Which again, is wrong. They call it sometimes and not others, you either do or you don't, it all comes back to a consistency issue.
- peddy-93

100% (frank)ing agree

0 consistency

For all teams

Can't argue with Leafs' fans, they're too hypocritical, don't waste your time
- sliprock65

then why are you in here?

Not comparing the players.... comparing the suspensions for head hits. and he didnt hit him SQUARE in the chest, elbows up caught the head. Plus elbow to the goalie head.. 7 games. You can stop laughing now
- JoeSabre

I will make you a deal.... 7 games or more I will never post again, 6 games or less you never post again....(except for in Garth's blog because no one goes there anyway)

"can't argue with Leaf fans"

It happens every day in here, multiple discussions, I think Dozzer said it best and I will let him say it again about some Leaf fans when arguing starts, as well as some visitors.

Yes you can

hey LM - Rolling Stones suck

Do we all forget that Ryan Miller plays like Jesus Christ when he plays the Leafs?
- Cherry--Skoal

Don't forget that we will also have Jesus Christ in net at the other end

I like your chances

He got double teamed

Poor (frank)er looked a little rattled after
- Garnie

What a warrior he is though amirite!? Dion is earning his pay cheque this season so far IMO.
The last few games he has been throwing the body like he used to when he was a Flamer

Yes you can

hey LM - Rolling Stones suck
- Garnie

I'm not a fan of theirs.

I listen to just about anything, hell I have been listening to symphonic metal/rock lately.

Serious trip hazard.

As if we don't have enough to worry about with ice.

I'll admit I'm whining, but it's not about the Leafs, its about the damn leagues protocol when it comes to 'suspendable plays'

Exactly what I was eluding to, consistency.

I admit sometimes I see things with my blinders on, we all do with our teams but the level of calls being missed, it is troublesome, you have one ref calling it a penalty and the other ref letting the same thing go at the other end during the same game, lack of CONSISTENCY.

Head like an anvil, not worried about the punishment he takes just some bonehead passes he makes, but he's been 2x better this year compared to last

I'm sure it's more support and a little less ice time

Sign him 6 yr - $7m

That's all the leafs can afford

Exactly. I think that is the word of the day here, consistency. Which the league has none of.

Okay well, hit on Granlund is undeserving of a suspension.
Hit on Backstrom is 3-5 games.

Sooooo....McClement as 1C?
- Whyaduck

The hit on grandlund was uncalled for...it was such a stupid penalty to take, but maybe underserving of a suspension. However, the elbow to Niklas Backstrom deserves a minimum 3-4 game suspension. Some goon is gonna knock this arrogant, self centered player. He's a good player, but he deserves to get clocked.

kadris hit on granlund was textbook perfection.
shoulder into his body, and hard.
ridiculous that they even mention that the 'punishment fit the crime on the ice', giving a major penalty to a top player for a perfectly clean hit had a big effect on the outcome of the game.

with that said, kadri shouldn't have even been still in the game to make the nice hit on granlund because the backstrom hit should have been a major.

- Garnie

I don't like the pop, hip pop or rap crap, throw in the massive autotune and it does not appeal to me.

But I expect people to say the same thing to what I listen to but at least the vocals of the classic rock stuff is pure raw talent.

a clean hit is not uncalled for....it is part of the game.

Granlund should be suspended for tying his skates during game play with the puck in his feet.

The goalie hit will get him 2 or 3

He was clocked by a high hit to the jaw/head by Boychuk Saturday night, btw, no penalty on the play.

Look at Tootoo on Miller in 2011. (I posted the video a page or two ago). I can't see Kadri getting more than one game. Granlund hit was a charge at worst.

I will make you a deal.... 7 games or more I will never post again, 6 games or less you never post again....(except for in Garth's blog because no one goes there anyway)
- jribout

I was thinking something closer to 3-4 games, but I just saw the video posted and didn't watch the game. Reading the blog, leaves me to believe that if he gets suspended for less than 5 games, this kid is going to become a new target for goons and for hitters, possible for the rest of the season.
