suspended 2 games.
Checking from Behind – A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed.
Fines and Suspensions - Any player who incurs a total of two (2) game misconducts under Rule 41 and/or Rule 43, in either the Regular season or Play-offs, shall be suspended automatically for the next game of his team. For each subsequent game misconduct penalty the automatic suspension shall be increased by one game.
If deemed appropriate, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).
While it was a weak hit at best, Carcillo still gave him that little shove by the boards that caused the hit. Shanny is staying true and stuck to his guns so the 2 gamer doesn't surprise me.
It sucks as I have a feeling Columbus is going to be a chippy game, but what are you going to do...
Your going to play the guy that has a hard time skating backwards.
Tonights wiz's 3rd game.
After last night I'd sit Odonnel and play Lepisto.
I think Lepisto and Olesz should both play tonight.
Campbell broke his collar bone though, and Ovy shoved him harder. To me, this was just a small bump where both players lost an edge... I can see why Shanny would hand out some sort of disciplinary action, but if it were me, I would have let it slide.
