How the fuck does Mcquade get no suspension for that knee of Foligno ?

It's really hard to take the NHL seriously the way they kiss the Bruins ass over and over again.

i would say the Mcquaid knee was far more deliberate than the Porter one. Certainly suspendable.

The problem of inconsistent suspensions still stems from the injury factor. Foligno came back to the game so in the NHL's eyes all is fine and dandy. Until the NHL realizes that injuries only result a very minor amount of times and start simply punishing the act itself nothing is really going to change. Unless they decide to concentrate on something that injury/non-injury factor plays a huge role and it shouldn't. So basically, until they decide to go no tolerance for hits from behind, knees, and other dangerous plays like they have decided to with hits to the head nothing will change in those areas.

Well that and the bruins CLEARLY get preferential treatment.

This is really getting out of hand.

I'm surprised the other owners/management haven't gone on a rampage about it yet. I'm guessing one or two more "boys will be boys" things w the B's before this thing starts to boil over for the League.

Jeremy Jacobs has a firm grip of Bettemans jewels and never passes an opportunity to inflict pain if he doesn't tow Jacobs line. Remember Jacobs is connected (remember his horse racing exploits )

How the NHL got into this mess :(

No BS. A Bruin finally got suspended!

Lucic gets Shanabanned for 1 whole game. Hopefully there's more to come.

Now that he is a repeat offender, it'll be fun to see what happens next time.

I can't be bothered to watch the hit again but I seem to recall Lucic making a decent attempt to get shoulder to shoulder and Rinaldo said he didn't believe it was dirty.

Can't help but think that this is a makeup suspension for Lucic running Miller and/or the failed suspension on McQuaid. If so, then the NHL offices have been getting an earful from the other 29 clubs regarding those cases. Which would be a good thing as the league membership would also be sick and tired of it.

I didn't think it was that bad of a hit either,especially to those comparisons.

Your theory makes sense to me and the fact that it's bass ackwards and its the NHL makes it even more believable.

I haven't seen the hit yet, but when I heard that Lucic had been suspended for a game I assumed he had forced a bus load of minor league players off a cliff killing them all.

edit: This whole ridiculous scenario is made worse by suspending Lucic for an instance like this. It's a joke, and tant is dead on in his assessment. The 29 other teams are tired of their shit.
