  • Comment on Audio: Subban game-time decision for Habs

    To expand on that point, one could take into account the 6 points in 3 games that MAB had earlier this year. What does that mean?

    The same thing as everything else written here: diddly-squat.

    I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but it seemed timely.

    Yup. Taken cbc sports: "Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Randy Jones was suspended for two games by the NHL on Monday for his hit on Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron over the weekend. League disciplinarian Colin Campbell said he didn't believe Jones intended to injure Bergeron when he drove him into the boards from behind during the first period of Philadelphia's 2-1 win Saturday night in Boston, but that the Flyers defenceman delivered a "hard check to a player who was in a vulnerable position." I don't remember the details of the hit (haven't bothered to look it up on youtube), but it doesn't sound like the extent of the injury was known at the time. Doesn't sound like they knew he'd be out for the season. Only that an injury had occurred therefore it required further investigation and, ultimately, a 2 game suspension. Look, I'm not saying things are perfect or even fair. I'm just saying, like it or not, the occurrence of an injury is ONE of many things looked at when reviewing these things. Often it's "no harm, no foul" and "harm, well, let's look at all the other factors." d.

    I'll repeat: "...they take severity of injury into account when handing out the discipline." How exactly does that translate to injury = suspension? The internet is far to black and white for a gray guy like me... d.

    Seriously. Some of you guys need to take off the habs blinders. This sense of outrage and conspiracy is embarrassing. Pour yourselves a nice glass of single malt and take a few deep breaths. d.

    That precedent has already been set. I don't think it's a secret that they take severity of injury into account when handing out the discipline. Three games sounds okay to me. Could have been two, but whatever. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot. ;-)

    I'm tempted to flag this as offensive. Not for your comment, but for you signature. Sick and ashamed and happy (and cheer for Canada's team during the Olympics, Montreal's team during the NHL season...and not going to get into any notion of "god's team"), d.
