Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs

[lucafen4]

Game 1 Takeaways:
- how didn't the Leafs bench catch the offside quick enough to challenge?
- refs were bad for both teams, didn't decide the game
- Matthews was completely MIA
- Dermott needs to see more mins, especially on the PK
- Andersen should have been pulled/rested at 4-1
- PP looked really good but wasn't good enough
- Leafs as a whole weren't as bad as the scoreline suggests, were a bit unlucky
- Kadri was a big factor and we'll miss him for a game or two
- Marchand grows into a bigger piece of shit, each day of his life
- Babs has work to do

Assuming Kadri is suspended, who draws in? Martin or Johnsson? My heart wants to see Marleau moved to C and Martin dressed to cause havoc but my mind says it should be Nylander moved to C and dress Johnsson. What do you guys think?

I think this is the exact reason they did not trade Martin. I think he's in and the over under on him for hits should be 7 in game 2

I'd say Martin dresses but I doubt he has much impact on the outcome.

Kadri just kissed Wingels and I wouldn't be surprised if it cost him a game.

Do you think there is a chance it costs him more than 1 game? Repeat offender?

he's not considered a repeat offender and considering Wingels wasn't hurt, Kadri should get 1 game. If they focus on intent... he might get 2. but it feels like 1.

A Player is considered a repeat offender for 18 months following his most recent incident that resulted in a suspension. His status as a repeat offender in this category is used to determine the amount of salary forfeited should he receive another suspension.

It is important to note that even if a Player is not defined as a repeat offender, his past history may come into consideration when determining future Supplemental Discipline.

Okay... by definition he is not a 'repeat offender' but he has a history and both of the previous suspensions were multi-game suspensions.

Does anyone know what time the NHL generally hold their Player Safety hearings? And what do you guys expect them do give Kadri? I'm anticipating 1 game, maybe 2. Anything more than 2 is going overboard in my opinion. And call me crazy, but I wouldn't be shocked if it is just the maximum fine with no suspension, NHL Player Safety has just been so inconsistent this season.

That inconsistency is the scary part...

I am guessing since there was no injury and wingels remained in the game it will be 1 game... but its anyones guess!

Agreed. I'd give him a second game to make it hurt a little more (home game), but it'll likely be one because he mostly missed his intended target. The intent behind that hit was appalling.

Listing to the guys on HockeyCentral... they are talking about Kadri's hit on Rick Nash... was there another questionable hit by Kadri in this game?

Kadri had a knee-on-knee with Nash61 in the third, which appeared more accidental than anything. Obviously, nothing came of it.

Kadri was looking for trouble all game

Looks like Wingels is going to miss game 2. I'd be curious if that effects things and maybe adds a second game.

The guys also mentioned the hit on Ovy in last year's playoffs.... Do you think the NHL can make a decision without considering these as well then?

the interesting thing with this is... was Boston even planning on playing Wingels in game two? Could be a chess move for them...say he is not playing when they have a potential healthy Riley Nash that can come back or maybe even Donato or Gionta..
