So I have to be honest here, I expected Russ' penalty to be downgraded or at worse, left as-is. However, it's been upgraded to a 5+G!  Read the "full story" at eliteleague.co.uk/dops-no-ban-but-moyer-penalty-upgraded/Is this retribution for DoPS-gate earlier in the season? Given the garbage we see happening in games week in, week out; I'm actually lost for words as to how this has been upgraded. It also doesn't help that there's conveniently no "explanation" video provided alongside Simon Kirkham's decision. |

It's BS, however we all know this. Maybe explanations are reserved for suspensions but really not an excuse, I at least hope the club and therefor the player understand the reason behind the "punishment".
My only rational thought on the matter was that it really wasn't a 'hockey play', far from a heinous act of thuggery it wasn't a hit that Moyer needed to make. He personally could have suffered and why poke the bear ? So maybe that's the reason to essentially draw the line where had it been just a poorly executed hit which many have been including Turon and Brooks in recent weeks there would have been no further action but this wasn't that type of situation. Still smells though! |

He nudged Keefe who through himself to the floor, just another DOPS piece of garbage Not saying it was the hardest hit ever given but he more than nudged Keefe who never saw it coming and he hardly threw himself to the floor. His reaction in looking to rip Moyer's head off tells you how angry he was at the hit. Keefe is a hard nosed player throwing himself on the ice isn't his style. Dumb play from Moyer never a game Misconduct but still a stupid penalty to take so late in 4-0 game. |

Great video, what a nut case that man was, hammered a few Flyers players as well in his time. Dirty and filthy as you like, couldn't take it though, any touch on him would send him ballistic. Should have been thrown out the game completely, how would DOPS have handled him then? |

I would love to see the little Simon Kirkham description in a review video featuring him! |

Total joke decision but why on earth are our official social media feeds asking fans to comment on whether they agree with it? Same social media that constantly deletes fans comments on other matters. You can't have it both ways.
