Sounds about right. I thought it’d either be:
* match penalty + major. good enough
* we need to crack down and show this isn’t tolerable. 2 games.
Overall, meh. Fine. The bitching in /r/hockey is worth it alone.

So he would’ve been fine without the stick and blocker in the hand he punched with? Lol

Yet spurgeon didn’t get a suspension for cross checking Buch right on his Achilles tendons.

Hopefully we bring up Hofer for a start or two. I fucking hate Greiss.
Steel_Bolt
Lol. Not like he’s super important for us to have in net every night. A good time for this to happen.
Yimpish
I honestly have 0 experience with NHL level blockers, can someone give me something to compare them to? Everyone keeps saying they are dangerous but I have no point of reference
TheStuffle
Fair.

I hope everyone stops attending nhl games, as a fan watching them break up that fight broke my heart. Maybe another league will emerge like the XFL that gives the fans the game they actually wanna see

Should have let them fight.

I would have liked the announcement to actually explain what it was about his actions that made them decide to give a 2 game suspension instead of the automatic 1 game that comes with the whole blocker punch match penalty. Not saying it’s not warranted but I’d like to know what they look at to decide, or at least what they say they instead of “the wheel said 2 games”

they seemed pretty reluctant to stand up for their goalie. feels like other teams don’t play that shit but we mind a bit less. lol

He did his part. For thr tank!!

Meh, not like it matters this year anyway. Anyone else going to watch them sleep walk through the next couple games?

Incidental? Didn’t I just get chiding because he admitted to doing it on purpose? The fuck, NHL? He instigated that. Binner isn’t right but that shit was also wrong

See the thing I don’t get is everyone going, « FLEURY WOULD HAVE KICKED BINNINGTON’S ASS!!! »
And we know this, what, based on… their extensive fighting histories?
Lol these people can’t separate what they *want* to see happen from the fact that we have know way of knowing how that fight would have gone.
They’re both 6’2″, and it’s true that Fleury has about 15 pounds on Binnington, but like, they also have pads on and are on ice lol. The best thing you can say about it for sure is that it would have been entertaining. But claiming Fleury would have rocked him? You don’t know that at all, dude lol.

He lost the equivalent of 65k, ouch.

Abd of course, Hartman gets away scot free, EVEN THOUGH he admitted to reporters that he did it on purpose. Apparently now you can step on the largely unprotected back of a goalie’s leg with a skate after the whistle, and that’s all totally fine with the NHL. Good to know, dicks.

I have zero problem with Binny’s pen last night or with the suspension, though I do find it hilarious they think this was worth two games. The real problem is Hartman gets away scot free for an admitted attempt to injure, on a prone player who did not see him, and after the whistle. How the fuck does that not get AT LEAST the same punishments as Binny?

About one game less than I expected tbh

No matter where you fall this is a win/win.
If you think he’s overrated and immature, you get 2 games without him
If you think he’s really good, then this helps the tank!
