Sorry but this doesn't make sense. I'm not arguing that what Weber didn't wasn't blatant, or didn't deserve to get suspended for it. None of that changes what Kronwall did, and that was a hit that deserved a suspension. The Weber situation has nothing to do with that.

It does make sense because what Weber did was far worse. No question about it. So yes, it does make sense.

I don't disagree that what Weber did was far worse. When it did it become a debate about what was worse?

Not sure even with him that he could turn things around. But anything is possible.

I tend to disagree. I'd say direction and coaching is something that has been sorely missed in Edmonton. Edmonton has a rich history and I'm doubting they'll stay a mess forever.

It's not a debate at all. The point is, the suspension is ill timed.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like his forearm makes initial contact with the upper chest and sometimes I think he gets the head. I think I read that despite all of his huge (sometimes questionable) hits in the past, Kronwall hasn't been suspended before. No prior history of suspensions + no Kucherov injury + game 7 = no suspension

I have to agree that's the outcome. He'll get a fine.

Game 10 of the regular season he sits a game.

edit: SHOCKED he got game 7!!!

Suspension's shouldn't be based on timing, and the situation such as a playoff game or game 7. Maybe Kronwall should consider that before making a bad hit. His actions were ill timed.

Kronwall has been doing the exact same thing for years and they're deciding to do something now. Yes, the timing is bad.

If you watch the player safety video, they detail why this hit is different from the "exact same thing" that Kronwall had been doing for years. Actually, if the league is serious about player safety, the timing is absolutely perfect.

Yeah and according the league, everything is reviewed. So how exactly is the Weber hit on Zetterberg missed a few years back? So tell me how the league misses anything as you pointed out in your previous posts?

I'll put it as matter of factly as I can. I think the League made the wrong decision on the Weber hit on Zetterberg.

well.

I'm sure they can be but more changes than just a coach might be the ticket.

We disagree on that. In my opinion the league got this one right.
