So what your saying is the Burke is definitely going to make it happen.

EDIT: I love the two conversations happening here in terms of goaltenders, opposite ends of the spectrum.

Canucks fans: Man, we have too many good goaltenders on this team. Should we trade our really good starting goaltender? Or our really good backup goaltender? What do we do with our really good goaltending prospect?

Flyers fan: Man, should we go with our really shitty starter next game? Or our really shitty backup? Also. MICHAEL LEIGHTON LOLOLOL.

There is one thing regarding discipline that I wish the NHL would do as well. Say Patrick Kane goes nuts and decides to treat an opposing player like a cab driver and boards him. If Kane is suspended for 5 games, Chicago should have to play those 5 games with one less roster spot. It punishes the team as well as the player. MLB does it and I would love to see the NHL implement it too.

My god I would love to see them do that. If the team lost a roster spot, especially in the playoffs they would think twice about putting idiots with no purpose but to stir shit up into games.

this story doesn't make sense as this would mean Patrick Kane would actually be committing to some sort of concentrated effort.

I agree though. It's the suspension that keeps on giving.

Figure out how to get me Shanahan's job and I'll see to it that it happens.

Except the MLB and NHL couldn't be more different in terms of energy spent in a game. Suggesting a team play with a short bench for 5 five games is retarded.

It doesn't have to be the length of the suspension, i.e. five games in that example.

Even if you ding Asham for 10 games, but sock the Pens a roster spot for only 1 game, as you pointed out, that still makes a huge difference and would have some coaches thinking twice.

Have fun with your pipe dream as it will never even be open for discussion in the NHL.

That's not what Marvie is suggesting though. That Torres hit has to cut him deep right now. He can't be thinking rationally about this.

I think any direct hit to the head should be a suspension. (Not including fights)
Don't care if there's intent or not.

This way players will play cautiously when an opening to the head appears.
All these stars being knocked out by scrubs to try and win a series is ridiculous.

Also the quality of refereeing has been declining the past few years.
The players really aren't sure how they're supposed to play.
They usually use the 1st period as a test to see how a certain referee will call a game.

Michael Landsberg interview with Claude Lemieux:

"I was suspended a handful of times."
"How much less than a handful?"
"Four times, I think."
"Yeah. We looked it up."
"So how many times was it?"
"Four times. I wouldn't have asked that question if I didn't know."

Truer words never spoken.

Sadly this is all pipe dreams. The best we will get is a new guy in charge of this next year, and he will start out tough and then the GM's will cry and he will get soft, and players will keep taking runs at skill players because they know it is a win win situation.

a lot of the things people have discussed are probably a pipe dream for the NHL

equal suspensions for superstars as compared to grinders/goons etc. C'mon we know that won't happen.
Click to expand...

But it's more than reasonable. Make an equal punishment severe enough players will comply. It's the same mentality Marvie is taking with his suggestions, but I think my suggestion is more feasible.

Example: Joe Thorton took out Perron for over a year. He's a skill player and so is Perron. Thorton didn't get shit for it. Where's the justice?

Unless a superstar makes someone look like Gretzky NHLPA '93 then its not going to happen. But while we're talking about things we all want can we get rid of the instigator rule?

Both are feasible. Neither will happen.

Alright, I'm sick of this shit.

Jumbo got two games and a fine when he had no history so shut the fuck up. There's even a quote out there from Perron, that I will try to find, saying that he had no idea what else Thornton could have done in that situation. He had literally just come out of the penalty box and Perron and the puck were coming right at him. Quit fucking crying about it.

Had to read 10 pages, but it was worth it.

TRADE LUONGO, KEEP SNYDER

Canucks played well last night, but the Kings didn't look prepared to handle the Sedin cycle. They'll be ready on Sunday.

Playoffs being tonight for me! Try asking a Texas bartender to put on a Bruins game, you're just speaking a different language to them.

Not quite...

"It certainly is interesting that way," Perron said. "But I'm over it. I talked to Joe before and we're good now. It's obviously not a play that he's real happy about. It was somewhat of a dirty hit. I ended up missing 97 games. But I'm past it now, and I'm feeling good. I just look forward to playing some playoff hockey. It would be even better if we could beat these guys."

No see superstars never get suspended except for all the times they have been suspended over the last few seasons.

EDIT:

BTW, Perron changed his views recently. When he first returned from the injury, he said what Acid was noting.

Rinaldo didn't get anything? Must have sent the league these pictures of himself to convince them:

And Crosby as the cowardly lion? Well, the Flyers certainly aren't in Kansas anymore. Suck it.

That's a great idea!

Until you get someone who might get suspended for a whole season...?
