  • Wild vs Habs: Suspensions Coming?


    Guest

    Sure it does.

    So Veilleux stirs the pot, Nick Campoli puts him in a head lock, and in skates White to deliever a couple blows while Veilleux is held down.

    Classy.

    The question is, is this suspension worthy. Honestly, that's doubtful. This happens more often than you would think, and nothing ever comes of it. Is is disgusting? Absolutely. But Shanahan is going to look at it from a player safety perspective, and it just isn't going to rise to that level. I could certainly be wrong, but the league doesn't suspend people for violating "The Code."

    To be sure, if the league wanted to clean up the game, this would be a suspension worthy move. The league doesn't suspend things like this. I cannot think of a single time they have. As much as it is dirty, classless, and disgusting, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I don't see a suspension here, either. Stranger things have happened, but Emelin certainly spins around at the last second. Tough for Peters to stop at that point. That said, it was certainly charging, as Peters had a full head of steam before he laid the hit.

    There you have it, Wilderness. I don't see a suspension for either player. With that conclusion, expect both players to sit for five games, just because I said they wouldn't.

    Think you could write a story like this? Hockey Wilderness wants you to develop your voice, find an audience, and we'll pay you to do it. Just fill out this form.
