Here is the latest act of aggression in the NHL. Duck player Corey Perry received a 4games suspension for this brutal cheap shot. I think the league should have given him a 5-7 game suspension. I personally believe that these types of hits have no place in hockey. You can really light a player up legally without trying to knock their head off with your elbow.
Ducks' Perry suspended for four games --- News NEW YORK: Anaheim Ducks forward Corey Perry has been suspended for four games, without pay, for elbowing Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux during the third period of NHL Game #564 Friday night, the National Hockey League announced.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Perry will forfeit $114,516.12. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
Perry will miss Anaheim's game against Phoenix Jan. 4, the home-and-home series against Los Angeles Jan. 6 and 8, and versus Tampa Bay Jan. 9. He will be eligible to return Jan. 11 against New Jersey.
Ahhh I see, you say sloppy seconds in the media, and you get punished worse.... Makes sense i guess, I wonder what the suspension would be if you pulled a happy gilmore, and took your skate off and started stabbing people???... oh wait that's 2-4 games.. lol
ReplyDelete::snicker:: Yup, clearly that was worse than saying "Sloppy seconds"
ReplyDeleteI'd expect nothing else out of a player on that classless team.
After all, if you remember the opener of last season, Dallas Drake was getting ready to fight Perry. Drake motioned for Perry to take off his helmet and then went to do the same. While Drake was removing his helmet, Perry sucker-punched him. He's a bitch.
