They're going to hang Vermette to clear any remaining hostility from the Wideman decision.

Well then it was nice of Vermette to do something so atrociously stupid. Very selfless of him.


A Typical Goon posted:

I'm betting Vermette gets suspended for the rest of the season.

I dunno about that but he's going to get absolutely stomped. Abuse of Officials is an automatic 10 game suspension to start, and there's virtually no argument that can be made that Vermette didn't fully intend to hit the ref in retaliation for the missed faceoff.


Between Vermette and Nyquist we gonna see some long-rear end suspensions handed out in the next few days.

The players were lined up offset from the faceoff dot for some reason and the ref dropped the puck anyways.. seems like a bad faceoff to me. Guess that made Vermette mad and he wanted an unpaid vacation.

No, the centres wanted to line up offset. They both put their sticks on the ice signalling that they were ready but Vermette pulled back for some reason. The linesman will generally not drop the puck in that situation but it's not a rule.

I'm sorry.

I don't think that was even the only wtf play from Sbisa last night. He also stood right next to Malkin and ineffectually whacked at him on the first goal.

If you were really sorry you'd get the Pens to trade for him.

Vermette got the 10 game automatic suspension. The Ducks could theoretically appeal but it probably wouldn't be a good idea.



Also Don Henderson, the linesman that Wideman decked, hasn't worked since that game and may be forced to retire.

Yeah, Vermette's suspension could absolutely be increased if he appealed. Refs/linesmen probably wouldn't be likely to give the Ducks any breaks, either.

If you're offsides and can't touch the puck you could still gain an advantage by forechecking or impeding the opposing player with the puck. You have to make a concerted effort to leave the zone once offsides is declared by the linesman.

Nik Kypreos reports that the Leafs are interested in Sheahan. The market was set by Eaves (21 goals) getting a conditional 2nd/1st. Now Sheahan has zero goals, which is significantly fewer than 20, but he's 24 so he could cost as much as a 1st.

Canucks down to 2 NHL defensemen because Stecher, Tanev, Tryamkin and now Sbisa are all out with the mumps. Please, please trade Miller, Burrows and Hansen before they get the mumps as well, Jim. For gently caress sakes this is stupid.

Edit:

This is the Canucks' D lineup right now:

Edler-Hutton
McEneny-Biega

Sbisa apparently does not have the mumps, just some sort of other mystery illness.

Oh good, that means only Tanev, Stecher, Hutton and Tryamkin are out with the mumps. I'm going to have to go dig out my equipment, the way this is going I could be on the Canucks' first pairing by Wednesday.
