Pitton suspended

[Dirkster23]

Looks like Stars have managed to get Jason suspended for tomorrow night's game. The match sheets now showing he's been given a match pen for excessive roughness and Krantz has had his 5 plus game removed.

You sure? I've just looked and it still looks the same

Game notes are written below the boxes containing the period scores and SOG totals at the top of page mate.

Bad news is someone on THF is saying it's a 3 match suspension for excessive roughness!

I hope to god we kick up hell about this!!! Did Olson even get a ban for his incident with the Cardiff fan?

Excessive roughing my f**king a**e and for the Krantz penalty to be removed is an absolute joke!!!

[finchy]

It will only be 1 game but the Flyers will need to dig deep now. Pitton's been outstanding recently.

It's on the elite leauge website 3 match ban for excessive roughing (sucker punch) what a load of rubbish!

DISCIPLINE UPDATE
December 26, 2012

The Elite League disciplinary committee have made the following decisions following two recent requests for supplementary discipline.

Fife Flyers forward Jason Pitton has been assessed a match penalty for excessive roughness (sucker punch) for an incident which occured at the end of the first period during his side's match at Dundee Stars on Sunday 23rd December 2012.

Pitton will be banned for three matches, which is the minimum tariff for this offence.

Meanwhile, Coventry Blaze requested supplementary discipline for an incident during their match at Belfast Giants on Friday 21st December 2012.

Belfast forward Kevin Saurette was assesed a five+game misconduct for clipping in the third period (46:57).

The committee have decided this was the correct call and no further action will be taken.

This is an absolute disgrace. Yet Todd will sit back and say the officials have a tough job and do bugger all about it

[mosh86]

Hopefully Todd appeals against that. From what i see its what happened at the end of the 1st not the incident in the second. If that's the case of an automatic 3 match ban why was he still playing in the second?

[Ironjaw]

By looking at the end of the statement it's pretty clear that they won't be allowed to appeal it. If they had it like football, they could appeal and he'd be able to play until the process was complete then serve his ban but not like that unfortunately, next 3 games will most likely define the season aswell!

[sparkymark75]

Dundee do only manage to make play-offs through other teams misfortune/demise, last season was Fife/Edinburgh situations, season before that, Edinburgh/Newcastle. Looks like their tactics this year are to cheapshot their way through a game and then run to the league when retribution is handed out.

[flyersforlife01]

I think this is a disgrace, Pitton was only sticking up for a cheap shot that was done on Keller. I take it the flyers haven't complained about Rio hitting Haines from the back or any other cheap shots that were going on. I hope Stewart is back and some of the British boys take out some if their imports.

[mosh86]

Ironjaw if you mean the bit where it says no further action will be taken i think that means for the belfast penalty.

[flyersforlife01]

Had a look at the elite league rules, but it doesn't state if you could appeal the panel when they have made a decision. Does anyone know the answer to this question.
