2024-25 NHL Misc. Thread

The Rangers put Shesterkin on IR with an upper body injury. They recalled Louis Domingue from Hartford. So they’re gonna ride Quick into the ground? They have 6 games in 10 days starting on Thursday, the last of which kicks off a 3 game Western Conference roadie.
Zach L’Heureux, call your union rep. This meathead was suspended 10 times between the Q and AHL. He’s not another Matt Rempe though, when his brain isn’t short circuiting, he looks like he can play. A first round pick, he was better than a point per game in the Q and had 48 points in 66 games for Milwaukee last year. But he also had 197 PIM in this 66 games

Yuck…legs aren’t supposed to do that.
Not surprisingly, L’Heureux has a hearing.

We need some 10 game+ suspensions
It’s a phone hearing, so no more than 5 games.
Here is some more on L’Heureux’s suspension history. It includes jamming his stick between glass panes at the players’ exit and jabbing it at an opposing team’s fan. He got 10 games for that.
Jared Spurgeon will have an MRI and is out indefinitely.

Preds prospect L'Heureux ready to put suspensions behind him
First-round pick eyes first pro season
What he should have is a job in the low minors. Sideshow clown of a player
L’Heureux got 3 games. Seems light, it could have gone to 5 with a phone interview.

I've seem MUCH worse punished not nearly as severe.
That’s because Player Safety is a clown show
I dunno man. It doesn't get a lot more dangerous than a slew foot that takes out both legs that close to the boards. That's basically a guaranteed injury of some kind.

I like the suggestions of late that the NHLPA should start looking seriously at the injury matches the suspension type of protocol...if a guy is truly out weeks because of suspension-worthy plays like L'Heureux's, he should sit for as long as Sturgeon is out. Until the PA actually starts pushing the league hard on this stuff, nothing is ever going to come from the league itself.L’Heureux got 3 games.

I don’t like that. It cuts both ways, if the player isn’t injured, what’s the suspension? On the other hand, it could lead to phony injuries keeping a guy off the ice. Let’s say Tom Wilson goes berserk and injures a 4th liner. Is it in the other team’s best interest to keep Wilson out of the Caps lineup while the other team pretends 4th liner is injured beyond what was expected? Does the suspension carry over to the next year? When Matt Cooke clobbered Marc Savard in March 2010, Savard was out until December.

Then don’t go berserk in the first place.
Which is exactly why no serious league has ever matched suspensions to injuries caused.

Until the players start respecting each other at least to a point of putting a stop to doing stupid shit like slew foots and head shots there is no solution. At the same time, you cannot have players being lost to teams for months and a guy gets a game or two suspension…that model is as dumb as you get.
At the same time, you can’t keep a guy lost for months in an attempt to keep a guy on another team out.
Maybe the NHLPA should care more about the victim than the perpetrator. But that’s not going to happen either.
