will crosby be suspended after the all star game?

The rule has been changed this year. Players are not being forced to attend the All Star game. New rules for the new format.

If Crosby is injured I don't care if he's there or not. If I recall neither Datsyuk or Lidstrom were injured or had something else going on, just didn't want to go. As for Iginla I can see his viewpoint. I was fired for not going to work (despite asking for it off) to be with my grandma who died two weeks later. I'd do it again and have no problem with Iginla spending time with an ailing Grandmother. Once someone dies you cannot go back in time to spend time with them, you're given on shot, some people on here might do well to remember that.

Crosby has many more all-star games to attend and Iginla has attended quite a lot, so I give them a break for their situations.

Yeah, they should suspend him AND ZETTERBERG too......doh, that should hush the whining. Not to mention that you have a clueless recollection of the events......Datsyuk and Lidstrom played in the preceding game in 2009......so, the premise was if they were healthy enough to play then and not healthy enough to play in the game then they weren't going to play in the game following.

Even IF the rule were still in place, it wouldn't apply because Crosby is missing time! Zetterberg on the other hand.......should be suspended for not having a valid reason to skip out since he is playing their last game. Not giving back to the fans who support him? What a douche.

As for you, stop being a jilted little p*ssie.

exciting, i might ought to agree wholeheartedly. Bettman and the NHL are over reacting right here. specific, you have allowed the followers to take part and choose who they decide for to work out which makes for somewhat of a "dedication" besides the shown fact that do those self same followers or Bettman decide for to work out a famous individual participant pass away the ASG using a similar harm or after worrying it greater? What have been to ensue if that participant comes out of the AS weekend no longer able to end the season because of the fact he replaced into compelled to take part in the different case be suspended for a interest relatively stepping into banged up? The followers won't omit them as much as they might omit them for the 2nd a million/2 of the season. thus, i do no longer think of absolutely everyone is going to omit Datsyuk or Lidstrom no longer enjoying, or "waving" and so on, besides, they play greater hockey than possibly ninety% of the NHL do between TOI and the playoff runs the Wings have had over the final few years, so there are lots of opps to ascertain those adult males out. Detroit is nicely represented having the previous season Cup prevailing education team in the back of the bench. Babcock is a very good ambassador for his team and the corporate. remember Sydney is there for the acceptance and to work out kinfolk and so on and acquaintances. If something, effective the corporate a honest sum of money, no longer the participant and be somewhat greater lenient in direction of participant injuries and alternatives. Or the NHL might desire to take the money the participant gets for being an All famous individual. Q-2......i does no longer eliminate the ASG or various the festivities all at the same time, yet i might unquestionably look into revamping the interest, selection technique/fan balloting, and the regulations for gamers who're banged, injured, no longer wanting to take part and so on. lower back Bettman showing his loss of judgment and or know-how. Sid's on the spot kinfolk may well be there to work out him and maximum from Canada stay "up there" to me.

He is still concussed and hasn't played in the past 8 games so why would he get suspend for a injury? Makes no sense at all, and is not gonna happen.

Well, Crosby has a very good reason for not going: He has a concussion. Until he is symptom free for a week (I think), the doctors are not going to allow him to play, so there's really no point in him going to Raleigh.

well crosby is injured so they can't really suspend him. the NHL has also said that they will put no pressure on them to return in time to play for the ASG. they said they might give some of the rookies a chance to play in the ASG depending on the super skills. so far there have been a few replacements: danny briere, martin havlat, keith yandle.

He won't be suspended, he's out with a concussion, so the claim is that travel would be hinder his recovery. That's enough of a reason for the NHL to give him a free pass. That, and he's their golden boy.

Crosby is missing All-Star weekend due to an injury that took place during a game. As such, no disciplinary action is required or warranted.

this is ridiculous, crosby cant go out because of the injury, that would hinder his recovery. NOW iggy's grampa died last year, his grama is in her 90's and ailing. He wants to spend time with her incase she dies soon, what if he went to the all star game and his grama died that day? he would be able to see her again if he went. So u don't have to be a stuck up jerk.
