Just right. He's injured other players before and gotten away with it scot free. |

Brutal suspension. Fine would have been enough. How does Kunitz not even get a call for his elbow that breaks Hamonics nose but Gio gets 2 games for an shin on shin with no intent. Guess Gio was closing in on that Norris race and NHL had to give Reilly some time to get ahead. |

Yep. Took Cam Fowler out in a game near the end of the season and knocked him out of the playoffs. No penalty, no suspension. |

What the (frank) has this got to do with anything?? Ducks fans whining about things not going their way - in prior seasons!! Absolutely priceless! Give it a rest you clown. I'm guessing you didn't even see the play that is in question here.

You're the moron, as are most holier than thou Ducks fans! Gio does not have a "pattern of kneeing". You guys are pathetic - you should try watching some hockey games!

Good to see there is nothing unique about the posters in the Leafs threads kicking each other in the balls on a daily basis. |

After his lame ass cheapshot on Cam you would have hoped for something for kneeing guys into injuries. How many times was the league gonna let him get away with it?? Should have been 5 at least. He’s a coward. Thank goodness Josh beat his ass before he could turtle. |

Boohoo go cry somewhere else yeah baby. Gio was ready to drop them with Koivu and I’m sure he would of with anyone else that wanted to. Look at how Dumba handled his cheap shot when he was asked to answer the bell. He hit the ice and turtled. That’s a coward. |

A joke of a suspension. It wasn’t knee on knee it was a shin on shin which happens as a result of reaction by most hockey players sometimes every year.
Dumba forearms Backlund in the head with 30 seconds left in a game they’re not going to win and gets nothing? Good job nhl for really “going after those headshots”. If that’s a 2 game suspension then Dumbas should be 5.
At least Gio went over to Koivu and first tried to apologize and then offered to fight if Koivu wanted to. He’s a man and is willing to answer for his mistake.
I like Dumba but turtling when a serious lightweight comes after you isn’t answering for his mistake.
And as for Ducks fans complaining...give it up. You’ve had the cheapest team in hockey for years. Kesler????? Perry????? And you’re going to complain about anyone else? Might as well trade for Marchand too to complete the trifecta of the dirtiest forwards in the league. So please take a look at the countless times your players have done things over the years before you even consider attacking a guy who hurt one guy on your team one time years ago.

Too much. Kneeing happens. Usually not a cheap shot, usually just an instinctive reaction. This was clearly the latter. It was an instantaneous, "Oh damn, got beat" reaction. Zero games. It's a hockey play, albeit a penalty.
League is a joke. Tom Wilson, a repeat offender, blasts a guy late and blindside in the area of the head on an obviously non-hockey and intentional play (unless the neaderthal has no peripheral vision). Nothing. An intentional elbow to the head that serves no purpose but premeditated vengeance. Nothing. A bang, bang knee by a player who is not known to be dirty (no matter what the biased parties would say). 2 games. Just insanity.
The utter lack of anything resembling rational thought is simply incredible. Keep putting meat heads in DOPS so you can later claim they just sucked at the job in the inevitable lawsuit... Yeah...look into agency law, NHL. Won't work. |

This will continue to happen because all the nancy boys want fighting taken out of the sport. Get rid of the candy ass instigator rule and let the players police themselves ! |

Solid post till you brought Marchand into it unnecessarily.
Maybe you should shut up for a spell. |

I didn’t realize you and him had special time together. That’s cute. A little over sensitive aren’t we? Tell me does Marchand like to cuddle before or after? If you’re insinuating Marchand isn’t dirty then you’re just as clueless as all the Anaheim fans on here.
Maybe you should go back to watching soccer. |

Another solid post. Really put me in my place.
You're on fire today.
Give us some more!

Two things:
1) Giordano has dirty tendencies with that knee.
2) I've been hearing this chant for a long time now. I think it goes something like, "You can't win here!" |

Yeah - these are the words of a lame ass cheap shot, who has kneed guys into injuries, and who has never been suspended until now, in his 13 plus year NHL history. This quote from Sunday's Calgary Sun newspaper.
“Obviously bad timing by me on the hit. Just a bad play — I didn’t get him, I missed him,” Giordano said of Thursday’s hit on Koivu, explaining that he was trying to squeeze the Wild captain along the boards as he cruised by. “I’m not going after anyone trying to hurt them. I’m just trying to play the one-on-one, and I just felt like I didn’t get there in time and timed the whole play wrong.
“I was surprised that our legs hit like they did,” he added. “I thought originally that I just sort of clipped him and tripped him with my feet. But yeah, you see the different angles and our legs do hit. I was just sliding over. You do that maybe 50 times a game, where you slide over on a guy and you try to close ice. I was trying to close him on the wall, and the result was a bad one and I just hope that he gets back and is playing sooner rather than later.
“You hate to see a guy go down like that.”
