Seriously, Shanny is on crack. I can't take him seriously. Sure, I understand why he's suspended, but 3 games? Three. Games. Engo has zero history. The things that haven't even been reviewed in comparison to this one pisses me off. This is two games too long.

If it because a 3 game average for first time offenders, I'm fine with it. It was a dirty hit, I just don't want to see anything similar later this year get less.

How many guys have gotten fines this year because it was their first offense? Plenty. 3 games is a hefty suspension. What's the highest number suspension this year?

Also, the video itself says it took Krugers injury into account. Hell, Bortuzzo was elbowed by Rinaldo, got injured, and they didn't even review it.

I'm not directly disagreeing with you. What I'm saying is that I'm for heavier penalties, so I'm fine with this (even though he's a Penguin). I'm not fine with the lighter penalties, such as fines with no games missed.

Well Max got 3 for his first offense so its not unprecedented. I think most people would think this hit was worse with the leaving the feet and all.

Yeah. When it comes down to it, my opinions on suspensions are based on the precedence set by other offenses. And the precedence has sucked this year, just like the past few years.

Overall I certainly agree with you that Shanahan is on crack and nor can I take him seriously.

Word. I actually would like to see a 2 or 3 game minimum for all offenses. If it's worse, say leaving ones feet and such, then add more on.

I agree...I have no issue with this for Engelland but the one gamers that went out to a few so far with him even stating prior offenses while giving them the one game kinda makes him seem less credible.

And Kronwall gets no punishment for his hit on Kesler. Different hits, but I'd say Kronwall left his feet to the same degree that Engo did:

Apparently Engelland forgot to attend the Milan Lucic Signature Series Shanaban Prep Course before his hearing.

I thought that Engelland deserved a suspension for this. Was think he'd get 2. This seems a bit steep, but it was definitely a worse hit than Patches's hit.

Who really knows anymore.

LOLZ!

This happened last nite, and I don't believe I've heard anything remotely close from the media horde that matches their outrage from Engelland's hit.

Why is that?

Orpik: "There have just been so many hits that we don't see get punished that you think maybe some things are allowed."
And this is the biggest issue with consistency.
