Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Laraque Suspended Five Games

Montreal Canadiens enforcer Georges Laqaque was suspended five games by the NHL today for sticking his knee out and knocking knees with Niklas Kronwall.  Kronwall is out 4-6 weeks due to the collision. 

To me, this doesn't seem right.  We lose Kronwall for 4-6 weeks and Laraque, who didn't even attempt to make a play for the puck, gets 5 games.  He'll be back on December 4th, from the looks of it.

 

What do you think of this?

I think it is wildly inconsistent of the league. I also think there would be no suspension if Kronwall weren’t hurt.

I dare say Bleep is right. Five games for the jackass…I tried counting how many games Kronwall was gonig to miss and got too pissed off to count anymore when I hit fifteen.

suspensions

The NHL should suspend the offender 4 as long as the injured player takes 2 come back that seems 2 be fair especially when goons hurt star players!

Yea,

never seen it like that before, i think that would be perfect. You can come back when the victim comes back. Thats ALMOST eye for an eye if you ask me.
