Possible Lupul suspension

[Stronger Than All]

oh come on, 1 was more than enough!

Thought it would be 1, oh well.

2 games.

@JLupul suspended two games for hit to Victor Hedman.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Maybe a little harsh given he had no priors, still I can't really complain.

Shanahan forgot to add "and since i'm a former Ranger, I'm trying to help my boys make the playoffs by hurting the Leafs a bit"

Thanks for the link!  I would have liked to see clips of similar hits that received similar suspensions.

The angle they show in that video makes it more clear that he was leaving his feet as he made the check, which does make it worse than I thought from the clips they aired during the game.  Still, I think 1 would have sufficed.

garbage. Cook puts someone for the rest the season and get nothing. load of BS

Hei Shanny, where have you been when Gionta hit Reimer?

 

[Bullfrog]

I was expecting only one game given the lack of injury and prior history. Disappointed, but head shots are definitely dangerous. Still don't think he meant to do it though.

2 games is exactly what he deserved IMO. That's a career threatening hit.

He deserved a fine or 1 game suspension at the most. 2 games is a little too much for that hit and his history.

Lupul was playing like a man possessed the last 2 games.

Hope he brings that same fire on the second game of the back to backs vs Boston!! Without Lups, I think we can kiss the first game goodbye.

With all due respect, that is some exaggeration and a bit too much.  Hedman had his head down and got nailed.  Keep your head up and your stick on the ice at all times....the two basic rules coaches tell kids from day 1.  Didn't Hedman get nailed in the past because he had his head down?

I forgot to tell you, since you didn't think he'd get any games I made a bet between us and now you have to streak during the Jays home opener.
