hf101 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 With about 2 minutes to go in a 5-4 game against the Wild, Big Buff lays out this hit on a defenseless Pomminville. The call on the ice was 2:00 for Boarding, but the league surely should be giving Big Buff a phone call. Byfuglien's last suspension was 4 games how many should he get for this unnecessary hit? Parise yelling at Byfuglien. " Are you serious You didn't have to **** do that" and here is a close up https://streamable.com/3v5u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordsOfWisdom Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Once again.... 0 games. This a minor thing. It's a 2-minute penalty for boarding (or whatever the minimum is) and no suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I dunno 101, it was a bang, bang kinda thing. I don't know if there was any real intent to hurt Pommer. I think he expected him to get back on his feet and start to forecheck/pursue the puck and he hit him to cut off his path to the puck. Plus, he took no extra steps, I'd let this one slide.

Zz_ Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If you watch the slow motion portion, looks intentional. I would say 2-3. (But since there was no injury or no serious injury, maybe 1-2.) I feel like Player Safety are handing out dumb lengths for things not as intentional or serious. I say serious because that hit there could have been far worse and could gave been a 5 and a game.

jammer2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It might have been intentional, but if Pommer did regain his footing and got to that puck first, it could have really turned into a decent scoring chance. It could be as simple as Buff making sure he finished his check so there was no way Pommer could reach that loose puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaFlyerFan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Intentional, avoidable, dangerous, and suspendable. Scott Hartnell was suspended for 2 games for the same kind of hit several years ago (2007). He is a repeat offender and his last suspension was 4 games. This will be 5-6 games.

J0e Th0rnton Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well, he drove that big butt into his head on purpose. Drove his head into the boards at the same time. Its not too often I see a butt hit a head like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'd like to see the league give him more games than his last suspension, but since the league looked the other way with the Rinaldo hit vs being forced to give Rinaldo more than 8 games I think they wont be giving Big Buff more than 4 games. Thus he will probably get nothing. imo, this hit deserves a game or two as it was reckless and not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zz_ Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Everything looks intentional in slow motion.Not always. Even at regualar speed it still does. He was down for quite some time, buf knew it and continued to hit him. Intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandonn Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't think he'll get any tbh it wasn't really that bad, 2 mins for boarding is a fair call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
