Flames Incoming Backlund suspension? [Edit: Probably not]

Unless I am much mistaken, Backlund will get a suspension for throwing his stick out of play. Mats Sundin was suspended for a similar play in 2004.

And you see what Backlund did as similar???

One was a dangerous projectile, the other. . . a choking hazard??

Well, it's fairly black-and-white.



That was a one-game suspension. It's automatic.

Not thread worthy. It would be thread worthy following a suspension.

Wouldn't he get a game misconduct if the refs deemed it was dangerous. I think the 10 min misconduct is all he'll get from it.

If what you say was true, every player who slides his stick over the glass after being named a game star would be suspended.

You got a thread out of it, so bully for you, but continuing to link the two plays is ridiculous.

Haha, get over yourself.

I figured I'd ask a question. If such self-indulgence on my part is so unacceptable, then quite frankly I might as well just ask to be banned.

Should you change the title to incoming scorpion suspension?

What’s with all the vitriol guys. It’s a fair question and disagreement is fair as well.

Get over yourself. The Scorpion racing to start another thread for attention. Nothing new here.

FWIW i appreciate the thread. Wasn't able to watch the game just check up on the PBP, asked about the backlund misconduct in the GT thread but it was overlooked. Anybody have video of backlund's stick toss? I'm gathering his stick broke and he tossed the debris?

Oh, please.

Outside of game-related threads, I really don't make many threads anymore. Also, why is there a stigma against making threads? Why are we policing the asking of questions as "begging for attention"? I honestly couldn't care less, and it's posts like yours that only serve to force me to respond and defend myself and in turn, raise my posting count -- which you pretend to be offended by.

I'm surprised you did't start a new thread to defend yourself. Small steps here that's all we are asking for. Good job.

No need to keep bullying Scorpion. Yeah maybe this thread could have been avoided but the constant pushing and kicking him down is getting a bit much. This is a internet forum and we can easily just skip the click on it. There is a reason why some of our long time posters have stopped posting here, this is one of those reasons.

I'm not going to feed you any more after this. I don't know what I did to offend you or make you so snippy but whatever it was, I sincerely apologize. I suggest you put me on ignore if I bother you that much.

Anyway, mods, let's wrap up this thread, please. Little constructive has come out of it and I doubt that'll change

Constant pushing and kicking with one post? Are you kidding?
