Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks stand up for each other but can't avoid 8th straight loss Nazem Kadri will not face supplemental discipline for his blindside hit on Daniel Sedin after the Vancouver Canucks suffered their eighth straight loss on Saturday against Toronto, 6-3.

Yeah Kadri's never had intent to injure

He never had intent when he cross-checked glendenning in the face because he lost a puck battle.
He never had intent with a blindside elbow to the head of Matt Fraser
He never had intent with an elbow to the head of backstrom because couldn't score on him

Kadri is just miss-understood.

Ray's angry!!

1) I know what rule says but I just don't get hits from the side and how they are ruled upon. Zero chance to protect yourself
(2) fact shooter is spun around means, IMO, that hit is too high, not enough body

I have found it really hard watching the Canucks this year. It has been like watching paint dry. If they were winning it would be less painful but they are not.

Last night was the first game I have really enjoyed all year.


The Ottawa game when Canucks lost 1-0 and Sedins were playing keep away for the last 15 seconds was beyond annoying.

Last night was the first time the team bonded and goals were scored by paying the price in front.

It was a cheap stupid shot by Kadri but not the first time it has happened. Loved that Hansen and Miller jumped in. It's about time this team grew a pair of balls

it's the lack of consistency that gets me. you know hits similar to this in the future are going to be deemed suspension worthy.... and some not.

i don't buy into the league/refs hate the canucks conspiracy theory but the league brings that upon itself (from all fan bases) due to very little rhyme or reason in supplementary discipline.

and for all the gleeful leaf fans out there this morning, just remember that these hits are not uncommon. i'm not calling for specific retribution but saying that when the next leaf star gets leveled and nothing gets done by the league, remember this hit.

BS from both sides last night, but the only one who deserves a small suspension or fine is Burrows.

Can't wait for December 3!

No suspension or fine for Burrows which is the right call

Reilly needs to suck it up

pretty sure reilly slew footed burrows which made burrows fall losing control of his stick. dirty play by reilly. you can see why burrows would be upset.

Benning's response to Kadri ruling: "We disagree and are very disappointed. However, we must accept it and put it behind us. #Canucks

Nah, it was retaliation and a blatant spear. Burrows will be receiving a call from Quintal.

Rip. Also, flagged by accident. That was actually my first flag the past 24 hours

No he wont

Reilly needs to suck it up and play hockey

Already confirmed he wont face anything

I agree with RC . The NHL has no conspiracy theory against any team. Bettman does hate them all equally.

I do think there is an all boys club though with Shanihan Campbell Jacobs Burke and a few others.

I think the NHL would be more lenient towards members of the club.

The mistake they are making is teams will find their own justice.

gotta watch it. reilly is probably going to be the only one suspended. 1st suspension but serious incident: 3 games minimum.

Then I guess we can say the same thing for Sedin and Hansen then, right?

Burrows has made a career of being a coward and rat and DOPS knows it. Anything
that involves a repeat offerer like Burrows (along with a select group around the league) is looked at critically.

It won't be much, but he'll get something.

Yeah spearing someone to the chest is okay. Using your stick as a weapon is okay.

Yup. Burrows is sure playing hockey out there

Come on, Yeti? I'm talking hockey.

Where was the new tougher Canucks. Aside from Dorsett fighting, the old canuck guard was in the trenches. Jv was invisible again. Gudbranson was just a mouth.

Hansen, Miller, burrows, stecher, fighting.

Sbisa was at least laying the body when he could.

Sven B. Is the biggest wussy on the team next to Larsen.

At least we came out fighting. Hope we see a lot more of that.

Kadri should have got 3. But it was a sedin and a maple leafs so ...

lucky that kadri has been clean throughout his career, otherwise, he may have been "looked at critically."

suspended 4 games. Now that is using your stick as a weapon you might want to learn the difference

I'm posting this once and once only in this thread. Leaf fans stay out of this thread, you're just inciting more agrevation by posting here, even the slightest bit of trolling or ignorant comments yoy will be gone.

Oldest trick in the book. Go target the other teams top players , throw them off their game.

LA and Chicago has been doing it for years.

You are either a giver or a taker. We are takers
