tonyboy18 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 9 Games! Nichol forfeits $25,267.41. That money will go to the Players? Emergency Assistance Fund.
rickshaw Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Not enough. Should have gotten the same as Melo did in the NBA.
Crestwood Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Not what I was hoping, but more than expected from this NHL. As noted many times on the other topic page, the NBA brawl probably affected this situation.
LabattBlue Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Should have been 20 games. The gutless little puke got off easy. :angry:
wudden Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 I was expecting 2 to 3 games... 9 blows me away. I think he "deserved more", but based on the NHL's lame and unpredictable punishment system, who ever knows what the hell they're gonna do. This is the longest NHL suspension I can ever remember. Turns out to be tied for 12th longest suspension in NHL history... The Rest Of The Season - Marty McSorley of the Boston Bruins, for knocking out Vancouver's Donald Brashear by swinging a stick at his head in March, 2000. McSorley missed 23 regular season games. The Bruins did not qualify for the playoffs. The Rest Of The Season - Todd Bertuzzi of the Vancouver Canucks, for serious injuries sustained by Colorado's Steve Moore when Bertuzzi jumped him from behind in March, 2004. Bertuzzi misses 12 regular season games, plus an undetermined number of playoff games. 23 Games - Gordie Dwyer of the Tampa Bay Lightning, for abusing officials and leaving the penalty box to fight in a pre-season game against the Washington Capitals in September, 2000. 21 games - Dale Hunter of the Washington Capitals, for a hit on Pierre Turgeon of the New York Islanders following a Turgeon goal in the 1993 playoffs. 20 games - Tom Lysiak of the Chicago Blackhawks, for intentionally tripping a linesman in October, 1983. 20 games - Brad May of the Phoenix Coyotes, for a slash to the head of Columbus' Steve Heinze. 16 games - Eddie Shore of the Boston Bruins, for hitting Toronto's Ace Bailey over the head with his stick in 1933. 15 games (3 regular season, 12 playoff) - Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens, for knocking down linesman Cliff Thompson during a scuffle with Boston's Hal Laycoe in March, 1955. 15 games - Wilf Paiement of the Colorado Rockies, for swinging his stick and hitting Detroit's Dennis Polonich in the face in October, 1978. 15 games - Dave Brown of the Philadelphia Flyers, for cross-checking Tomas Sandstrom of the New York Rangers across the face and breaking his jaw in November, 1987. 15 games - Tony Granato of the Los Angeles Kings, for slashing Pittsburgh's Neil Wilkinson in February, 1994. 13 games - Wayne Maki of the St. Louis Blues and Ted Green of the Boston Bruins, for swinging their sticks at each other in September, 1969. 13 games - Andre Roy of the Tampa Bay Lightning, for leaving the penalty box and physically abusing an official while trying to engage players in the New York Rangers' penalty box in April, 2002. 12 games - Brantt Myhres of the San Jose Sharks, for leaving the bench to attack Mattias Norstrom of the Los Angeles Kings in February, 1999. 12 games - Matt Johnson of the Los Angeles Kings, for deliberately injuring the New York Rangers' Jeff Beukeboom in November, 1998. Beukeboom suffered a concussion and never played again. 12 games - Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers, for attacking Montreal's Chris Chelios during a playoff game in May, 1989. 12 games - David Shaw of the New York Rangers, for high-sticking Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux in October, 1988. 11 games - Owen Nolan of the San Jose Sharks, for a hit to the head of the Dallas Stars' Grant Marshall in February, 2001. 11 games (3 playoff, 8 regular season) - Tie Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs, for knocking out Scott Niedermayer with an elbow to the head during the 2001 playoffs. Domi was suspended for the balance of the playoffs and the first eight games of the following season. 10 games - Jimmy Mann of the Winnipeg Jets, for sucker-punching Pittsburgh's Paul Gardner in January, 1982. 10 games - Ruslan Salei of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, for hitting Dallas' Mike Modano from behind in October, 1999. 10 games - Scott Niedermayer of the New Jersey Devils, for hitting Florida's Peter Worrell in the head with his stick in March, 2000.

Eleven Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 15 games (3 regular season, 12 playoff) - Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens, for knocking down linesman Cliff Thompson during a scuffle with Boston's Hal Laycoe in March, 1955. I think that's the one that set of riots in Montreal. For the record, I thought Nichol should have gotten 10-12 and would get about 6. My thinking: It's not the same as the Bertuzzi incident becuase it was in the same game and in fact in the heat of the moment. Glad to see the NHL came up from what I thought it would do.
deluca67 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 9 games is like 50 games for a player like Nichols. I wonder if the only reason he did it was to get a mention on Sabre Space? It's the only reason anyone would ever mention such a irrelevant piece of garbage like that. A player like that gets to wear an NHL uniform while there is about 500 more talented players in the minors just waiting for their chance. :doh:
BRH Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 10 games - Jimmy Mann of the Winnipeg Jets, for sucker-punching Pittsburgh's Paul Gardner in January, 1982. I wonder how this one compared to the one last night. Paul Gardner. What a blast from the past. Scored 61 goals for the Amerks in 1985-86 if I remember right.
cdexchange Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I'm proud that there aren't any Sabres on that list :thumbsup:
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Didn't Montreal burn when the fans rioted over this one?: 15 games (3 regular season, 12 playoff) - Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens, for knocking down linesman Cliff Thompson during a scuffle with Boston's Hal Laycoe in March, 1955. <_< <_< I think that's the one that set of riots in Montreal. For the record, I thought Nichol should have gotten 10-12 and would get about 6. My thinking: It's not the same as the Bertuzzi incident becuase it was in the same game and in fact in the heat of the moment. Glad to see the NHL came up from what I thought it would do. :oops: Didn't see your post Eleven...

Andrew Peters has to be better than Scott Nichol! :D
deluca67 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Just think, DeLuca. Andrew Peters has to be better than Scott Nichol! :D With 28 goals? Nichols is a freaking Wayne Gretzky when compared to 'The Juice'. :thumbsup:
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 With 28 goals? Nichols is a freaking Wayne Gretzky when compared to 'The Juice'. :thumbsup: Just noticed... He is one record to break his 7 goal record set with the 'Hawks back in '03-04... Hope the 9 game suspension doesn't derail his "breakout" year... :blink: Ah... What could have been if the Sabres would have not given up on him! See... They learned their lesson and are keeping Peters... :nana:
FogBat Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 With 28 goals? Nichols is a freaking Wayne Gretzky when compared to 'The Juice'. :thumbsup: Ha ha ha. DeLuca, you never cease to amaze me with your anti-Peters rants. However, Nichol has also been playing in the bush league much longer than Peters has.
