Duncan Keith Suspension Thread ***Keith Gets 5 Game Suspension***

[Capt. Serious]

Bullshit? Take off the homer glasses.

He elbowed a fucking guy without the puck.

Keith got what he deserved.

No apparent injury to Jamie Benn

I wonder if past cases show this trend of: Injury means at least 3 more games than repeat offense.

I say 3 because if Sedin showed no injury sign giving Keith 3 games would be absurd.

So did Shane Doan. So did Pavel Kubina. Neither one got five and the first guy is a repeat offender.

It's not being a homer, the fucking word is "consistency."

 

[DMelt36]

Keith getting 5 games would not be an issue if two very similar incidents hadn't received a smaller penalty.

 

[nwfisch]

I'm good with five games. That play has absolutely no place in the NHL. There were so many things wrong with that elbow.

And Sedin's hit was OK?

your a homer if you don't agree with alot of people here. lol

I can think of two.

Exactly --- I don't buy that Sedin's shoulder to the head shot from a guy not involved in the play any longer was "follow through" or anything other than a chickenshit dirty play by Konroyd's monkey.

If you use that precendent a guy trying to but end a guy that the refs miss (and it is pretty easy for that to happen), but misses -gets nothing -even though it is not only illegal, cheap, and an intentional attempt to injure.

Don't buy it? I suggest next time you are suited up, choke up a hair on your stick, skate along the boards and lean into it making a slight motion -and you'd be amazed about the sound you can make ... which if making contact with a body is a pretty serious and dangerous situation.

I'm saying Sedin is a dirty little ****, who got what he deserved; and we'll see if Konroyd's monkey goes twisting any more tails by delivering cheap shots when his loser ass can't catch up with a play that just headed up ice leaving him stuck deep in the offensive zone.

Or in other words... giving a cheap shot well behind the play, doesn't count as a backcheck.

Any

Look Brandon Shanahan played for the Dead Wings.

He also played for the Blues, the Rangers and the Devils... although I am unclear about relevance other than he never played for the Hawks.

I do think it is entirely possible to be an inconsistent dolt without it being tied to any particular team.

It is sort of like amateur hour there ... they ought to maybe hire someone with a real legal background to do that job, or an ex, respected on ice official -it might actually work better for them (the league).

---

This just occured to me --- um, look Joe ... apparently this is turning into remdial officiating class now --- elbowing is illegal regardless of if the elbower elbowed the elbowee while said elbowee was in possession of the puck or not.

It sounds like you are getting the pick, and/or interference rules confused with... well, elbowing... which is its own self-contained offense.

you are way off course in your opinion. There are much worse plays that are deliberate/not deliberate from repeat offenders that dont get the same punishment, they get less. Want the list?

 

[HawkWriter]

And Sedin's hit was OK?

Did I ever say that?

Sedin's was no where close to as bad as Keith's. Not even close.

 

[DewsSox79]

Wrong! did you watch the replay of both hits that i posted. to say "not even close" is we todd did. the keith one might be worse but not as how you stated it.

Sedin's was no where close to as bad as Keith's. Not even close.

I don't know. That's why I asked the question.

You still didn't answer my question.

So I'll ask it again, was Sedin's hit OK?

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

:lol: 5 games for a first time offender. Either Shanahan felt like being a tough guy today and or he folded from the immense pressure given out by the Canadian media. I'm leaning heavily on option 2.


Like everyone keeps saying... Doan gets 3. Why? Because he plays on an NHL OWNED that is scrapping for a desperately needed playoff birth. That is exactly why.

Complete conspiracy theory bullshit? Yeah.

Completely unbelievable situation? Nah.

 

[HawkWriter]

Wrong! did you watch the replay of both hits that i posted. to say "not even close" is we todd did. the keith one might be worse but not as how you stated it.

Keith had clear intent, Sedin did not.
Keith's first point of contact was the head, Sedin's was not.
Keith led w/ the elbow, Sedin did not.
Keth hit Sedin when the puck wasn't in play for Sedin, Sedin hit Keith after his pass.

There are so many more things wrong w/ Keith's hit than Sedin's.

Go ahead and post other hits from this year if you want, but Keith deserved this one from Shanahan.

I've given my opinion several times in this thread on Sedin's hit.

Head contact and I had him getting 1 game at most but probably nothing. Not close to Keith's hit.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

And I'll say it again- the puck is up in the air and Sedin is watching it. Keith isn't watching it because he is LOCKED IN on dropping Sedin.

THAT PLAY HAPPENS and it is often a very awkward collision given the planted, still nature of the offender and the lack of real speed and momentum by the defender. It's a weird hit where the defender often bounces off the planted offender. Arms can get up as the defender is following through but meeting a lot of resistance.

My point- that it is still a hockey play even if someone doesn't have the puck. Usually it happens and the offender is reaching up for the puck, but again- Keith doesn't know where the puck is because he's focused completely on the hit while Sedin is tracking an airborn puck.

Yes, it's a bad play by Keith but it's not out and out random thuggery. He tried to disguise it in a typical hockey hit and it went wrong.

5 games my ass.

Bull.

Rivalry game with no intent to hit?

Right.

 

[HawkWriter]

Bull.

Rivalry game with no intent to hit?

Right.

So Sedin had clear intent? Common.

You can say Keith did but not Sedin.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Keth hit Sedin when the puck wasn't in play for Sedin, Sedin hit Keith after his pass.

I just addressed this in my last post.

Keith is assuming the puck is in play for Sedin. Sedin stopped and is looking up at an airborn puck. As soon as Keith saw Sedin stop... Keith put his head down and charged Sedin.

Keith's INTENT was to level Sedin as he's attempting to play an airborn puck. A play that does happen.




And for the record- I don't give a **** about Sedin's little hit on Keith.
