They are related. One happened because the other happened. If Pietrangelo hadn't slashed Draisaitl Nurse would never have gotten chippy behind the net.
That was sooooo dirty. Clear intent to injure.
the problem is not the refs or the players its Betman…who does Betman answer too?….he is King betman and he needs to smarten the heck up….Gary your destroying this game
Should be for the rest of the series but can't do that to bettman's golden turds
What a joke. An intentional slash and a fight. NHL is laughable
this is an embarrassing joke..I'm so effing sick of this crap..30 game suspension for petrangelo..the guy is a complete puss..a one game suspension is absolutely nothing..it's not even a slap on the wrist..it's a pat on the ass..nearly an atta boy, we gotta do this, just a formality to look good on paper..do they truly want to deter these acts?..it doesn't seem like they do..if you start handing out 30+ game suspensions for this stuff I bet the occurrences will reduce to nothing at all..because there is an actual deterrent..you can't just attempt to injure/slow down one of the best players in the world so YOUR team can win..screw this guy AND his team..my team is already out, I'm like an unbiased third party observer..this corksoaker is trying to take EVERYONE's money away..collective league revenue..do you think random viewers are tuning in to watch petrangelo?..lol..they're gonna wanna see Draisaitl..they're gonna buy tickets to see Draisaitl..it's for the greater good..the greater good (I assume you all said after reading this)..if anyone read it….
How did he instigate when he dropped gloves first and punched him 8 times the nhl is rigged like the wwe
So Nurse, defending his teammate, is just as culpable as Pietrangelo's all out intentional assault on Draisaitl ?!!? Bettman has always been a marginal commissioner – at best – and this proves it. Criminal. I guarantee you jailhouse justice will be served in game 6.
I respect Kelly's take on this. One game suspension is a joke
Anyone who's played a lot of hockey knows that was more show than intent to injure, nice dive after the slash, I guarantee you he doesn't miss one game, earth closely, he totally overacts and dives, that's supposed to be illegal too, embellishment. Look where he hit him, not even full slash.
No, no they did not
They sure as hell got it wrong
Eakins is so wrong on his comments,I can’t believe what he is saying
He should have been given 4 to 5 games,I don’t get Parros,he is not doing his job right
Pietroangelo dirty player
No remorse from him wow
Dallas Eakins was FIRED as Coach for the Oilers after 18 months on 2014. He is wrong on this call. 💯
Good for Petro. Oilers were targeting him all game and the refs were doing nothing about it sometimes you have to take it into your own hands.
Best move of the playoffs, taking out Draisaitl with that move! Love you Pete!!!
Piet instead of accepting what he did was real bad, he is now whineing about other incidents. Cry baby. 😢 Get a new job
No sense in crying about it; Bettman could care less.
Of course they didnt…. stone Angel deserved to be stoned for a few games. What a joke for slashing Leon…with the intent of injuring….
1. Intent to injure and…
2. Intent to protect the darlings of creepy Uncle Gary
Parros and player safety is a joke. One game for the Hartman hit on Ehlers that took him out of the entire 1st round series was criminal.
