Let's play Brendan Shannahan!?

Tootoo, suspension or no? I think not, like to hear you're opinion and why though.

    In NO WAY should Tootoo be suspened. I hate Jordan Tootoo as a hockey player, hate hate hate. But there is no way he should be suspended. Ehroff forced (with his angle not so much his hands, but his hands did help) Tootoo into Miller. Tootoo didn't lunge at Miller as people are saying, he jumped to try and get out of the way. It's a knee jerk reaction, you jump to get out of the way. This is a much clearer cut decision than Lucic, NO WAY should Tootoo be suspended. It's a joke. If anyone should be suspended it should be one of the Sabres for all hounding Tootoo. Again, if that happens, it's a joke.

    In my opinion the people being suspended should be the Sabres announcers. I hate those people as announcers. As homer as they are, they would fit right in the hockey section nicely. The way they announced the situatuation proved it.

    I wouldn't say Erhoff "pushed" Tootoo, but he did seem to kind of guide him in a way that he didn't have an angle to go away from Miller and behind the net. I don't know what that jump was for though. It way have been an attempt to avoid, but it made the collision worse. I do not think this was intentional. Tootoo isn't the dirty player he used to be. If Lucic didn't get a suspension, i don't see how this could. If it does, 2 games max

    i does not say Erhoff "pushed" Tootoo, yet he did seem to form of coaching manual him in a manner that he did no longer have an attitude to bypass a approaches flung from Miller and at the back of the internet. i don't be responsive to what that bounce become for despite if. It way have been an attempt to stay faraway from, even however if it made the collision worse. i do no longer think of of this become intentional. Tootoo isn't the grimy participant he replaced into as quickly as. If Lucic did no longer get a suspension, i do no longer see how this would. If it does, 2 video games max

    He beelined for Miller at full speed, he wasn't trying to score. Erhoff tried to get him away but he was going to fast he couldn't stop him. Tootoo left his feet when he got to Miller and made no attempt to stop therefore I give him a suspension.

    Tootoo could have and should have avoided the hit. Suspension.

    What a normal man (EDIT: like colin campbell) would say: "Wow! He just jumped right into him. Give him 5 games, especially because of his rep and the fact that Miller just returned from whiplash and a slight concussion"

    What Shannahan will say: "Well I didn't see the hit, so I'll watch on youtube. (watched the video) Gee, that was pretty dirty. I should give him a few games and maybe a fi.. WAIT WHAT IS THAT?!?! AN ADD FOR A BARBIE PLAY SET!?! I'LL GET ONE FOR MY OFFICE!!! (click and buy. He goes back to the video) why was I watching this? Whatever. I will just pretend it didn't happen and buy some additional outfits with for the dolls with all the extra money I get from this job. Thanks Gary Bettman!"

    I think he should get a suspension. He let go of the puck and lunged at Miller. He had no effort to at least slow up a little.

    How many times are guys going be be allowed to take out goaltenders before something is done? He should get 2 games minimum. Players need to know that hitting goalies is not ok.

    Yes, he didn't avoid it and Miller already has gotten a concussion. Not to mention, you're not supposed to hit goalies
