How about the non-supplemental discipline here?



Morris suspended for what? Hitting Scuderi?



Let the knowledgeable hockey fans talk kid.

I actually think the NHL got it right minus not fining Smith for the slash, but I don't expect the NHL to start going after goalies.

Being in and around the crease is part of the game, hacking someone in the back of the legs when they aren't looking isn't.

i don't think that anyone can say what is unprovoked and what is provoked. theres a lot that goes on between the whistles and things that are said. sure Mike's slash was a good one, but its a slash... he didn't Mcsorley him. are you going to fine everyone who slashes someone else?

Smith has taken bumps this series that go unpunished and he's seen the little league antics of Dustin Brown. Goalie whacks have always been part of hockey.

Well, not every slash is the same...
I wouldn't consider a slash to a stick the same as a slash to the back of somebody's legs/knees.

I think I missed out on the discussion here, but honestly, it wasn't just a hit- it was a knee on knee hit. And I'm missing the point on the Scuderi hitting Chimera video? Because he hit someone low two years ago, Morris is justified in hitting him knee on knee?

For the record, there's no way I think Morris should have been suspended for that. Just asking.

Tonight's game should be interesting though.

Hopefully Kings pull a 3-0 lead. That would be awesome.

I agree with you on lots of little things that go on between the whistles. Lots of things are said but a slash to someones stick in play is a hell of a lot different than slashing behind the play like that, IMO it's with intent to injure. I'm saying this being more of a Coyotes fan than a Kings fan. What he did was in no way a "hockey play".

On a funny side note, my gf saw a replay of it and said,"he should be kicked out of the league for good! that was really mean" hahaha
I'm glad she's not handing out the supplemental discipline.

Was your gf the one that handed out the Torres suspension?

Shit she might as well have been, maybe I can put in the good word with her before the appeal.

[thinkingjack]

I think this further supports my argument about the pussification of society and the sport. Did we already forget Goalies like Ed Belfour?

Wrong, he's taken this shit from the Kings all season long, all the kings games he's been run constantly. You snap after a while.

Such a good series right now, no one can stop LA

Part of me thinks you're just trying to rub in the whole LA thing because of the coyotes first round series...

[HockeySavants]

Of course, but they beat two teams I hate (Vancouver and St. Louis) so they are natural folk heroes at this point.

[DField56]

well, I am hoping somehow someway the Yotes are able to get something going. Whitney has disapeared, LA to big and physical for him?

I really respect how Brown is playing. The dude is out there at 150% the entire game.
I respect him as a captain. Seems like a great leader. Canucks could really use a captain like that, I think.

He's been effective no doubt. I think he's almost reacher Sean Avery status the way he gets the coyotes going. Not a fan of his diving or embelishments though.

He's really playing like a completely different guy right now. Ever since he almost got traded at the deadline, his game turned 180 degrees. He hasn't brought this much energy to the ice for a few years, but he's absolutely been one of the most effective guys in the entire playoffs this post-season.

[HockeySavants]

I wouldn't say Brown has done much diving as of lately
