k fine and some off season Jersey turnpike community service.

If they send him back I am ok with it too. Benson will get stronger and he will be fine. Right now I prefer him over VO. Johnson looked good in preseason. I understand he is doing ok in Rochester so far, but not their best defensemen yet. He might get called because he is waiver exempt.

Was hoping maybe he’d only get a game because he was kicked out so early yesterday… alas Yeah, a 2 game suspension is pretty much the correct call. But, just like the delay of game early in the 3rd on the Sabres last night was the correct call; having it happen so quickly after the rules were ignored and the Sabres opponent DIDN'T receive the non-discretionary punishment just makes it seem like the league and the refs do have it in for the Sabres. (They don't, but #### when Tkachuk doesn't suffer his automatic 1 game suspension for instigating a fight in the last 5 minutes one game before and the Devils' D-man avoids the sin bin for launching the puck skyward while hitting nothing but net one minute before, it sure feels like they do.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
