Wiz Suspended 8 Games
While the NHL's reasoning behind it is convoluted at best, this is exactly what this overrated, over-hyped, gutless piece of shit deserves.

Wiz's Quotes
Are just awful…“I didn’t do anything wrong?”
Man up you pansy.
Justice has been delivered
If Seabs does have a concussion, this is probably around the number of games he’ll miss. Thank you Campbell for growing a pair.
The delay in assessing the suspension
was because Campbell had to go to his tailor first to let the crotch out in all his pants to make room for bigger balls.
Is it really growing a pair
when you suspend Wiz? It’s not like he gave Ovechkin or someone more important a big suspension.

Yeah you're right
I guess a part of me just hopes this is a move in the right direction.
I was sort of expecting something big
so he could quiet the critics. “See, look, I’m disciplining these head shots. I just gave Wiz 8 games!” And who besides Bob Murray is going to care Wiz is out 8 games? It’s a good PR opportunity to me.

$268,292.72
Yes… I included the cents. Every last one.

$268,292.72…
I know this is probably pocket change to him and whatnot, but it still does make me feel better. I like it more than being out 8 games.

Pocket change? Hardly.
Try nearly 10% of his salary this year.
Also, he made $900k last year.

Poor Wiz
That leaves him a little under 2.5 million to get by on.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
how do they survive?
"The roar from the crowd really fired me up," Burish said. "In warmups there were a lot of signs. One said 'Burish, my grandma is pregnant.' I don't know what that means. I skated by it and said, 'it's not mine.' "

If this is pocket change
and you could make the argument that it is… what I always thought was, regardless of what you think, if you cause an injury you ought to pay the part of the medical bill not covered by insurance (how do hockey players get insured, anyway?). I mean, if you can’t admit guilt, at least give a good gesture so you can sound less douchebaggy.
Ovechkin hit nowhere near the level of the Wiz hit
for starter, Wiz had intent to injure, Ovechkin did not
Isn't that around the same amount
as Ovechkin got for 2 games?
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Ovechkin was about $232k - two games of paychecks..
Jees… on a couple of levels.

That's the thing about looking at these fines
The fine amounts look astronomical until you see what they’re still getting paid.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
Colin Campbell's presense
in Boston seems to have deterred the Bruins in retaliation for the Savard hit. 1:58 in S.Thornton pounds Cooke and gets a 10 minute misconduct for his efforts.
tremendously tremendous
I still wish Eager would've fed Wiz his own dick.
And still I’m holding out hope that Burish will fuck his girlfriend.

Wiz quote -
"I am truly sorry that my friend Brent Seabrook was hurt on the play."
He had all the time it took to skate from center ice to the boards to think about what he was about to do to his ‘friend’. Gutless.
Hopefully
Those fucking refs are suspended a similar length of time. They’re lucky there wasn’t a brawl.
Suspend Refs
Now THAT would get me buying rounds for the bar!
not a bad idea
if those zebras aren’t going to follow the rulebooks and let games devolve into royal rumbles, then they should be punished somehow.

Actually...
According to Chris Kuc and Adam Jahns, it’s the EXACT SAME officiating crew for tonight’s game.
I hope Quenneville gets tossed like a baseball manager and gets his money’s worth on the way out.
I was hoping
that he would have melted down last night and start throwing sticks and whatever else was available on the ice.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
I heard they were flying in new refs but I would absolutely LOVE to see Walsh and the other douche (I forget his name) in tonight’s game.
bad refs do seem to get hit with more clearing shots
and get clipped more in the corners
Confusion will be my epitaph.

Holy shit Brian Murray
Ducks GM Murray on Quenneville: “I strongly suggest Joel worries about his goaltending and stops trying to run the National Hockey League.”
Bob Murray was a total space cadet when he was the GM in Chicago and nothing has changed in Anaheim. He took over a 2007 Stanley Cup Champion team from Brian Burke and has sabatoged it to becoming one of the worst in the Western Conference.
He’s also gone on record to suggest that the Olympics were “terrible for hockey” and that the NHL “should never go again”.
Yeah, the Olympics were terrible for the game of hockey only 30 million people in the U.S. watched the Gold Medal Game. That’s all.
"The Golden Goal! And Canada has - once in a lifetime - Olympic Gold!"
Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
Didnt Murray get accused of pushing
A woman after they were eliminated from the playoffs last year? He won’t have to worry about that this year as their season will be over in 3 weeks. Murray has run that franchise into the ground and they will be looking up at the Kings for years to come.

not pushing
he threw a chair and it hit her. (Source)
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

Murray has the IQ...
…of a burnt out light bulb.
"I don't like them fellas that drive in two runs but let in three" Casey Stengel
Bob Murray is a douche
He should worry about fielding more than ONE FUCKING LINE of forwards and less about what Joel Quenneville says.
On a personal note, I grew up with his son and let me tell you, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
by Cristobal the Cat on Mar 18, 2010 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions
I played against his son
in Soccer in High School every year. I enjoyed telling him his father was a fuckwod. Especially when they got ride of Roenick.
Makes me feel good about those experiences knowing what i do now. Oh and as you said Cristobal, Kevin’s no peach either

I read somewhere
Somebody said the “hawks should stop bitching about hits and play the game”… my response to that would be, with what? The 2.73218 D-men we have left?
More from Murray
“I played in Chicago a long time. … It used to be a black-and-blue town. It didn’t have whiners.”
Where are you getting these jewels from
And why is this moron still running his mouth?

Sooooooo where is this news coming from
Toews out tonight with an upper body injury?
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

never mind, looks like it's not true
Adam Jahns of SunTimes just saw Toews and said it looked like he was getting ready to play.
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

hmmmm, not so sure
Remember last night I said he looked like he injured his arm or shoulder and was totally useless for a shift ( he appeared to let two puck go past him without trying to reach for them). He was back on the ice the next shift though. Sounds like there might have been something to that. Let hope then it’s just something minor.
Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

Seems like the Score started this
and it’s interesting because they don’t have any beat reporters out there. Seems to me more like the update guy confusing Toews with Seabrook.

Somebody on Twitter told me they may have confused Toews
with Lil Toews, who’s not playing at the UND playoff game tonight due to an upper body injury.
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

this is very good news
"The roar from the crowd really fired me up," Burish said. "In warmups there were a lot of signs. One said 'Burish, my grandma is pregnant.' I don't know what that means. I skated by it and said, 'it's not mine.' "
Star Players?
I love how the NHL gives Ovechkin a 2 game suspension for Campbell’s hit, and Wizniewski gets 8 games for his hit on Seabrook. Just goes to show who’s favored in the league. Atta boy NHL Brass
seemed like the wiz hit
seemed more ‘intent to injure’ and was right after the NHL publicized that they would be likely coming down harder on head hunting
Doesn’t seem very moral to me. Might as well take Satan’s autograph while you’re at it. - N.C.
The Wisniewski hit was much, much worse than Ovechkin's.
The hit on Campbell was unnecessary and reckless. The hit on Seabrook was pre-meditated, dangerous, with intent to destroy.
Very true...
…but if you were to just glance at it, it kinda seems biased
practice video at the Hawks site
says no. Well, we’ll see. Time will tell. Time will heal. But right now, he’s still pissed off.
(That’s really what he said.)
