2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions

[Topper]

Principle point of contact - check

Skates left the ice to make the hit - check

Drove through the hit - check

Injury on the play - check

Two games

Department of player safety LOL

[Strangelove]

How many games does Draisaitl get?

That's got to be worth at least two.

Well they SHOULD give Draisaitl a suspension for knocking Barkov out of the game with a flying elbow.

But I'm betting they won't unless it's confirmed Panthers captain Barkov goes on the injury list.

I'm guessing Barkov was in the quiet room for the last half of the third period.

Brutal play.

Foegele, or Draisaitl? Both hits could be 2 games.

[Hockey Widow]

Dusted.

LOL. Took the word right out of my mouth.

Agreed - it's a definite suspention but my guess is the NHL won't have the balls to do it. Oilers could have had 3 suspensions last night with the knee on knee hit (5 and a game so they'll probably just leave it there), the elbow to the jaw and the spear in the nuts. Very little makes me happier than seeing that team unhinged.

How about a sweep?

rumour on the street is no suspension. Wouldn't be surprised if the NHL 'threw the book' at Foeagle with a 1 or 2 game suspension to try to appease the Florida fans but will be shocked if Draisaitl gets anything.

[Aaronp18]

Zero chance Dry or McCry get suspended for anything they do that doesn't render someone feeding from a tube.

Looks like FLA made some adjustments from game 1 and took it to the Coil game 2.

Be interesting to see if the home crowd can get EDM back in the series!

We can only hope!

[donlever]

No suspension would just further exemplify the joke that this league can be.

[Topper]

The inconsistency means no one knows where the bar is set.

Saw one article mentioning the extent, or lack of injury to Barkov may have been a factor. That would suggest Barkov isn't seriously hurt and should be back Thursday.

What bullshit.

[donlever]

Yeah...BS indeed......he crossed his arms and propelled himself forward into Barkovs head.

Hurt or otherwise the German cunt should miss games.

One could even argue intent as Barkov's defensive play is a massive Cup hampering enigma for those two asswipes and with him out of the way they might have a chance.

[Tciso]

It's all OK. Carrick got a $2,000 fine for his slash. Justice has been done. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Good thing Carrick did that slash, or Foegele or Draisaitl might have gotten a game or 2 suspension.

[donlever]

The NHL doesn't have the gonads to suspend Draisaitl in a year the greatest player ever has a chance to finally win a Cup.

[Hockey Widow]

Didn’t Soucy get 1 game for the crosscheck? The one aimed at midsection that got him in the throat as Zordorov knocked him over. I mean it was a crosscheck but no intention to go high.

The German was deliberate and intentional in his head hunt. No justice, no peace!

Riot tonight at 9 pm.
