Fuck you shanny.

I knew that Lucic was not gonna get suspended. He ran the goalie it's not the first time it's happened.

That was the single most retarded thing I've ever read, Shanny. Fuck you.

It's up to us now. It was up to us in the first place.

Although I'm not shocked at this decision, I hope Thomas takes note for the next game. Crash the net and hard.

It's open season.

This is what's wrong with the NHL today. When teams took care of their own issues in regards to cheap shots, the game was a safer place. Who gives a shit if you put someone out for 2 months if you only end up with a minor penalty and maybe a small fine. Teams need to "take care of their own" and it needs to start on Nov 23! First order of business...RUN THOMAS ON THE FIRST SHIFT!!!! Next is to send McCormick and/or Regher on the ice as soon as Lucic steps on and kick the living shit out of him---don't wait for him to drop the gloves, just skate right over to him and start swinging.

Problem solved.

well, its open season, boys, lets have at em. ?

So hitting a defensless skater is really bad now, but hitting a defensless goalie is fine if it's not a head shot. Well not fine, but only worth 2 mins...cool.

I'll be very surprised if Boston starts Thomas on the 23rd, but either goalie should get bulldozed (no head shot) every time he leaves the crease and leave the PK to handle it. Lucic should get targeted for a legal check EVERY time he touches the puck. I would send the closest two or even three players to check him all night long.

I don't blame Kaleta coming off suspension, I don't blame McCormick still healing with stitches in his face. I don't even blame Gaustad since it turns out he was just coming off the bench on a change and didn't see the hit, and then got blocked out from Lucic. In fact I don't truly expect any player to have to fight Lucic fair, but if gloves come off I would pull any manuever to put him down in a humiliating way and wipe the ice with his face. I know these guys don't know fancy hand-to-hand stuff, but this isn't about "fair". He humiliated the team in a very cheap way, so he deserves the same in return.

The next game will now become a farce on the level of last season's Pens/Islanders games, and the NHL can blame itself when it happens. They could've at least given Lucic one game...but made it the Nov 23rd game, or even the next two rematches or so. Instead we'll have a debacle with actual suspension time coming or, worse yet, serious injury. I really feel bad for the officials that get assigned that game.

A suspension wouldn't have been "justice" anyway.

Wow, I really thought he would be suspended. Disappointing.

But like most of you echoed, I'm concerned about the team's reaction the next time they face the Bruins.

What I see are 5 more games in which we're going to bend over and take it. In the last 3 years, I've seen nothing to indicate otherwise.

Total BS if we would have retalliated I'm sure one or two of our guys would be suspended right now or at least fined. Good thing we've got a team full of pussies...

No, not our whole team. Kaleta's out there, Lucic is getting attacked. McCormick is out there, Lucic is getting attacked. Goose was held back. Myers decided to be a vag. Vanek and Sekera went after him.

First of all I hate it when goalies get hit like Miller did but there is no way, unless Lucic blindsided him, was going to get suspended. End of story and end of topic

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

Plus the Sabres would look even worse than they do now. Well I hope Lindy learned his lesson by "allowing the league to handle it"

I think all that stuff will be said/done, but this time I don't think it will mean much to the Sabres. They've had their manhood questioned from every direction.

BTW, Cole's penalty on Enroth must have been the video Shanahan looked at, because the difference between that and Lucic's hit is like night and day. Those two videos should be on Shanahan's training list to send out to all teams, showing the difference between intentional and unintentional.

Oh wait I forgot, Shanahan asked Lucic if he meant it and he said, "no", so I guess they're the same.
