Radulov was suspended one game for his hit on Bernier. Is that enough or should it have been more?

Question

I think he should have gotten three games since he has two game misconducts in two games.

Tallgeese3--thanks. It was Hartnell with 2 misconducts. My bad. Heck, there's so many dirty players on the Preds I get them mixed up!! lol!

Answer 1

I think it should be at least 5 games.Colin Campbell has to suspend players for actions like that for more than 1 game. 1 game is just a slap on the wrists. If the NHL is serious about taking hits from behind out of the game Colin Campbell has to suspend players for more than just 1 game.

Answer 2

Hartnell was the one with all the misconducts. He had three over two games. The League withdrew the two misconducts from last night. The decided to suspend Radulov, because the tape clearly shows that Radulov lined up Benier for the hit. Meaning that Radulov saw that Bernier's back was turned, and still decided to make the hit. As I siad before, Radulov could have been called for three different checking violations: Checking from behind, Boarding, or Charging. The man jumped into the check to hit someone from behind. That is a dirty play no matter how you try to spin it.

People like Nefdeezy that think a hit like that is legal are not hockey fans. Yes, it is a physical game, but you do not take a run at a guy that is already down and with his back turned. The hit from Hamhuis was fine, that was good physical play, Radulov's actions were an intent to injur and grossly unsportsmanlike.

Answer 3

I think 1 playoff game is enough. The NHL has always taken the stance that playoff games mean more than regular season games when suspension are handed out. Had this been the regular season I can't see this being more than 2 or 3 games. Since it's the playoffs it has to be less. I think the only thing that got Radulov suspended is that he left his feet. Had it just been a "typical" boarding then I don't think there would be a suspension because that does happen all the time. But the boarding plus leaving his feet shows an intent to injure.

And did you see Radulov jawing at the Sharks bench as he was leaving the ice. That shows that he was mad at something or somebody which totally discredits Nashville's argument that Radulov had no intent and just got excited. Compare that to Hartnell who just went to the bench after he was ejected.

Answer 4

I'm not a Sharks fan, and I'm not a Predators fan, but I think that Radulov should have been suspended for more than 1 lowsy game. Hits from behind are occuring too often nowadays and the only way to eliminate them is to punish the players who do it and send a message to other players around the league. One game is not going to do that. Colin Campbell needs to step up and enforce this rule more before someone gets seriously hurt.

Answer 5

1 game is a JOKE. Espically when you add in two Game Misconducts. I'm going just from that dirty hit from behind though. It was a JOKE that they didn't suspend him from the rest of the series. Do that and it will get the dirty hits out of the game. Keep saying that's it next time you hit from behind like that and we are kicking you out of the series and watch how many more times it is done. Espically in a case where a guy leaves his skates to deliver the hit.

Answer 6

Your announcers do not understand what they're speaking about with Boogaard going knee to knee. i understand it really is who you acquire that concept from. The knee that they said as replaced into because the participant tried ducking the examine and placed himself in a extra susceptible position. also, Brad would sucker punched Kim. Johnsson did not drop his gloves or some thing. you won't be able to punch a guy contained in the face for no reason. Plus he were given heavily injured, will be performed for the season inspite of if the Wild strengthen each and each of how. Brad would is inexpensive and would not have the balls to handle someone his personal length. Heavyweights strive against heavyweights no longer lightweights. that's the reason he were given suspended notwithstanding it would were longer. in basic terms because you take advantage of your fist to seriously intend to injure someone would not propose you deserve decrease than a guy that makes use of his stick. do not get me incorrect, struggling with needs to be contained in the game, notwithstanding the regulations of engagement want to be held in severe regard. Fights are a million on a million no longer 2 on a million THORNTON!!! and also you both should be keen to strive against and both have dropped the gloves.

Answer 7

I think 1 is enough, it wasn't an absolutely horrible hit. Plus, this is just stupid. He gets 1 game for a check like that, but then you got Scott Hartnell on Nashville who deliberately tried to hurt Jonathan Cheechoo. If anyone has a video of it, post it or something, and you can SEE he extends his knee out as Cheechoo is coming at him. That deserves atleast 5 game suspension, that is intent to injure, and hockey doesn't need f@ggots like him who are straight up trash.

Answer 8

I think he should get suspended for the next seasons.
I'm a sharks fan

Answer 9

He didn't even deserve that. What game were you watching?
I sit seven rows up from the glass and I saw it all. They sent out enforcers/instigators. The game was already over with. Sharks came out with 50sec left on the clock, and all they could was cause a big fight. QYB. Ron Wilson must be contagious with his whining. You should be watching the Pittsburgh and Ottawa game right now. Watch all of the cheap shots there. This is the playoffs you should expect this.

Answer 10

Rest of the series i think. LOL @ "so many dirty Predator platers i get them mixed up" aint that the truth
