Suspension: Nino's Flesh Costs Cammalleri 1 game

He should compare notes with Jovo. And I am hoping that De Haan and Nino both get at least the 9 games.

Hilarious poll. Could not believe a veteran like Cammalleri responded like such a petulant bitch. Hopefully that was his last freebie (yes, I consider one game a freebie considering he almost took an eye) and he gets the repeat offender status. That hit was nothing and I completely agree Cammalleri saw it coming.

AWESOME!

im almost glad he didnt get a long suspension because now we have every right to dish out some frontier justice
on another post i believe someone said we have a home and home with the Habs at the end of this month
on the 9th game let Nino get his revenge personally and on the next game i say whenever “smallandhairy” (love the nickname btw, put it in the LHH glossary NOW) Put a line of Martin-Konopka-Gillies out there with Wisniewski and Jurcina (who will be given methamphetamine to give him some snarl to his game)

Is complete horseshit. I’d almost be willing to bet that Niño will be spoken to about his role in “the incident” also otherwise, they probably would have gone a little heavier on the suspension. I can’t wait until the reign if thus doucheocracy is over.

I work in the behavior analysis field (not board certified), and if I went about using the same disciplinary logic CC uses, I’d be sued, forfeit any licenses and dismissed from any position based on ethics violations. The principles aren’t even accurate. I’ll bet his kid is a jerkoff.

In addition to “Yes,” there should also be a “HELLS, YES!” and a “Just as sure as the sun and the moon.”

I agree with Chickendirt who commented a few people before this post. If that’s what the Canadians think is “gooning” it up, the Isles should show them the real definition of the word.

But now I see a use for that line. The first time I saw it I though, “Oh great we have a Hanson Brothers line. That ought to be funny.” Now I am looking at it more like an equalizer line. If we are going to be pushed around and slighted every time something like this happens I say we change our reputation. Sooner or later Gordon/Snow have to come to their sense and tell the players to stick up for one another. If you see someone swipe at someone’s face let an enforcer take that person out. Not blindside and not cheap just good old fashion hockey. I don’t care if they are as small as Cammi…take them out. It is apparent that other teams feel that they can do whatever they want and unless it is Philly that is playing us Gillies is playing in the A. Of course there are some players coming up but they are not ready yet and Snow keeps flapping his gums about having the ability to spend some money…so go get at least one more large body and don’t let them walk away. If this kind of crap keeps happening what do you think is going to happen when Tavares, Okposo, Bailey, ect… come up for renewal. They are going to leave for another team that has an interest in protecting their players. A place where they do not have to look over their shoulder after delivering a hit or scoring a goal. This has to stop now.

This little ditty comes from a person that used to be one of the writers from Habs Eyes On the Prize…enjoy.

Team mates cannot defend one another when a player is repeatedly targeted, such as with Neiderreiter relentlessly going after Cammalleri, so he has to depend on his stick tactics.

No one wants to see Cammalleri fight, unless it’s against a player his own size. Good luck with that. You wonder how small players survive, thrive and remain in the league? – it’s by doing exactly what Cammalleri did when he had to.

Please be advised that a former blogger for the Habs is stating that it is ok to use a stick on the opponent if you are undersized and the other team checks you. Granted I did not see the game and I am not sure if there was a lot of contact between Nino and Cammi. However, a separate side to his point is that it seems to stand to reason that with the official not 5 feet away from the incident, who SAW THE ENTIRE EXCHANGE, could not make an educated call. Apparently this gentleman feels that the ref forgot his lunettes (french for eyeglasses) that night and decided to take his bad judgment out on the small guy who happened to swing his stick (as a weapon…threat or not) at a player for the other team.

You know this reminds me of the penalty that Witt took while covering Crosby 2 years ago. Back then the call was “he is playing him too hard.” This time it seems to get 1 game because “he is much smaller than the guy he targeted.” I guess someone should tell Shremp that it is ok to swing his stick at a Canadian when someone hits him in one of their games. At that point I would love top go back to HEOTP and see what the former blogger has to say.
