am just saying though it's violent conduct and it should be more than 1 game any other sport that would be and a fine Any other sport? Which other sport can you take off your gloves and beat the sh out of an opponent and just get 5 mins. You can't compare to other sports. |

so it's acceptable to stick the nut in to someone then, no way he is suppose to be a proffesional and be an example to others, but no instead he thought stuff this he's getting it and for doing that he should have gotten it back 5 games at least or anything up to that and a fine

No one said it was acceptable. What you can't do is compare it to other sports.
Nice to see you reply with more than your usual post padding one liners though.

A good point made by a few is this is a family sport, we don't want children seeing this type of behavior then see there is a lesser punishment for it. Think the league has come across as amateur in their approach. Would love to see the full explanation as to why it was less important as it was a friendly, legally could it have been challenged if they did punish as norm?

How can you say "Don't want our children seeing this" when most of the crowd scream for blood at the first sign of a bad hit/Stickwork? We even raise our own tough guys up on plinths and almost worship them. As for the punishment the game was a pre-season and as such not under the remiit of the Elite league so they can only go with the minimum penalty. Imagine the potencial law suit's otherwise. |

Think there is a bit of a difference between a stand up fight, and things like head butting thats why it would have been a 5 game ban normally. But if the leagues hands are tied as it was a friendly then thats fair enough, but most posts on here and on other forums are critical of the perceived weak punishment of an unacceptable act. Although look at football and their 'headbutting' incidents, it could be blown out of proportion.
My reference to the kids is seeing that there is an appropriate punishment for this act, we all love a good fight, but are rightly not happy when it is taken further than that. But hey ho there's always one or two nutters in a league, looks like we may be getting one ourselves! Although I'm sure he will have a different job, and abiltiy, on our team.

Hope the flyers have been working on their powerplays as I think they will have plenty opportunities tonight. Just watched a couple of cardiffs preseason games, boy are they a bunch of goons.

Game time has arrived, 45 till puck drops, fingers crossed for good start to season. Barn is filling nicely, not too many Cardiff fans yet but they usually have a decent turnout.
COYF !

Lacosta warming up for Cardiff so injury worry seems to have come to nothing,.
Nickerson is a big lad, big beard to match, having a chat with Faulkner on the red line atm.
