Sorry, I should have read that particular 18 page document before commenting. :scowl:

Point remains: the NHL justice system is a Kangaroo Court.

Do you disagree Poindexter? :devil:

In fact, your response begs the question:

Why doesn't Mr Shanahan clarify all this "history" vs "Repeat Offender" BS rather than muddle things?

I don't tend to read lengthy documents if I can avoid it.
I recall the guy at Bountiful complaining than someones two paragraph post was too long. Was that you?

Those are SUPPOSED to clarify the "logic" behind these suspension decisions. :lol:

In a perfect Hindu world the Director of PS would save us the trouble of having to read your documents.

Thanks for the info ole pal, but it’s STILL a Kangaroo Court.

And a Kangaroo Court is a Kangaroo Court is a Kangaroo Court.

Believe me, I should know! :mrgreen:
Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Before spouting off, maybe you should understand a bit about what you are talking about. You really should familiarize yourself with section 18.15 of the CBA.

I first read that article at the time it was released because I wanted to know what the deal was with the Kaleta case and appeal. It was after a few of you were breaking your backs over "previous offender" that I recalled the article and began googling.

A first offender banned 1 games looses salary for 1/total number of days in the NHL season, ie # of days from the first NHL game of the season until the last NHL game of the season, a repeat offender (someone previously sanctioned in the previous 18months) looses 1/82 of his salary.

I called Shanahan out as a media whore after his first video knowing full well they would be a circus act. What took you so long Mr. Brannum?

edit - for those complaining about injury being a factor in Shanahan's ruling, that is written in the CBA. I don't agree with the concept but it isn't going to be changing anytime soon.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

LMAO you're not getting this are you?

There are no "rules" in a Kangaroo Court.

Only the illusion of rules...

Or perhaps you can tell this court on what basis Shanny used Phil Kessel's "history" in HIS suspension?

(suspended for his 2nd slash on John Scott this past pre-season)

In his video, Shanny explained that:

"It's important to note that, just 6 days before, Kessel engaged in 2 similar stick swinging incidents in a game against Philadelphia".

So is Captain Kangaroo telling us that all past minor penalties are factors?

Should we go scurrying through the CBA to fill in every gap seemingly left by the Director of Player Safety

... like a bunch of chaos-fearing patsies?

Or is this all just one big fucking joke? Image

BTW Shanny completely wrote-off Kessel's first slash on Scott as "self-defense". :lol:

Look THAT up in your effin CBA!

Would you have this court believe that you are, in good conscience, defending a "circus act"?? :crazy:

Or are you saying Shanny's decisions are based entirely on sound logic

... but for some unknown reason he presents only earth-shattering unsound logic in his videos? :mex:

Strangelove,

In your opinion, does Brendan Shanahan qualify as a creative out of the box thinker?

I certainly think he does!

The good thing about this time of year is that the fish smell starts to clear up. Should be gone in another two months.

Skip along Mr. Brannum. Obviously my post was too long for your comprehension. Please accept my apologies for taxing you with poly syllable words.

Ironic, dbr recalls the Betman explanation ......

Yes the CBA may be something worth knowing about before you start whining like Bobby Clarke's little bitch.

If the Canucks can win these next two games against Edmonton and Boston, not only will it be a great morale boost.......but we'd also be within striking distance of the top spots in the conference (games in hand or not).

*knocks on Poindexter’s forehead*


Ummmm heeeelloooooo…

What I’ve been saying all along is that Shanahan is failing to communicate rationale.

I mean, THANK YOU POINDEXTER for digging up the CBA definition of “repeat offender”

… but it doesn’t change anything in regards to the rationale communication problem.

And the fact I had to hear this tidbit from YOU actually strengthens my overall argument.

But hey, obviously you’re looking for some kind of nerd award for finding this morsel.

So without further ado I dub thee: Topper, the King of Kangaroo Court Technicalities!

Happy? :santa:
