Crosscheck to Dubois' chops would have done the trick just fine, and would have been worth the suspension imo.

All things considered, easy 10+ games for Matthews if he did that.

(frank)ing Jets say Pionk will be on concussion protocol and won’t travel with the team.

Well due to his suspension he misses a game against Carolina at home tonight and Vegas on the road… but since he’s not going either he’ll miss a game against Vancouver as well. And that’s it.

(frank) you Winnipeg…. This is starting to sound like obvious BS

Sneaky devils.

no knee extension by Pionk, clean hit, unfortunate result. Pionk leaned in with his shoulder, both legs behind his center, got some body. Sandin's own extension got tangled with Pionk and caused injury. Pionk lost at George's magic 8 ball of DOPS

I refuse to believe you actually think that.

The stupidity required shouldn't be possible.

He's only $750K so no.

I was just kidding.

They didnt cheat in the first place.

For sure, even if 2 games is soft.

I was responding to the guy sating there was no intent, which Pionk has shown over his career, there was. And also if you watch it. Blatant and deliberate knee.

Does the picture of the contact show targeting the knee? No it does not. Perhaps Sandin is trying to put a knee into Pionk's groin though.

Sneaky devils.

Sorry not Vegas, Seattle… still all the same… only giving up the game against the Canucks

It's just a continuation of what they did on the ice on Sunday. Mugging Matthews was about as low class as hockey gets. Maurice went to new lows as well, being a douche and complaining about the officiating made me throw up a little.
- winsix

Yeah, Maurice complaining about anything in that game is absolutely insane.

He got suspended for it so you’re flat out wrong.

That guy is a dirty player plain and simple.

Maurice is the biggest whiner coach in the entire league and it isn't even close.

I look at the evidence of the incident and judge based on what was done, not by the outcome (that nobody wanted to see).

Mitch Marner: 3-4 weeks (shoulder)
Travis Dermott: 2 weeks??? (shoulder)
Rasmus Sandin: 2-3 weeks (knee)
Jason Spezza: suspended for life without parole.

Awesome!

- Fakepartofme

Yes they did cheat. Kucherov stayed out of the lineup to allow the team to remain cap compliant. They cheated, the league decided not to pursue them for it.

Too bad that shot is after Pionk sticks out his knee and Sandin makes contact.
Before he leans in with his shoulder, he sticks out his knee

The outcome does play into it though. League has said as much many times.

A frozen pic is nothing more than offering you a capability to use a defence argument to your dirty player…. That ain’t gonna fly here… people actually have the vid

not how it happened. The contact spun Pionk (can-opener effect) causing his leg to extend *after* the initial contact.

It was an unfortunate hockey play and a miss by DOPS.

What is this now? A quadruple down on stupidity?

The only miss by DO"PS" was giving the dirty little rat 2 games.
