if they suspend him... its because the nhl would have something against him... because in my book and in the book of the hockey guys it was clean

Boarding .. good call .. open your eyes.

That wasn't dirty but it's the right definition for boarding.

but game misconduct?

[NRG87]

I know everybody said it was a bad call...but man, that call was beyond bad...game misconduct for that?????????

[Psycho Papa Joe]

Not suspension worthy, and a borderline major. His elbow was a bit high. I personally don't mind hits to the head getting majors, as long as the calls are consistent.

[lennywebster]

boarding = game miscounduct

[TheDamned]

Not a bs call.

Ron Fournier just said the call was right.

I believe it was the right call. Need to protect the player. The hit, while not "dirty" by the book, was still dangerous.

Take the same hit but against a habs player and most people here will be asking for a suspension.

that's it.

[VanNistelrooy]

****in disgrace.

clean ****in hit

[The n00b King ©*]

well it's really because he hit him so damn hard, and it was sort of coming from behind, and there was some charging too...

and it doesnt help that dimaio is so tiny...

i agree that there was material for a penalty, but there must of been something else for the game misconduct though...

[Transported Upstater]

Oh my god...they called a game misconduct for THAT?!?!?!?

Latendresse got screwed there.

[Kirk Muller*]

According to the NHL rulebook

Boarding: Any player who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently into the boards (2 minutes,5 or a game misconduct).

So it was definitely boarding, but it was at the referee's discretion whether to give him 2, 5 or a game misconduct.

[Team_Spirit]

Damn the viagra add is still under the Habs bench

That hit was an elbow imo , it was not from behind. I don't like how Kosty lost the puck , but that was a sucker pass.

[Much Love]

Who cares? Seriously.

The golden boy gets a penalty and a game misconduct in a PRE SEASON game you guys are catching feelings over it. It wasn't even that bad a call.

Get real guys.

[frederixx]

i was at the game and he came from the faceoff circle and never tried to stop or slowdown at all... i still don't think he deserved a game misconduct, but certainly a 2 min for boarding.
