Kubina to sit for 3

[The Q stache]

I'm pretty surprised he got this many games.

 

[puckhead]

after the chara free-pass, that's pretty fucking surprising.

The wheel of justice keeps on turning.

It was a head shot... An elbow to the head is showing clear intent to injure the players head.

I only saw the replay once... looked like a grazing blow, without too much behind it.
could be wrong, but that's my take.

2 min for elbowing.

I actually didnt see it, just various reports I read.

 

[Cricket]

Of course. Let Chara off. So you have to make an example out of someone else. There was nothing behind the hit.

Only thing I could find with a video in it. But the only thing Kubina is guilty of is having his arm to high.

its the Lightnings fault. They should have a Campbell on their roster.

...

Yeah. His arm is too high. It's the height of Bolland's head. So it's a headshot.

If Bolland's head had been up it wouldn't of been. They didn't even call anything when it happened. Yes he hit his head. I'm not saying he didn't. But the only reason he gets put out for 3 games is because of all the shit over the last headshot. So yeah I'm gonna be a little pissed.

A Llama eh?

Wow, that almost makes me think there's some consistency to the suspension process.

I wouldn't go *that* far! I like to follow the flow-chart myself.

But it's not like it's unheard of that a player gets a suspension for a hit to the head. I'ts not a B.C/A.D. situation (Before Chara, After zDDDDeno?).

Did any of those get called on the ice? It still smacks of the NHL trying to back track a bit. If he has to sit out a game or two fine. But three seems like a bit much given the full incident. And honestly not matter how many examples you show me. It's still going to seem like that in my mind.
