Nordstrom Suspended 2 Games per NHL

Justified suspension, IMO.

All Nordstrom had to do in that situation was grab OEL and ride him into the boards, and that would've separated him from the puck as well. Anytime you extend your arms to shove a player in the back that close to the boards, you deserve a suspension.

Troy Murray blasted Nordstrom on the radio for making the hit and, now seeing it myself, I understand why. Can't do that.

I really like how the NHL puts those films together. Was that Shanahan's brainchild or have they always accompanied a disciplinary ruling, or at least since the advent of the Internet? I don't seem to recall any of those films before his tenure, but I could be mistaken.

I would be all over the league allowing players to bear hug a player into the boards. It is safer and give the same resulting effect of rubbing the player off the puck. Too bad it is looked at as a holding penalty now.

Not a bad idea. Wouldn't you be taking yourself out of the play though, by way of tying up your own stick?

Suspension wasnt big enough. He should have been mandated back to the AHL where he belongs.

I think they were new with Shanny because of how wishy washy Campbell was....especially for his son.

Campbell never gave disciplinary ruling out on any Bruins players though, because of his son.
