RonJeremy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Shea Webber elbows Zetterberg in the head and then grabs his head and smashes his face into the glass, and GUESS WHAT? HE GOT 2 MINUTES. Yet Rinaldo got 5 and a game misconduct for clean hit in the last game against Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah I saw that, basically a WWE move. I have to imagine there's a one game suspension there, can't wait to hear Shanahan on this one. I like Weber, but that was just dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHI Flyers10 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm thinking one game suspension, though it should probably be two. The intent was pretty bad, even if it just looked worse than it really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeDDS Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hope it's 1-2. Not holding my breath, though.And Weber didn't get 2 minutes. He got less than 5.1 seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingNut722 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=627504Weber only has to pay $2500 for this incident which is total Bull! Weber makes $7.5 MM a year and he only has to pay $2500? Hell, I make peanuts compared to that, and $2500 to smash somebody's head into the wall seems like a pretty good deal to me!

flyercanuck Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 They discussed this on Hockeycentral. Millard then asked if the panel thought the Flyers would get suspended if they did this to Crosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it was that was talking about preference for star players versus preference for teams may have been onto something. Weber. Norris front-runner. Hmmm....

Whoever it was that was talking about preference for star players versus preference for teams may have been onto something. Weber. Norris front-runner. Hmmm.... It was me!Crosby>Malkin>Weber>ZetterbergThat's what we know so far.So I guess since it's $2500 for Weber, that means it's $1,000 for each smashing of face into the glass, plus $500 for the blind-side swing-and-miss just before it. Not a bad deal! That'll stop the cheap shots FOR SURE!Almost—no, it iS--insulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 @SpikeDDS You can bet your arse if the player doing the headsmashing is wearing O&B he'd be suspended for multiple games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingswede Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I guess Weber is another of Bettmans "cute boys" Some of NHL players can do stuff and get away with it.I've heard Weber had to pay Z 2500 dollar. WOW that must be tough for Weber... now he have to sell his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I am stunned, seriously. How on Earth did that not draw a suspension? Hit to the head, intent to injure, nationally televised game, etc etc. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Easy. Weber plays for Nashville. Nashville is a financially sensitive market for the NHL. Nashville is also part of Bettman's Southern experiment, which he consistently has to prop up and justify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeDDS Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 @sarsippiusAnd don't forget that Weber's a Norris finalist. He's a big star! BANG! <kiss> THE WORLD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut722 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 And don't forget that Weber's a Norris finalist. He's a big star! BANG! <kiss> THE WORLD!LOL! Thank you Mr. Rooney!In response to your previous post, would I prefer to have the fine or a 2-min penalty. Personally, I'd rather have the suspension. But I'm surprised they even bothered with the $2,500. The probably spent more on the long-legged, busty office temp to fill out the paperwork.

WingNut722 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 @JackStrawNot at all! I'm all for them. However, most of the best long-legged busty office temps cost more than $2500. I see no reason why the fines for Weber shouldn't at least cover the cost of overhead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
