How can you tell from the second picture? The gloves obscure the jaw. By the way, this point of impact is after the picture I originally posted. You said contact with jaw happened before.

Excellent point! Let’s all talk about cheesesteaks again. That was fun reading! A little food network vibe to Flyerbuzz.

Amoroso rolls

While you are allowed to get away with a stick to the face on the follow through of a shot, I'm not sure it applies with a cross-check.
- Tonybere


No, I meant that to suggest intent. Makes it a bit more murky.

If you were going for head, you would not devote 90% of the impact somewhere else.

And while players "are responsible for their sticks at all times etc.", I would think it mitigates the egregiousness of it as far as suspension goes.

Cheese steak is not really cheese with steak.

If it makes you feel any better, its more like ground beef with cheese on good bread, with fried onions.

A similar thing happened with the Crosby play 3 years. Crosby was sliding and moving Nisky nailed him in the face while he was on his butt already, sliding face up.

I think the clear retribution angle will go against him here. And the previous incident. And the fact that even if he did not intend to go for the jaw, he was clearly going high.

I would say its 75-25 for suspension, not 50-50 as I suggested earlier, and I don't see either judgment being indefensible.

Of course, I hope as a fan he gets away with a fine.

I'd love just a fine but I think he gets one game.

I knew. That sentence just made me laugh!

I agree. That's why I said if there had been 2min. call on the ice, he would be free and clear. Because there wasn't, I think he could run the risk of supplementary discipline.
Just like I thought the 5 + game was too much for Kotkaniemi, but the result was no talk of a hearing.

LMAO! Vigneault and Hayes crying about the love tap Suzuki gave Hart.
Flyers can't take a loss without whining in the media. This is hilarious.

- Markiz


"complaining" about it is an age-old tactic to get the ref's attention. All teams and coaches do it.

That said, it was a richard move on Suzuki's part. He knows it, and that's why he did it.

That's all in the past.

Now we laugh as Weber destroys the culprit.

If only the league would let him rest for 4 months everytime there are playoffs coming.


But what a player. So glad we have him.

Edit: Funny to think he's still on the contract signed.... with the Flyers!

I think about this when watching Weber play and my mind’s background noise plays What Might Have Been softly on the piano.

Only lineup changes I’d like to see is JVR with grant and Giroux (make G play right wing), Laughton to the fourth for Bunnaman.

Prob five as he’s a flyer. I expect this series will now go 7 and it’s a coin flip at that point.

And did the habs really have to lobby with posting the incident in slo mo on Twitter? I guess they need people calling the league offices when Other. players are mean to their. Maybe that’s the new normal.

Logical move would be try JVR with Coots and Jake. Put Rafl back on the fourth line and Bunny scratched. Or leave as is.
