Regarding the Shea Weber hit, how is this not intent to injure?
Totally unwarranted cheap shot. Game was over.

I'm wondering about Weber too. I was watching that live (obviously), and it looked pretty vicious at the time. Especially with the focus on head-hunting, I can't imagine he won't get hit with at least a game."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

He should be out for the series, IMO.
I'm so sick of that kind of ****.
Plus you know the game he returns against the Wings, **** will go down."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

And Weber just got a $2,500 fine.
Bull****."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No suspension, $2,500 fine. That'll learn him good.

That's the minimum fine they can even assess.

Actually, that the maximum fine they can assess under the current CBA.Originally posted by Supr49er View PostThat's the minimum fine they can even assess."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

So they can fine someone $1?

Can't believe there was no suspension. it was literal head-hunting.
Why does the NHL let guys off so easy in the playoffs? It totally sends the wrong message.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Dunno. I suppose they could in theory. Though for most NHL players, and especially for someone like Weber, $2,500 might as well be $1.Originally posted by Supr49er View PostSo they can fine someone $1?"The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

I had myself convinced that Weber would be sitting a game or two for that stupid stunt. I guess all that talking the league did about "player safety" over the last year only applies during the regular season.Comment

Sloppy game for Vancouver. Hopefully the loss will wake them up, though.
Also, it's hard to see why Weber got a meaningless fine when Bitz was (deservedly) suspended two games for his hit.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

I am utterly baffled by lack of punishment for Weber.
The only thing I can think of is that Shanahan's office wants to avoid questions of favortism towards her former teammates in Detroit, but that seems a stretch."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

The NHL seems to becoming increasingly like the NBA where there's one set of rules for star players and another for everyone else. My guess is that Weber wasn't suspended because his absense would very likely have a measurable impact on the series, and so the league didn't want to upset the competitive balance. Which of course is hore****, but that's where we seem to be."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned
