Calgary Flames forward Rene Bourque has been suspended two games for his hit on Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Brent Seabrook on Sunday.

Too bad. Bourque barely hits anyways, and the one time you see it, he gets suspended for it.

Shouldn't have been a suspension. Missing the game should have been enough. Nothing intentional or malicious, just an awkward play.

I could even see a 1 gamer since that's what Lucic got, but this effectively makes it a 3 game suspension. Shanaban fails again.

Bourque has a bit of a history IIRC. I saw this one coming.

No more than Lucic does. why a different suspension on arguably the same play?

Wow. I thought earlier that he would not get suspended. What the heck. There have been a lot of plays so far this season that warranted a suspension that never happened. Flames and their fans got ripped on this one. I'm telling you . Shanny is not the person to be in that chair. He's has not been removed from the game long enough.

Kinda pissed that Lucic only got one, Phanuef got none and Bourque got two. Didnt think there would be one, oh well, ill get over it.

Sweet, thanks. If Bourque has history than Phaneuf wrote the bible on questionable hits.
