notfondajane Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I, personally didn't see the hit! A local station here in Pittsburgh believe he should receive an one gamer like Letang did earlier in this year playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt it. https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/737469878777581572/photo/1 But ill let you judge for yourself. Most pens fans are not getting the pitchforks out from what I have read.

OccamsRazor Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 That one could go either way i think. I haven't seen anything on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm going to say yes. Because i don't think it was intentional to hurt him but head contact was made and this is the hit i want taken out the game. This guys have to pull up on this borderline hits. They just have to. When you're not completely sure you can get a full chest impact don't take the hit. And i'm pulling for the Sharks and i hate the Pens but these hits have to go. The only way is when the head is hit like this even after contact you have to hold them accountable. There just looks to be contact with the jaw. Maybe from another angle it doesn't but from what i have seen it may sit for this. Just call it even both ways....all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This is another angle. It looks bad i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I doubt there will be a suspension on Marleau, but what about the non- interference call on Dillon by Kunitz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 should be a one game suspension... puck was away from him. Although, the league probably wont suspend him so who the hell knows anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No supplemental discipline from the NHL.... http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2016/05/31/Marleau-will-not-face-more-discipline-for-Rust-hit-penguins-sharks-san-jose-pittsburgh/stories/201605310163 By Dave Molinari / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette San Jose forward Patrick Marleau will not face supplemental discipline for his hit to the head of Penguins winger Bryan Rust during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final Monday night. A league official confirmed this morning that Marleau will not have a hearing with the league's Department of Player Safety. Marleau was assessed a minor penalty for an illegal check to the head at 4:47 of the third period. Rust, who scored the Penguins' first goal in their 3-2 victory, left the game immediately. He subsequently returned for one shift, then adjourned to the locker room for good. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan described him as "day to day." It is not known if Rust will participate in the Penguins' workout at their practice facility in Cranberry today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They gave Letang a game for .03 seconds where the head was not primary point of contact, but nothing here... The NHL review process continues to be a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Coulda gone either way. No history from Marleau if it had been a Raffi Torres or Jared Boll or another repeat offender it probably woulda been suspension worthy. If I were Marleau tho I would not expect anymore free passes this postseason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamflyers Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 From the back angle, I said no, but when I saw that angle from the front, I lean more towards yes. If it were a Flyer's player who got hit, I would probably be clamoring for a 1 gamer, especially since we have seen hits like that draw at least a game in the past. Of course if a Flyer player delivered this hit, my mind would be more drawn to those times when it was not suspension worthy and I'd be saying no . This just highlights the inconsistency that we see with supplemental discipline in the NHL. The fact that we can say that we can see this going either way based on past history makes me feel like the NHL is just flipping a coin sometimes!

Polaris922 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I thought of it as how the excuse when they hit Letang was in the name of consistency since they'd hit Oprik. This just rings of typical NHL disciplinary BS though... it's a frustrating thing for all of the fans I'd imagine. Anyone who cares about the game anyway.

Severide Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I liked what they said on NHL.com - he was reaching and off balance, Marleau had no intent to hit the head and his p.o.c was the chest/body. No sus. Rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think the 2 minute minor called on the ice was the right call. incidental contact with the head as he is making a shoulder to body hit. Had he raised and led with the Shoulder I would say suspension but I don't see that being the case in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
