[OOT] Sep. 29, wrapping up the preseason

[getbak]

If Byfuglien decides to retire, the league should hire him as a linesman to work every Sharks game.

It's either 3 or 10 games. It's not 20 because there's no intent to injure. It's 3 if they believe he was trying to get free immediately following an altercation but I don't think they'll buy that.

This looks like a 10 game suspension to me.

Thread should be renamed for clarity since we’re only talking about 1 game and the incidents are important enough to talk about on their own.


Dell should be suspended imo. Indefensible. He’s moving away from his crease when he elbows Stone. There’s no excuse. It’s clear and obvious interference. That’s a crazy dangerous play. He’s far outside of his crease, sticks out his elbow and hits a defenceless player who, at that speed, could easily suffer a serious injury going into the boards that fast.

Kane should get 10. He’s a garbage player and always has been. He likes to whine and cry foul but really he’s just a big mouthed scumbag. I hope he comes out and says something really crazy and gets suspended long term.

This is CalgaryPuck, this thread should be titled "2009 Draft: The Atlanta Thrashers select Evander Kane 4th overall" and of course be a bump of a 10 year old post

The box score has Kane's penalty as a misconduct, not a game misconduct. He was penalized under rule 39 for abuse of officials, not rule 40 for physical abuse of officials.

The league might lighten his wallet by a grand or two, but he won't be suspended.

[bubbsy]

Awesome, hope he has to sit a few games. I'm so sick of the sharks. Go suck for a decade already...

I think slow motion tricks some people. Dell doesn’t elbow at all imo. He braces himself and the contact forces his arm up. 2 mins for interference if anything.

The Kane one is interesting. You just can’t be shoving or slashing officials. Obviously he wasn’t trying to slash him. The push was clearly intentional.

Then again, Dreger tweets this:

So now box scores and "insiders" are disagreeing with each other on what penalty Kane actually got.

[868904]

Dell is an idiot. There was no reason for him to put his shoulder into Stone. He easily could have avoided contact if he returned to his net as Stone was expecting. We all know this is not out of Dell's character. Dude is asking for a beating. Fleury seems to think he likes to fight, maybe the two of them can back up their talk.

As for Kane, man that guy has some serious issues. He's saying the linesman went way out of his way to tackle him from behind. The linesman was just holding him and they lost balance and fell. What is wrong with this guy?

Yeah, I don’t see any elbow by Dell there. Kane rubs against Dell’s arm, which pulls Dell’s arm back.

I didn't see an elbow either. If anything Stone ran into Dell. Guess he forgot how to skate.
