Mike Augello: Kadri Suspended Three Games For Hit On Backstrom

boo

GO LEAFS GO

we don't need no stink'n centres!

Leafs are at the roster max of 23 players. To call up a Marlie, say Trevor Smith, would need to send someone else down.

Damn Right!

Lupul - JVR - Kessel
Raymond - Kulemin - Clarkson
McLaren - McClement - Ashton
Smith - Smithson - Orr

Such a pointless and selfish play.

The idiot should count himself lucky that it's only 3 games.

love that the NHL doesn't have a backup plan if half a team gets suspended.

Such a pointless and selfish play.

driving the net is a pointless and selfish play?

I wish we had some more selfish players!

reckless - yes.....pointless and selfish? dunno.

what a stupid spunk pot

Shanahan is such a twat. It should have been two max. Not because thats what he deserved but because the same play has recieved ZERO games or 2 max.

Shannahan with another bullshiit suspension again.

i didnt like the hit... To me it looked like he smooshed the elbow into the face. and then tried to sell it by flialing his arms up.


Slowly becoming quite the embellishing artist

agreed, Kadri's play was extremely reckless and he is an idiot for getting that close and not even trying to avoid the goalie but at least he is playing hard.

He just needs to pay more attention to his surroundings.

no doubt he looked at the schedule and saw the next 2 were against buffalo and thought "well that doesn't really count..."

Driving the net good. But when you run over the goalie, make sure you at least get nudged a bit by a dman first.

That was the issue, there was no dmen around him to blame the contact on. Makes it look worse, IMO.

Yes! The onus should definitely be on the league to make sure a team remains competitive if that teams players are stupid, wreckless and get suspended. Good call!

Didn't Jordan Tootoo get only 2 games as a repeat offender?


Didn't Brian Gionta get 0 games for putting Riemer out for god knows how long?

another middle man out. Maybe Rimer can play up front.

hey 100% in favour of him being suspended for that play - he deserves that. But it's not a play where he walked up and 2 handed someone across the head away from the play (to me that is a "pointless / selfish" play). It was an over zealous / reckless hockey play and I'll take it.

Yup....NHL's fault....

Yup.

Three is fair as long as it's consistent for everybody. I just hope that the next time this happens to someone that they also get three...

Such a pointless and selfish play.

You're talking about the hit on Backstrom, right?

Next time, he is a repeat offender. That should make him more respectful.
