Wiederer is suspended 5 games. Here's the video and explanation. First time I see the video, definitely not worth 5 games in my books. Pickard is suspended 3 games. Here's the video and explanation . The Pickard hit actually looks worse to me and Pickard is more of a goon than Wiederer so not sure how his was 2 games less. They have each served one game of their suspension already. |

Player who Wiederer kneed is injured & out 4 weeks while player that Pickard kneed wasn't injured. That might explain the suspension length.

They say Weiderer changed the angle of his leg when the player tried to avoid ... but I don't see that at all. I see Weiderer lining him up for the hit ... the player zigs right which brings the knee on knee contact.
It is a play that Weiderer has no opportunity to alter. He is lining up for the hit and the player changes his route and it goes bad. I see no malice in that hit ... just one that went bad. I understand suspending for that but I think 5 games is excessive.
On the Pickard one I see Pickard reach out with the leg to get a piece of the player ... but not the Weiderer one.

Unfortunately a lot of Q and NHL suspensions are longer due to the injury. A lot of times more serious stuff gets less simply because the player didn't get hurt. |
