Yup just saw that as well. Not sure how anyone can argue a suspension is not warranted. Ehlers' actions on the ice are a separate issue. This hit was dirty, and suspension worthy. Thats not even a "hit" ... he put his hand on his hip and pushed ... and Ehlers goes into the boards. This isn't a case of guy getting drilled from behind, but rather minor contact that ended awkwardly, because Ehlers was turning back against the grain. I see a penalty there ... boarding should be the call ... but I don't see a suspension. Ehlers was not injured on the play ... which they always take into consideration.

So are you still thinking you're making sense? You're saying the play was called correctly yet you're saying no suspension was warranted. Which is it because it's not both? "The Play was called correctly" to me means on and off the ice. I give up. 1. You said Ehlers launched himself into the boards. 2. I said, that's stupid. On ice penalty called correctly - should not be suspendable. What is so hard to understand about that. I agree it was a 4min penalty. Don't think it was a suspendable offense. If you can't understand that, I can't help you. Your insinuation that it was a dive on Ehlers part is just fandom and shows a complete lack of knowledge about the game. Please PM me your dealer's info. I'll be in Halifax over the next few days and I want some of what you are on. I don't give a fuck about the 4 minute penalty. The suspension is what irks me. You're saying it was called correctly but no suspension was warranted. A suspension is part of the call so you're clearly inebriated off of something much stronger than is currently legal in Canada.

He was suspended because the league wants that type of hit out of the game. I would be the last to call that suspension if it were my job. But its their job and that what they called. For most Moose fans there is no double standard here. We all agree Bent got the right call in game except that Maletesta should have got interference as well. The only reason any Moose fans brought this up was because some Wildcat followers suggested Bent should have been suspended. Obviously this hit was more serious. In fact nobody on the Moose board was crying for a suspension on Saturday night. I am shocked as the next guy they made that suspension...well not completely surprised because its the Q but it was off my radar. @ all the wildcat postes above thinking Moose fans want it both ways

It was a penalty, didn't warrant a suspension imo. But, the Q head office always gets hot and horny with suspensions every year come playoffs, so not surprised Johnson got dinged. There was no intent to injure. Ehlers just fell awkward.
I get Moncton fans are pissy about it, but for god sakes, stop whining. It sucks, Moose fans know the feeling.
Tip of the hat to Ducharme btw. It was uncharacteristic of him to come out in the papers, publicly scuritizing officials re: treatment of Ehlers a while back, but don't kid yourself, it was a calculated rant. Nicely done lol.

I'd even say bowers hit on hunter in game 1 was worse than that one.. i don't think he ever came back and didn't play in game 2

I think the Bower hit on Hunter in game 1 did warrant a suspension. He was looking to hit him hard and he did. That was a full blown check from behind. Hunter was also injured and missed the rest of the game (most of the game) ... plus game 2 ... and perhaps more. This one isn't even a check ... Ehlers was not hurt ... and missed less than 3:00 on the clock because he was on the ice before the 2 man advantage ended.

You can't understand why I can agree with a 4min penalty but don't think Johnson should have been suspended? If you can't comprehend that, again, can't do anything for you.

Careful...u are giving credit to a coach that some Moncton fans think is "mediocre.." Ducharme was asked by media types if Ehlers was getting undeserved embellishment calls. This was in the regular season long before anyone imagined the Moose could win a playoff get let alone 6 playoff games...this is what makes Dom a great coach. As subtle as a Scotty Bowman he spun the discussion into "league is not doing enough to address the abuse my star player has been getting" He was not criticizing the refs directly - it was obvious that he thought the refs were looking for Ehlers to embellish but at the same time same rant he pointed out how much abuse he takes without getting calls. This matters now...in the playoffs. Dom is thinking ahead of everyone else while still coaching in the moment.

I found out yesterday Johnson was getting suspended. I was baffled. I obtained footage of the Bent incident and asked how that was not suspendable but Johnson's hit was. You then called me a troll and said the right call was made but the hit is not suspendable. Ok do you think Johnson should be suspended for his shove on Ehlers? Ehlers probably hurt himself more by launching himself than from the actual shove. No longer sure if serious, or trolling. You've blurred the lines. (Of course the Johnson hit should not be suspendable). It was called properly. The "call" I'm upset with is the suspension. Like I stated, couldn't give two shits about a power play but losing one of our top players for 2 games is pretty significant.

Right, and I commented about the trolling because of the Ehlers launching comment, nothing else. We clearly both agree Johnson shouldn't have been suspended, so lets just put it to bed.

I think the problem is that Moncton fans are so used to their players getting away with dangerous hits that it has skewed their minds into actually not knowing what is and isn't a penalty or what should be a suspendable play. ORLY? How do you figure? 283 14-12-10 Smith, Will Mon 4.35 Kneeing Qué 5 65 14-10-03 Johnson, Stephen Mon 4.50 Checking from behind Rou 2 110 14-10-17 Smith, Will Mon 4.35 Kneeing SNB 1 130 14-10-24 Malatesta, Zachary Mon Kneeing League Revision She 1 18 14-09-14 Askew, Cameron Mon Slashing League Revision SNB 1 This will be the 6th suspension coming from a review for the cats this year compared to Halifax only having 2. What exactly are you basing your comments on? The dirty saulniers? I am basing my comments on trying to piss off some Cats fans.

I would suspend on that play while not judging it against other ones.
