Those sorts of things, it seems to me, are usually or used to be reversed on the wings. A ton of shots, no goals. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

I don't think the call was all that bad. I've played enough hockey to know that there is worse, but you shouldn't be stupid enough to swing the stick like that. Hockey's a tough sport, but that kind of play is always horsecrap in my book. The way he swung, in spite of him not putting his whole body into it, was negligent. Five and a game. Probably not a suspension, in my book. |

When the stick becomes a weapon, I'd like to see more fives and a toss. Hit hard. Work hard. Use the stick as a means to help but not as weapon. |

He made the right call. If I was in that position, I’d probably do the same thing,” admitted Subban, who was ejected at the 8:23 mark of the second period after laying a two-handed slash across Stone’s right wrist as the right-winger attempted to establish body position in front of the Canadiens’ goal. “I paid the price for taking that penalty. The right decisions were made on the ice. Obviously, I don’t want to be out five minutes and I don’t want to be out of the game. But, when a player is hurt like that, that’s what happens.” http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=763696 I wasn't actually looking for that...I was trying to find out where Jared Tinordi was playing these days; I am hoping he soon breaks out of the minors for good. He played defense on a team I coached when he was about 7. It is fun to see him playing when he has the Canadiens sweater on! |

If we can't use the stick as a weapon, I'd have to quit smoking and actually play. F#$% that. You're killing me, RonC ;) Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Hey, Face...there is a difference between a "weapon" and a "tool"...I'm all for using every necessary undetected means to hinder the progress of a faster opponent (or one that just got a step on me (that would be pretty much everyone) just not spearing, butt-ending, and attempts at criminal behavior! Do you you referee at all? That was a great way to get paid to skate...perhaps the best besides the $500 I made skating and working the Portland Pirates summer camp in 2003 or so... |

| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | I don't, but am signing up this Fall. I was going to do it last year, but missed the cutoff date, and apparently they only open it once a year and don't do mid-season apps. Paid to skate? Pfft. Best money ever =) Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4515 | It was pure embelishment by Stone followed up by the front office trying to get a suspension for PK. Stone played 18 minutes and had 2 assists tonight. You don't do that with a damaged wrist. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

If the stick isn't swung like you are chopping down a tree, it wouldn't have mattered as much. I know Face argues about the amount of force of the blow, but the player was injured and left the ice. 61.3 Major Penalty - A major penalty, at the discretion of the Referee based on the severity of the contact, shall be imposed on a player who slashes an opponent. When injury occurs, a major penalty must be assessed under this rule Interestingly, the NHL rulebook does not appear to have a double minor option for slashing... |
