Is there any news at all on Adams?

[postmaster]

I have been looking at TSN throughout the day looking for news on a possible suspension.
I thought all 5 minute majors with a game misconduct were automatically reviewed by Toronto for possible suspension.
I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get one but no news about it at all is surprising to me as well.
I slated him for a 1 game suspension after watching the hit and the time left in the game as a factor.

That hit 20 seconds after the game was effectively put out of reach? Why would you expect the NHL to suspend him?

I am referring to the boarding call under 3 minutes left in the game.
I could have sworn he got a 5 minute major and game misconduct.
I also thought that anytime that penalty is assessed, it is an automatic review for suspension.
Edit: I might have to watch the replay again but I thought it was blindside and I thought I saw contact to the head.

I was being sarcastic.

yeah he did get 5 and the game misconduct but it really wasn't that bad. Hossa's was worse.

 

[scottflyers88]

no hossa's just had a worse result. hossa barely pushed the guy. adams cleary boarded him hard.

he is a penguins player though so i guess he will not be suspended like gonchar and the clutterbuck thing.

The box score shows a 10-min misconduct not a game misconduct. So if the rule is all game misconducts then it doesnt apply here.

The box score I looked at read like this:
Craig Adams: 5 Minute Major for Checking from Behind Marc-Andre Bergeron
Craig Adams: 10 Minute Game Misconduct

I thought we were supposed to leave all the paranoid conspiracy theories at the other place?...

Not sure if the link works but it says no futher action is needed.

I guess some Flyer fans can't leave the trolling behind. Why not take these messages back to the swamp

not saying it wasn't a penalty but it wasn't malicious at all. It looks he thought bergeron was going to turn more. He even probably hit him from the side more than the back. It was definately a lil wreckless but I can see that suspension worthy

Ponikarovsky was suspended right at the end of the regular season.

With any luck....Ponikarsvsky will be suspended for the rest of the play-offs....I can't beieve I was excited when the Pens picked him up at the dead line....I hope I'm wrong about him...I really do...

I still like the guy. Sure he hasn't done too much but I think he will can finish when he gets the chance to.

Poni is a former Leaf (that taint takes a long time to shake off)

/Stajan, Hagman, Mayers, White...I know of what I speak ;-(

 

[Destroydacre]

If Adams had killed Bergeron, we probably would see a 1 game suspension. Campbell has already proven that a dirty and dangerous hit will not bring a suspension. Where's that damn suspension flowchart when you need it?! :p

Oh...I see, it's "trolling" when A Flyers fan has an opinion about a subject that isn't about the Flyers.

Gotcha!

So the claim that Bettman is helping the Pens is not a troll move? Are you serious...
