The NFL took action on the throat slash for a number of reasons and one of them was worries that the gesture had gang connections.
The NHL has precedent so I expect Kadri to get a game.
Kadri looked like a fool at the end of the day. Let your actions do the talking. Hit or fight Gio. Instead he acts like a clown and then looks like a fool trying to throw the body around.
I love how cheeky Gio is, anytime he's targeted ala Brown ala Kadri good times are to be had... such a troll I love it.

I actually like Kadri, but it was a stupid thing to do. It looked like he was also saying; "You're ####ing done!" while he was doing it, which I think makes it even worse.

A player was suspended a home opener for doing the throat slash gesture in the preseason (albeit in 2010). I think the precedent is set. Hell, McGrattan got 10 mins for the salute.
The precedent is 20 games and then an arbitrator just figures out something fair.
There was once a poster named Bertuzzied who made a habit of constantly whining about his pet obsessions in every thread he could manage, even though his obsession had no relationship with the actual thread topic.

He was eventually, and mercifully, banned.
I look forward to the day history repeats itself.
Making the same bad joke twice =/= constantly whining about pet obsessions.
Based on your posts I've seen since I've been here, I'll consider annoying you a small victory.
Do the petulant thing to a poster who cares, thx.

I like how Kypreos goes on about how the throat slash gesture has been and is a suspendable offence, but he doesn't think Nazzy will or should get suspended. LOL.
I was more upset when the fan on the Oblivious Cam gave it the finger.
Yup, and the complete double standard surrounding it. Had I made the same gesture or anyone else in the 20-35 age range, we would have been asked to leave the building. The guy should have been removed from the building, but because he's an older man or sits in the lower bowl nothing comes of it.
