Pens draft pick suspended for 20 games

[dash]

Here's the hit...Tom Kuhnhackl nails Ryan Murphy.

 

[evolver115]

what an idiot. Left his skates, too.

 

[Darkstone42]

He could have delivered an impressive hit without leaving his feet, knocked the guy back and down without seriously hurting him. Contact would have been in the chest instead of the head.

I guess he got excited?

Ryan Murphy was the Hurricanes 1st round pick.

Looked just like Downie on McCammond.

What a Kuhnhackl-head

He Downie'd the shit out of him.




(I still think the league came down too hard on him after quite a few years now)

Ryan Murphy was the Hurricanes 1st round pick.

He's only 18 years old.

Maybe, just maybe....this guy was doing the hockey world a favor? I say no suspension since he was acting for the greater good.

Am I the only one who thinks 20 games was a little excessive here

No but you gotta remember that the OHL is run by a moron.

Last year they suspended someone for the entire season.
The OHL is trying to get young kids to play for them. The kids have other choices. The OHL is saying, "Hey moms out there. We will try to protect your kid."

I respect their stance.
These young players have got to realize that these hits-lining him up,and leaving his feet-won't be tolerated.

I don't know what his history was,so if he had prior incidents 20 games is fair.

IMO he should get no less than 10 games.

He should lace them up better next time.

If he's a 1st time offender then yes. If he has a suspension or 2 under his belt for dirty hits then I say no.

I kinda like their approach actually.

I think the only way this kinda crap changes at the NHL level is if the kids are beaten over the head with it (no pun intended) all the way up through the juniors and minors.
