| Post subject: | No Suspension for MacArthur |
This from the Buffalo news: "Meanwhile, it appears left wing Clarke MacArthur will escape further penalty for his boarding major against the Oilers' Liam Reddox. Neither MacArthur nor Ruff received a call from the NHL this morning regarding the hit, so a fine or suspension is unlikely. "I don't even feel like I leaned on him that hard," MacArthur said. "He just went in so quick."" http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/200 ... rthur.html Merge and rename with the MacArthur thread, please. |

Good news. I don't think it deserved a suspension. |

Was worthy of the major penalty. Not sure about the misconduct, and definitely not a suspension. Glad Reddox wasn't seriously hurt. |

I really don't think Clarke meant to do it. If he had, why would he have been so quick to see if Reddox was okay. |

BS, you know as well as I do that the NHL sometimes doesn't look at intent as much as actions. I wholeheartedly believe that Reddox contributed to the boards as much as Clarke contributed. That may have be a mitigating factor for the NHL. |

Good deal, I thought Clarke would get 3 games since he was booted from the game |

I thought a game misconduct was only issued on fighting and the instigator rule under 5 minutes left. |

I heard them mention it when I was watching the Blues/Preds game tonight when Backes got a boarding major. Anyways I found it in the NHL rulebook (the wonders of google). link:http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule44.html Quote: #b. When a major penalty is imposed under this Rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.

So any major with head or face injuries is a game. |
