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.

If Halifax and Quebec both win 6 more games Halifax will qualify as the Q rep in the Memorial Cup Never saw that coming... That's hilarious lol. Nobody in their wildest dreams (except maybe hfxfan09), ever thought there would be even a remote possibility of that happening. Obviously, a lonnnng way to go, and is it probable?....not likely, but with a Q team hosting, it's not a total pipe dream.

Palov tweeted a video with another angle too... I have no problem with a suspension there. Pretty clear shove from behind to a player in a dangerous position. That's a great angle you can see Ehlers launching himself into the boards well after Johnson's hand slipped off his back...yup video evidence doesn't lie another academy award winning performance from Ehlers...thanks for posting.

Yet the league still suspended for it. Even the Rogers play by play guys cringed at the replay. They knew it was a bad hit. Doesn't matter what Ehlers did. It's what Johnson did. Why can't you guys accept that?

Launching himself? I think it has more to do with the shove from behind. Give me a break, it was a shove and a split second crash into the boards. Did he even know he was being followed into the boards there? It's not like he anticipated that coming and embellished. He was about to turn back to his left when he got shoved. That is a completely natural fall into the boards from a shove. You guys arguing this was a dive or something are insane. That is a dangerous play no matter whether or not he was seriously hurt or not. I don't think he was faking being shaken up at all honestly.

I'm making perfect sense. You saying Ehlers "launched" himself into the boards, is foolish. And I'm saying the play was called correctly. Johnson's penalty, was appropriate. No suspension warranted. 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.

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.

I don't see a suspension there. 2 minute penalty. Halifax got a break with that call.

Johnson's hit was dangerous considering the spacing from the boards, and I'm sure the convo would be very different if the player didn't get up. The "launching" comment is hilarious, what do you think is going to happen when receiving a push like that? The push actually could've been worse, as at the last second it looks like Ehlers went slightly to the left while Johnson was going the other way. Not sure if it's suspendable, we have certainly seen much worse. I think the original call on the ice was sufficient...if it was in the regular season, probably no suspension. Anyone thinking this series is over is high on the 2 wins, it still takes 4 wins folks to win a series. I do get a laugh though at the out of towners, you guys are just f*cking hilarious. The comments couldn't be anymore troll like, and if they are what you honestly feel, well I got nothing but laughter

Moose fans may get their wish and see Ehlers returned to Junior next year. Clearly he needs to work on his strength and balance. If that little push, that slipped off his back sent him flying like superman into the boards, in the opposite direction to which he was turning, he will have no chance of even standing up on the ice against pros. Its hard to believe a guy with that much speed and explosive strength on the ice is seems to turn into Bambi so often. That dive had a high degree of difficulty, he had to turn his body back against his turn that's why he got such a great score....

Ok then Moncton player did what he did. But one thing i noticed. Watch johnstons feet and body language. They are in a position to angle and ride him into the boards. Then ehlers turns to his left quite quickly and contact was made. There was no violent push but there was a push. In minor hockey they gave you a penalty and a game for checking from behind along with the offensive player getting a 10 minute misc for turning. I agree tho the guy chasing has to be in control. Still not suspension worthy

What exactly are you basing your comments on? The dirty saulniers?

Still not suspension worthy That's how I see it. Ehlers made a sudden stop-turn at the last second just before contact was made. A penalty was deserved, but not sure about a suspension. Maybe the league had more angles that show it worse. I just find it hilarious how the same people who were so upset everytime a Moose player was suspended are now agreeing with this suspension.
