Great context…well done again
What happened
5 games min. 4th suspension 3/4 on the draw when you count this new event. No place in hockey. Maybe it’s time to dissolve his contract, pay him out so he can move on to the wwe where this shit belongs
Context: Hartman and Stutzle take a draw against each other near the end of the second. They tie each other up, Hartman and Stutzle are both off balance and instead of just falling down Hartman put his arm/body weight on Stutzle back and back of his head and just fell on top of/drove Stutzles head into the ice. Stutzle is immediately bleeding out of a cut above his eye, lost his helmet and went down the tunnel. Hartman got a Match penalty for “attempting to injure”. 5 min power play at the start of the third, Stutzle is out there.
My opinion: it’s a play that happens fast. You can tell by Hartman’s reaction that he is surprised that he is getting a match penalty. It is definitely dangerous landing on top of a guys head like that but I don’t think it was as deliberate as some of the other comments here are making it out to be. I bet he gets 3 games. NHLPA want to protect guys heads
Definitely. Unfortunately, we have witnessed that the NHL and the DoPS have been inept and incompetent for years. They show zero reasoning, zero consistency, and zero understanding of how their decisions have consequences.
Guy should keep to rescuing dogs
It needs to be less than 3 games. That was less dirty than that double slew foot that zachary lheureux gave to Spurgeon and he only received a 3 game suspension.
Disgusting POS should get a big suspension, he's a repeat offender. Clean the league up by ejecting him for a significant amount of time.
Miley Cyrus bro
If Pinto can be suspended 40+ games for betting not even against his own team. Then this guy should get a lifetime ban
10 games. Boom!
Intent to injure. Correct punishment.
Players that take actions that could end the career of others should have theirs removed
Yall acting like this aint a contact sport
10 games…seems reasonable. Next time, it's what's left of the season – assuming there are more than 25 games
I love today's technology…it'll be handled on the street, by a fan… forever
