Capitals D Green Suspended 3 Games

[RiverDogs]

i was at the game and that was a clear elbow to the face. frolik stumbled off the ice after that one. florida returned the favor a bit later when green took the worst of a collision.

I'm well known around here for extreme homerism. Great call on your part

Brooks Laich


Mike Knuble

So two Caps players agree with the suspension, FatFuk Boudreau is "livid", and Green doesn't even think he deserved a penalty. I think I'll go with Knuble and Laich on this one. It was a stupid move, and easily could've put the NHL under the spotlight again, especially after the Cormier fiasco. Green should've got at least 5 IMO.

Well then you know that its legal, why would there be a penalty at all. You cross the middle with your head down you going to get hit. We seen it over and over. Players don't need to give that space up, but puck carries should be smarter and carry more responsibility for putting themselves in vulnerable situations.

It should be as simple as if you break this rule u get this many games, and if you do it again the suspension gets longer, they just make up amounts of games guys deserve based on there rep pretty much. im actually surprised they suspended green myself. H3ll it shocked me when they suspended ovechkin earlier in the yr. Im waiting to see if crosby will ever get suspended for fisting someones ass in a scrum

No ****ing ****! The NHL and Colin Campbell are (is) a ****ing mess ... and that's why it's a distant #4 in pro sports! The best sport is becoming the biggest joke!

Seeing as OV would be a repeat offender, maybe he wouldn't be getting off completely free of penalty, maybe not three games but maybe a suspension.

I was actually surprised that there was a suspension and that it came so quickly.
