spndnchz Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 What the hell is taking so long? A watched pot....
Gramps Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 C'mon Shanny - give him a game now so he sits for the Avalanche and is back for Florida and Tampa.
nobody Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 A watched pot.... But we don't want that pot to boil - so then we need to keep watching it! :)
Gramps Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 WTF - 3 games just announced ! Perfect frickin timing Shanny ...
nobody Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 3 games for that hit? (plus his past talk; of course) crazy Here's the Shanny video http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=164475
kishoph Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Myers suspended for 3 games, what a freakin joke.
X. Benedict Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 I'm not surprised by the suspension. I'm surprised by the 3 games. I figured one or two.
LGR4GM Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 so Shanahan can suck it. I have lost faith in him. Lucic injures Miller and gets 0games. Myers runs over a little p.o.s. who is fine and gets 3? ###### YOU SHENANIGANS ###### YOU.
Trettioåtta Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Seems very harsh. The fact they mention he has no history suggests if it was someone with a history it would be 5+ I would have given him 1. What are the chances this kills Myers ever so slightly developing physical game?
Gramps Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 George McPhee just picked up Shanny's bill at the Boca Raton Club ...
sabre snipe Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 ######INGG PRICK SHANAHAN GO SUCK A ######INGG DICK AND CHOKE ON IT. 3 games for that is ABSURD
Robviously Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Myers suspended for 3 games, what a freakin joke. This is total BS. How did Lucic get zero games? This is THREE??? Pegula should request an MRI on Shanahan's brain. You gotta wonder if he may have suffered some concussions during his career....
nobody Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 So Mike Green also get 3 games where they take into account that he has been fined and suspended in his career. But Myers gets 3 games where they take into account that he hasn't been fined or suspended (but Gomez is injured?)
North Buffalo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Shanny's is a joke and so the officiating of the whole league. The is a crap deal. Next time Myers needs to give Shanny a reason to suspend him like ending that POS Gomez pathetic career. He does this but doesn't suspend Lucic or Chara, give me a break.
wallybarthman Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 That's crap. Shanahan is as dumb as it gets. He gave Mike Green three games for a deliberate blow to the head and Meyers got three. How can we not see the fact that certain teams and players get treated differently? I just don't get it. Shanahan's problem is that he let Lucic go un-suspended and now he looks like a coward every time he touches a Sabres player. He should be fired - I'm sorry, incompetence like this demonstrates an inability to do your job right. It's a tough job, but he blew it this season and lost all credibility and continues to show that he cannot fairly and adequately to the job. Green's hit was far worse and he was a repeated offender - same punishment. Sorry Shanny, looks like you guys want the Caps in the play offs more than the Sabres.
LGR4GM Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 I call ###### or as my 87yr old grandma would say... "that's a crock of sh!t"
Taro T Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 3 games for that hit? (plus his past talk; of course) crazy Here's the Shanny video http://video.nhl.com...id=60&id=164475 They gave him 3 games taking into consideration that Myers has no history of suspendable offenses. How many games would he have gotten if he'd ever BEEN suspended in the past? They also considered Gomez to have been 'injured.' He returned to the game 3 minutes later and there is no indication that he suffered an 'injury' in the Yahoo writeup of the game. How much longer would the suspension have been if Gomez suffered an actual injury? Interesting. Edit: Just watched the Green hit. In that one, 'Connolly was shaken up but returned to the game so he was not injured.' What am I missing on the definition of 'injury?'
X. Benedict Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 They gave him 3 games taking into consideration that Myers has no history of suspendable offenses.

He returned to the game 3 minutes later and there is no indication that he suffered an 'injury' in the Yahoo writeup of the game. How much longer would the suspension have been if Gomez suffered an actual injury? Interesting. Hard to say...part of me thinks it may be a way to show Gomez the door. If he's indeed concussed that might be his last NHL play...not because of the injury, but because I can't imagine him on an opening day roster at his price point.
North Buffalo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Interesting that Myers likely replacement is McNabb who actually does hit and is more than likely to injur one of his precious Tampa Bay players. This should be interesting Shanny you hypocrit.
Taro T Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Hard to say...part of me thinks it may be a way to show Gomez the door. If he's indeed concussed that might be his last NHL play...not because of the injury, but because I can't imagine him on an opening day roster at his price point. If he's concussed, and I haven't seen any outlet claiming he is, how the heck did he get allowed back into the game 3 minutes later? The league's procedures require him to spend 15 minutes going through the concussion testing procedure if the Habs suspect a concussion.
North Buffalo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone know how to login in to post a comment on the NHL's website if you are a member?
TrueBlueGED Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 It's almost impossible to figure out what the NHL is going to do with any given hit. I can easily picture a Shamahan video where any of the reasons for a suspension or no discipline discussed here are used. The height factor, malicious intent after taking a high stick, the quick turn, the follow through....it's like they decide supplemental discipline with the draft lottery machine, just instead of numbers they have justifications and whatever pops up determines if there's a suspension. I guess they gave us the same ping pong balls as in the Crosby lottery :( Objectively, I have no problems with a suspension. However, 3 games for a guy with zero history is excessive, especially when the player wasn't injured (which I still think should not matter AT ALL, but it does, so yea).
IKnowPhysics Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 BS. Let's go apples to apples: Myers' hit, 3 games: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=164475 The hit by Rene Bourque on Brent Seabrook was very similar and only received 2 games (Seabrook wasn't injured): http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=143498 The hit by Lucic on Rinaldo was very similar (Rinaldo wasn't injured), and despite Lucic's longer suspension history than Myers, he only received 1 game: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=143408 The hit by Letang on Burmistrov was very similar (Burmistrov wasn't injured), and despite Letang's longer suspension history than Myers, he only received 2 games: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=128880 Shanahan's math, or Shanamath: Bourque: +2 games for boarding +0 games for injury +0 games for suspension history +0 games for Calgary = 2 games Lucic: +2 games for boarding +0 games for injury +1 games for suspension history -2 games for Boston = 1 game Letang: +2 games for boarding +0 games for injury +1 games for suspension history -1 games for Pittsburgh = 2 games Myers: +2 games for boarding +1 game for injury +0 games for no suspension history +0 games for Buffalo = 3 games
