js2 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=265581&lid...s=headlines_nhl I thought he deserved at least 10 for that blatant flying elbow to the head for a repeat offender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Oh yeah, what I don't understand is how Steve Downie gets 20 games for leaving his feet and shouldering McAmmond in the face and Gauthier only gets 5 for a flying elbow to the face.

Wayne-1 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=265581&lid...s=headlines_nhl I thought he deserved at least 10 for that blatant flying elbow to the head for a repeat offender. Gauthier is not a 'repeat offender' as far as supplementary discipline goes... his last suspension was in April of 2006... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_133 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Whether it was enough or not is debatable but this is a small step in the right direction, this normally would have been ignored or maybe a 1 game toke suspension. Now, if they can do it to superstars (Pronger) and in the playoffs I'll take the NHL a little more seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie12 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 2 reasons why gauthier got less games: 1) he isnt as recent a repeat offender, as Wayne pointed out. Downie may not have been a repeat offender himself, but Gauthier has played 530 games - downie has played like 60. 2) Downey's hit he actually ran and jumped before contact - Gauthier made contact (very very dirty and gutless - not a sideswipe mark messier elbow, but a head on in your face elbow) and then his feet left the ice. Its a slight difference in word but makes a huge difference in how his weight is applied to the hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunwah Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Oh, I thought he got suspended this season for sucker punching Patrick Kaleta. Nope, and Kaleta missed 25ish games for that sucker punch to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruuvimeisseli Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Imo: he deserved 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_gal89 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 should be a filter on these idiots being allowed in the league, going to kill someone The only way you're ever going to do that is to shave the team down by 7-10 teams.
