Why can't they get Al Macinnis to come out and "accidentally" shoot the puck at Pierre between the glass?

Oh my, that would be amazing. MacInnis' slapper would probably take his head clean off. A guy can dream, eh?

Absolutely horrible fucking cross check by Byfuglien the other night.

No need for that shit whatsoever. Buff is extreeeemly lucky, extremely fucking lucky that the goalie's skate wasn't closer to Miller's head. The crosscheck to the back of the neck driving a guy's head into the ice is incredibly dangerous enough, but if that skate was a few inches closer who the fuck knows what we're talking about today. He's lucky he didn't paralyze him or worse.

Did the ref make a call on that? Who was the player that now has a sore neck?

No call on the play, and JT Miller.

He'll probably get less than Carcillo did for a much worse offense.

Byfuglien is only going to get 5 games max as he has a phone hearing.

Come on, Buff. You're better than that. :facepalm:

Came here to see if someone posted about this. Brutal cross-check and he deserves to be suspended for it.

It's a joke. He should be gone for a really long time. That could have ended disastrously. Worse than Bertuzzi on Moore... just a better outcome, thankfully. NHL won't learn until they have someone laying on the ice paralyzed from the neck down, or dead.

True, but that's merely reflective of the reactive society in which we live.

I love Buff and wish he was still here. He is so big and powerful, he carries an air of invincibility, almost arrogance in his style of play. He crossed the line here though, sometimes a player can get caught up in the moment and lose themselves in the heat of the battle. But he deserves what ever the league gives him, which could be too much or not enough, most would agree they are never very just in what they decide on.

For whatever reason this part didn't register with me when I initially read your post. After going back and looking at the video several more times... that could've been very, very ugly. That skate blade is inches from his face.

"Extremely lucky" is right.

What do you mean by "very just"? Like, consistency?

Consistency with the punishments they give out. Punishments should match the crime and the offenders history.

Gary Suter only got 4 games for the cross check to Kariya back in 98. My guess is Buff gets 4-5 games. Should be more, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a brawl next time in Winnipeg because of the slap on the wrist.

Never really understood the infatuation with Buff. He'd either be a d-man that struggles to play D or an overpaid forward here. Both of which the Hawks dont need any more of.

Buff got a 4 game suspension. Weak. Should of got the rest of the regular season. That will make others think about taking themselves out of helping the team make the playoffs.

It's going to take another Bertuzzi-Moore incident for them to change. I'm convinced of that. They're going to need someone paralyzed or killed on the ice. That's just what it's going to take at this point.

Shantz My Pants · Apr 3, 2015

If the league is so "anti-let the players police themselves" they need to do one of two things. Either 1) make these suspensions for obvious blatant acts of violence harsher and more consider, or 2) Get rid of their stance and remove the instigator because you can't be sitting in the middle here. Either accept that this type of shit is bad for the game and unacceptable and needs to be heavily punished or let the players figure it out because right now, players aren't feeling like the punishment is fitting the crime, which results in Buff more than likely getting challenged to fight next time the Jets play the Rangers.

When there was no instigator the game was more violent (in terms of horrible hits and getting "revenge") than ever. That would be going backwards.
