Yep. Which makes the prust hit which was worse and didn't even get a penalty during the game all the more ludicrous. Amazing to watch the 4 blind mice hurriedly gathering together and excitedly giving the motion that your out of the game to Moore. The NHL is a good league with pathetic officials who have no clue. I still say this is a 1 or 2 game max suspension.
Agreed 100%. Almost identical hit as the Prust one. And Moore didn't break anyone's jaw. More than two would be ridiculous. But we've seen ridiculous suspensions before. (The Hagelin hit on Alfredsson anyone?)
Basically the same hit as Prust so expect him to get the same 2gm suspension. He did seem to raise his elbow in the follow through, while Prust i believe was all shoulder, which may get him an extra game.
On the fip side, Prust's hit cost Stepan a game and broke his jaw. This hit there was no injury. 2 seems fair, but who knows with the NHL discipline wise.
#nhl player security department is looking at an incident involving #canadiens Rene Bourque on Dorsett. And Dorsett headbutt too. #tvasports
Yup, they are looking at the crosscheck on Dorset at the buzzer.... http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/...iewing-bourque-dorsett-incidents-from-game-5/
I think both players (Bourque and Dorsett) will end up getting fined and that's about it. Moore is getting suspended which is what it is. Frankly no different than Prust.
Is it a in person hearing or phone? He SHOULD get 1-2 games but I bet he gets 3-4 the way things are going
Haven't seen the replay from different angles but it appears Moore used a lot of his elbow and if that's the case i think he gets 1 more game than Prust as he only used his shoulder. The fact that Stepan got hurt and Weise didn't shouldn't matter a whole lot as players can get hurt from clean hits and others don't get hurt from dirty hits. It's the elbow to the head shots the NHL wants to get rid of, so if they determine Moore used his elbow he's gone 3gms for sure.
Nobody is reporting phone hearing so I would imagine it's in person. To me there would be zero logic in anymore than 2 games but this is the NHL.
Actually it does matter a lot 31. The NHL always quotes injury as a changer in suspension length. And it was reported last week that Prust was getting 1 game until it was reported Stepan broke his jaw, at which time it was upped to 2 games. Now I am not saying I agree, but injury is a factor for sure when the NHL does these things.
I agree 100% Mess. With that said, I am sure they will stand on some moral ground like second time in this series BS and try to give him 3 games instead. We'll see.
