OST: Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators, Western Conf Quarterfinals

[JDC48160]

oh no, another $2500?

something seems a little wrong with that value of a fine for these guys...not really a deterrent...

From what a friend of mine just posted on his FB, $2500 is the maximum allowable fine under the CBA.

[Marklar]

Joke.

League continues to talk about player safety but fails to prove they are serious about it. Failure to suspend Weber shameful.

I just hope that the wings are smart enough to not try and exact revenge for what the league didn't have the balls to do. You don't get revenge in the playoffs when it's going to be looked at the way any retaliation will be in the next game. You do it in the regular season next year. The wings are smart enough to not play that game.

I have a great idea for retaliation, send the Preds to the golf course.

And then next year remind Shea Weber what a gutless punk he is.

[MoOff24]

One thing I will give the NBA credit for over the NHL is they arent scared of disciplining in the playoffs. I think it was the Suns/Spurs WCF, when there was a skirmish and a few Suns players stepped off the bench and onto the court. According to NBA rules that is a suspension (silly rule or not, thats no the point). The league didn't look the other way because it was a good player in Amare Stoudamire and because they didn't wanna mess up the playoffs,,,,they suspended his ass for the next game. The NHL should have done the same with Shea Weber. Same thing with the Malkin thing a few years ago...which was technically a "mandatory" suspension.

[motorcityjoe611]

Some Wing will probably cross check a Pred and draw a suspension now for retaliation. No wonder this league is mired in regional love. If we weren't raised on it we'd be likely be ranking it a notch above curling.

[TG7782]

Its pretty telling that the only ones who don't think this is ridiculous are people in Nashville and the NHL. Generally speaking most everyone in the league just loves to pile on when something bad happens to Detroit but even most media people can't believe this.

[SportsFromA2]

at least carryover the penalties to the next game or something.

in basketball wouldnt't the game be 'extended' for the duration of the free throws?

If someone gets a penalty at the end of the game maybe you should get a power play out of the deal, tack on 2 minutes.
