Ryan Lomberg kneeing on Alex Pietrangelo – Tough Call Suspension Recommendation



Ryan Lomberg made a point of targeting Alex Pietrangelo’s knee for an entire shift. As the DOPS, I’d make a point of targeting this behaviour.

  1. Anyone who has watched the Panthers throughout the playoffs has watched many players on this team commit intent to injure penalties on teams with no calls or just a 5K fine. We all love playoff hockey when most penalties shouldn't be called but there have been too many malicious acts to purposely try & injure players that it's just gotten ridiculous.

  2. I agree completely with your analysis. Zero respect for Florida, and very little for the NHL and their officials.

  3. Good call but, you missed the last run/bump he raised his stick to Pietrangelo's face/head – dangerous stick 2 min. – he quickly lowered the stick but the intent to "accidentally" stick him in the face or intimidate was as clear as day.

  4. Lomberg is a perfect fit on the Florida team. He doesn't get much ice time, that would be a disaster. Instead he's used a few times per period to target key players the other team.

    This will only get worse as the series goes. The NHL loves an underdog team that goes far so don't expect ay disciplinary action in the form of suspensions.

  5. They did crap like that through the whole game. They are clearly a dirty team imo and I hate this in hockey. I wish something would get done but it won't. Thanks for sharing this though.

  6. Panthers aught to change their name to the Florida Rats, because this is some rat shit behavior.

  7. I understand your sentiments in these videos but your conclusions as to the penalties are quite unrealistic. None of those infractions deserve a suspension. The first is a minor for interference, the second a minor (maybe a major) for the leg check and the third an iffy misconduct.

  8. 🤬 WTF ! I’m 51 years old and never In my life I have never seen one player targeted intentionally in every round of the playoffs and for the life of me I can’t understand why? They jealous of his ability and contract ? That can’t be it. His pretty wife? I doubt that too. I can only think that there maybe a bounty on Alex but if anyone knows more I’m curious because I have seen other defenseman on VGK take hits too but it’s really disproportionate compared to Pieterangelo
