Just suspend him for half a season and make the next one a full season. League doesn’t need him or his bullshit
Malkin is a dirty piece of shit and wears the A so let’s pump the brakes. Hell, Chara is one of the dirtiest players in the league the past 20 years and is a media beloved captain.
At this point if I am the Rangers I just go ask the Wings to loan McIlrath to them for tomorrow nights game.
I don't get it.I know fans want those actions punished, but do players really want that kind of shit to go unpunished? Only way those slaps on the wrists make sense.
Good to see them dropping the hammer on the heels of a 29 year old having to retire this week due to concussions.
The Rangers need to report a flu outbreak so they can pull up ten out of work ECHL’ers for tomorrow nights game as emergency recalls. They have nothing to play for, so dole out your own justice.
Not to mention the fact that Panarin is now out for the year with a likely concussion. Granted, it’s not a ton of games or even important ones for the Rangers. But the NHL can’t even stand behind the idea that nobody got hurt.
Not that it should matter, but it’s incredible that the league isn’t going out of its way to protect one of its most dynamic players, especially when he plays in their biggest American market.
It’s the dumbest league in the world. The NBA learned 3 decades ago maybe we should cut this stupid shit out and protect our best players
He should have been suspended for the punches to the head on a defenseless Buchnevich, but I don’t think the Panarin incident is suspension worthy since it happened in a legitimate scuffle.
It’s the entire incident. Also Wilson has 50 pounds on panarin. Wilson has been suspended by the league 5 times.
wilson is attacking a prone player and panarin grabs him, then is punched and throw to the ice and punched again....Panarin had it coming
For the record, Henrik Lundqvist once got fined $5k for squirting his water bottle at Sidney Crosby. Comparable offenses.
The Buchnevich portion of the incident was entirely suspension worthy. The Panarin part was not imo, and I don’t see how the player’s weights should be a factor.
he attacked 3 players in the incident hurting 1 and causing them to leave the game. It’s the entire incident in its entirety
This isn’t your run of the mill two guys are wrestling along the boards. panarin isn’t even trying to fight him
when you’ve lost John Scott... he’s right though, it’s all fair game now in a scrum. Go after star players, that’s the message
there are a lot of "bloggers" that deserve the move up to a big time gig like espn. he should have stayed a blogger/podcaster.
I was an asshole back In my day. Do something dirty to my team, I’ll wait till the ref wasn’t looking and always go for the ankle
can you imagine the Caps persecution/victim complex if Ovi or Backstrom get hurt answering for Wilson’s BS
Remember when the Islanders just brought up their AHL plugs against the Pens? Let’s just do that again.
I was totally thinking that. Bring up 5 goons and just make a mockery of the game and the NHL because apparently that is what they want
Could write a 20 page dissertation on just this YouTube clip. Some great hockey moments and some complete chickenshit moves (by both teams).
