@Oilerator Bro, never argue with a Habs fan. They are the worst in the league. It was perfectly OK when Ponikarovsky kneed Smid earlier in the game. No call. We finally get a player for the first time in years who's going to start dishing out punishment for jerks like Ponikarovsky who start taking liberties on our young players and the league starts going apeshit,. But Letangs face getting smashed was worth only 3 games. Fuck you NHL.

@MontrealHooli Really? And what is that clown Pacioretty, a clean player? He got all of 3 games for smashing a guys face + a concussion. Can you explain how this hit even registers since the player hit didn't even miss a shift? The NHL is basically saying first offenders can smash faces and decapitate players but repeat offenders get 8 games for a pussy hit. Joke!

@porksniffer AGREEED !!!!

@letmepointout I agree with oilerator....

[Oilerator]

@letmepointout i wouldnt say he "jumped" but still this suspension would only be for about 3 games max, but since its his second time they gave him 8..

[letmepointout]

@Oilerator he jumped 12 inches off the ice , elbows first into the guy's head. it would have been charging against Chara. you sound worse than biased, you sound like a pens fan.

[Oilerator]

@letmepointout well i might sound a bit biased but when a 6 foot guy raises his arms to check a normal 5 foot 7, his arms are really likely to make contact with the head. Suppose Sutton was to do that same check on a guy like Dion Phaneuf, it would obviously not make contact with the head.

[letmepointout]

@Oilerator what does a big guy throwing a legal hit have to do with this suspension? the hit was dirty regardless of sutton's height.

[Oilerator]

@MontrealHooli he is big guy... 6" actually and if he does a legal check on any normal sized player, there's a good chance of it bieng aimed to the head, and that not being his intention. I honestly think the NHL should have a different criteria for players like Sutton who are big in size and check guys that are smaller then them.
