Phaneuf to have disciplinary hearing (2 game suspension)

[nutman]

Is seidenberg getting any games for his illegal check to the head that knocked D'Amigo out of the game? No.
Why should Phaneuf.
This is exactly what?s wrong with the League

I don't get why this is being passed by. Are the press just out for leaf blood or what. If Deon get any games so should Sidenberg.

He's Neon Deon they see his actions are brighter.

In line with Ashton's suspension.

Don't really have a problem with it.  These kind of hits need to be removed from the game.

This is the 5th suspension of a Leafs player this year.  Clarkson (10 games), Kessel ("3" games), Kadri (3 games), Ashton (2 games), Phaneuf (2 games).

Sounds about right. Takes him out the back to back games against LA and St Louis, which, even with Phaneuf, were long shots for the Leafs to win with the way they've played the past 6 weeks.

Seems like the punishment fits the crime here.

Agreed so why did Sodenberg not get at least two????

Where my problem with the suspension comes in is things like this:

Steve Ott - October 12, 2013 - 2 minutes for boarding, no suspension

Just be consistent with it and get the hits out of the game.

good foresight by Nonis in calling up Liles

He's busy working on Ocean's 14.

 

[gunnar36]

I hope this means that Gardiner will finally get some 1st PP unit time

Well, based on practice today, it looks like Phaneuf's suspension means Fraser gets back into the lineup, while Rielly . . . does not.

Smoke and mirrors from Carlyle??

Good thing we kept him up this year...

I have no issue with the suspension - but for some reason this came to mind - no suspension. I know, different era, this isn't comparable, but if there's one thing the NHL is consistent with is it's inconsistency.

Prediction: 2 games

Me and Shanny are tight.

On one hand, this isn't very good news. On the other, it may cause Nonis to really see the value in Phaneuf (once he's out of the line-up) and either sign the guy soon, or find another D-man like him, or my preference?..BOTH.

 

[Corn Flake]

Seidenberg elbow to D'Amigo's head.. nothing.  This hit: two games.

Bullshorts.

I think they're quite sure of his value to the team.
