Conor Geekie left the player’s bench specifically to start an altercation with Josh Davies. He got an instigator penalty. He was nowhere near the puck. He admitted in an interview that was his purpose. I don’t see how you let that go.

Member of the Lightning? 41 game suspension. No room in the game for that shit. Leaving the bench to start a fight where he assaults the guy in character, all for a clean check? Yeah fuck that, he's done. I used to really like Geekie but this completely flipped me.
agree. whats up with the TB nutbags…c'mon nhl get it together the season is about to start
I was a ref for 15 years and some of these rules are written but to not be taken literally (weird eh but that's how they write some rules, rule book gets argued at a lot of ref meetings)
This rule is more designed for a situation during a stoppage of play where a player jumps on the ice from the bench making him the 6man, remember the David Clarkson incident with the Leafs(he got 10 games for leaving the bench during a stoppage to start a fight)
Could I see them suspending Geeke for a game or 2, sure but I don't think he will get 6-10 games for this incident…..if he does all the power to ya for making the call!! IMO arber xhekaj jumping off the leafs player is worse than this Geeke play and Xhekaj got 5K fine.
We need more of these things imo
This preseason is strange !!!
With all due respect…he made a legal line change and it's none of your fcking business what he did after that!!!
You wanna hit him with a 2 minute minor for instigating? I can live with that. But ffs, he's a good Canadian kid playing hockey the way it should be played. I've had it with the pussifying of the NHL.
You sound like a bish! Sit down and stfu. Davies deserved what he got. Dude must be a panther fan. 🙄
Glad Stamkos isn't associated with that shithead. SO GLAD they threw the book at that kid
Ended up only getting suspended for 1 preseason game.
