Zach6668 513 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 How does a meathead who shouldn't be in the league acting like a meathead mean that Mario is owed an apology ?Because he said the league should have given out harsher suspensions. He clearly didn't learn his lesson. Maybe 20 games would have taught him something. I guess we'll see after the hearing tomorrow.As I've explained a million times, people got on Mario because he employs Cooke, which is completely irrelevant to what his main point was, which was clearly correct, no matter what your personal opinion of Cooke might be.

If Gillies isn't suspended for the season I will become embarrassed to watch the NHL. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I missed the comments from Capuano and Gilles - how far did they put their feet in their mouths this time? Any word whether Snow is still proud of his team? Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That hit was pretty ugly...with the right amount of force he could have paralyzed Clutterbuck. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 From the coach, according to the NY Post:“I didn’t think [Clutterbuck’s] back was totally turned,” Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. “It’s obviously the league’s discretion for those situations.”From Gillies:“I just went over and finished my hit,” Gillies said. “I had no intention of hurting him. I’m not sure [about any disciplinary action]. It’s up to the league.” Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Pierre Mcguire and whoever was the announcer on TSN for Wednesday night's leafs/pens game talked about what the "A" on cooke's jersey really stood for.Either way we should be hearing pretty soon about the Gillies stuff. Keep in mind the Pens play the Isles again in their 16th game from now. The Pensblog is organizing a group to goto NY for the game. If you saw what how they took over Columbus you'll be interested to see what happens on the island. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not sure [about any disciplinary action]. It’s up to the league.”Is there something in the drinking water that makes everyone having anything to do with the Islanders utterly insane and terrible? And if so, was Moulson already terrible, and so it had the opposite effect?There has been worse hits than that, however this guy is a douchebag, repeat offender that was JUST suspended..Maybe now the Islanders can put an A on him.Agree or disagree, that is some funny shit right there.

serge 904 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm thinking 20.They only have 17 games left, and appropriate penalty would be to suspend him for the rest of the year..Why wont the NHL make a statement finally, anything less than this its a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites

Missing opening day and the first home game will send twice the message of missing the rest of this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I agree that adding a couple of games next year would definitely send a message. It would bring the suspension back to people's attention at the start of next season, and might also affect the Islanders decision on whether Gillies makes the team next season.He should definitely be gone for the rest of this season though. Absolutely no quesiton in my mind.Although, I would have suspended him for the rest of the season after the first incident. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm sure most people read Yahoo already, but interesting insider's perspective on the NHL hearing process. I would've liked to hear a lot more detail on how the actual hearing went, and I disagree with some of what the author says, especially about Simon. Interesting to note the 'insiders' are estimating 5 games for Gilles...http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_dadd...?urn=nhl-329498 Link to post Share on other sites

I've told you before, Serge, I dont really root for teams, although I've always been a leaf and red wing fan. I root for friends to do well, and I have more friends on the leafs than any other team, so I want them to succeed. However, I will always be forced to keep my non-partial viewpoints. I like hockey WAY to much to cloud my vision.... Link to post Share on other sites
