Ok, now the players are being fined for "normal" everyday penalties. Kaleta was fined for the high stick during the yotes game and a San Jose player was fined for slashing that wasn't even called during the game.

$2500 for Kaleta

Shanahan will fine for this but Lucic get squat. This guy is as much of an idiot as Campbell was.

I thought it was pretty obvious that Kaleta was trying to hit him with his stick on that play. Maybe not in the face, but it definitely wasn't an accident.

I thought it was pretty obvious Lucic intended to steam roll Ryan Miller, but nothing came of that.

This is ridiculous. Kaleta better open up a separate bank account to put money into for fines.

Oh that is where you're wrong. Remember Shanahan talked with Lucic over the phone and that he said there was "no intent."

_________________

No, because he makes videos and gives interviews about his stupid random decisions.

Did he make a video about this?

It's just a fine. He's not gone for any amount of games. This doesn't bother me.

I just thought it would be interesting to see what Shanni has to say about it.

What's he gonna say? Kaleta high-sticked someone, he saw "intent," he fined him.

nothing....sorry I brought it up Van.

_________________

FUCK THAT. I didn't see any intent from Lucic, either. By intent, I mean, he didn't once INTEND to try to avoid the contact.

_________________

His intent was shown when he did nothing to avoid Miller. He didn't try to stop, he didn't try to skate around him, nothing. Matter of fact he "finished" the hit by following through with his arm. That, to me, shows intent... God I wish I was a criminal and Shanahan was my judge. I could get away with murder by just saying "sorry your honor, I never intended on killing him." Sometimes action speaks louder than words. Anyway, I just thought it was amazing that now he's fining players for stuff like this but lets other major infractions just go away

_________________

Bull fucking shit. Obviously Shanahan has some sort of bias against the Sabres, the little twat nugget. Kaleta fined, Lucic not suspended, a warning issued to the Sabres for the next Boston game. Seriously, Shanny, you're a complete retard.

As far as I know that's an assumption on most of us part but it's fairly good one.

I think I read somewhere he said he didn't want to see a violent reaction from the Sabres or something. Still, the guy's gotta be consistent.

i find it hard that the NHLPA and whatever organization the refs are part of arent bitching about Shanahan with the fines to the Kaleta and particularly the guy on the Sharks (Clowe?). The NHLPA should be pissed because their members are being fined without reason (a high stick that didnt draw blood and a slash that wasnt called on the ice) and the officials should be pissed because the fine on Clowe is essentially undermining their authority as to what should be called on the ice.

never mind the precedent that this set when it comes to "everyday" penalties in games.

lets say that a Sabre lands a BIG hit on Lucic at center ice (like the Campbell hit), do you think the Sabre would be suspended before the Bruin hits lands on his ass?
