Yeah. Seems they have. Was really hoping the highly paid vets could step up but boy was I wrong.

Well one young player stepped up. Unfortunately, it was right into an unsuspecting Jets player.

Cause he is one of the few tradable commodities that could provide an acceptable return. Sure they started the season very well, but certainly not great. No guarantees on when Lindblom returns, absolutely not till next year. Are you willing to give up on this one?

There are literally 0 trades they can make to account for six players being out that doesnt require you gut the team.

No way I am trading Sanheim. They are not a cup team and making a panic trade to fill an injury hole is short sited and not very smart.

You can get suspended for more than just head contact.
That hit was clearly late and interference.

Meanwhile...

Was there intent to injure? The refs clearly made the call because of the result. The call was changed after discussing it.
Handing out a five and a game for a late hit is poor officiating.
TK’s head was hit. I don’t care if it was the other guys head. It was also a little late. No penalty was called.
The league is inconsistent with officiating.

We went from 2-1 to 6-1 in like three minutes. What is their to be happy about? If a fan wants to display their frustrations, let them.

The hit was 3-5 seconds late, hard to argue there wasnt some intent behind it.
We can agree to disagree.
I think it was a needless and stupid play that warranted a major you dont.

It’s the right call. Kid has to learn from this. Chalk it up as a mistake and hope the other guy is ok.

Depends on who you get back. When do Sanheim become Bobby Orr? Besides, I was using Sanheim as an example. Could be any of the young defensemen

Can't watch the game but the box score speaks volumes. How does one manage to get 5 minutes for interference?

"The interference rule has been altered to allow for a major penalty and a game misconduct when an injury results."

No need to tread lightly at all..people disagree , its a function of being an adult.
I think it was penalty, others dont.

It was definitely a penalty dont get me wrong, but come on, a 5 minute game misconduct?! I could see if the head was point of contact or it was a hit into the boards, but just for interference on a late hit where the shoulder was the main point of contact is absurd.

Im not making it up, the rulebook allows for a 5 min major for Interference.
if the player would have gotten up and skated off I dont think he gets a game misconduct.

Listen...you are certainly not a hockey genius. It's obvious that jerks like you get off by denegrating thoughts of others. Do you even know what tripe is? Yeah...Sanheim is no Orr...He may not even be a 1st pairing d man. My point is that he's got value and the Flyers need help
