How many games will Princess Dion get for his hit from behind? (NHL)?

Haiger- I think you misread the question. It was not "What is Haiger's IQ?" ;) Only a fine is possible I suppose. I think that there was no penalty hurts his cause. (didn't one user state yesterday that a certain hit was "referred to supplemental discipline because he received a penalty...the irony). I am guessing he gets 2-3 games.

Tom- Not only will I read it, I will post it-

50.3 Major Penalty - The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the severity of the infraction, to a player guilty of kneeing an opponent.

You stated in relation to Neal's hit "because there was a kneeing call it can be referred for supplemental discipline." I corrected you in stating that there does not need to be a penalty for supplemental discipline. Rule 50.3 doesn't change that fact...and ironically, the day you state it is the same day a Leaf faces supplemental discipline for a play with no penalty. Hmmm.

Also...that there was no call hurts him....not help him. LMAO Player Safety views the non call as missed and the team therefore did not suffer from the action. Sheesh

Oh poor Tommy....you are scrambling. Any infraction, penalized or not has the possibility of a suspension...and is reviewable by the league. It can occur when no call is made, when a minor is called or if a major is called.....so to say "it is referable to supplemental discipline" is nonsense...any questionable infraction applies.

Any physical infraction can be deemed intent to injure- Roughing, kneeing, slew footing, boarding, clipping, charging, fighting and is reviewable.

Any stick infraction can be deemed reviewable- Highsticking, butt ending, spearing, slashing cross checking

Even hooking can be deemed intent to injure and be "referred to the league for supplemental discipline."

Keep squirming....keep digging
