    2 games is BS , if they really want this stuff out of the league they need to make this 6 games

    Fair, I got downvoted in canucks sub for saying it *could be up to five* so 2 games plus got kicked out halfway thru. 2.5 does round up closer to five. Eat turds Vancouver fans

    What about Barry Bonds swinging a homer at Larkin’s head?

    So hes back for our game against them Thursday. Shit lol

    Canuck fans are saying it’s a soft suspension. About as textbook of a deliberate headshot as you’re going to see. Zadorov turned to take the angle that would have allowed him to hit the head when it would have been easier to just check Raymond though the shoulder.

    It’s still fucked up Joseph didn’t get 20+ games

    Love all the Canucks fans saying he sold the hit. These neck beards would miss a month of work and be filing for disability claims if they got hit in the head as hard as Raymond did.

    Ridiculous suspension. Even the 5 minute penalty was excessive.

    I’ll get downvoted for this, but we need to look at this objectively, and not from red-tinted glasses. This wasn’t worthy of a suspension.

    I may be in the minority here, but I didn’t think it was that bad. It seemed like the main point of contact was lower, like chest/shoulder.

    Should have been 3 games, letting him come back first game against the wings again is pathetic, I’m sure nhl does it for the ratings and wants a fight, but player safety wise it’s a bad move
