First, Chicago Defenseman Duncan Keith's dirty slash on Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle is unacceptable. I know that the Blackhawks fans are going to disagree with me, but there's no excusing that dirty slash. That's an intent to injure. Nothing Coyle did justifies being slashed like that, Keith could have severely injured Coyle with that gutless act.
Hopefully, the NHL will hand down a harsh sentence. Keith should receive at least a five-game suspension. However, because Keith is a Blackhawk and a star player, he will probably get a one-game suspension if we're lucky. If I was the head of Department of Players Safety, it would be at least a 10-game suspension. This is a bush league act and there's no excuse for this.
Apparently, Patrick Kane can't fight is own battles. First, the hit by Matt Dumba on Kane was a clean, hard, legal hit. (You can take a look for yourself). Nice Dumba beat Andrew Shaw, it was a good fight.
i agree... minimum 10 games or its just a vacation for keith before the playoffs. Come on NHL... player safety high on your list? or just bullshit?
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. He has a pattern of dirty play. Ten games MINIMUM. Any less and the NHL might as well pack up this pretense of hearings and suspensions and admit that certain teams and players are untouchable. I love hockey, but this league is out to lunch!

DeleteI wondering how many games they actually give him. They haven't even had a hearing yet.
