Another Night, Another Batch of Headshots

[RGM81]

The Bruins are at it again, this time Halifax "favourite" Brad Marchand:

http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/...?urn=nhl-wp425 - Puck Daddy is his usual whimsical self.

And Dany Heatley decided to take a run at Steve Ott in the same game that Doug Murray went after two Stars' players' heads. http://www.defendingbigd.com/2011/3/...me-media-scrum

Ott teed off in the post-game media scrum as thus:

"When you're used to being on the other end and being suspended like I've been, it's pretty evident where this stuff should go."
Ott discounted any talk that the hit from Murray on his fellow countryman and on Vincour might have been accidents and said, "He knew what he was doing."
"I don't care if Heatley makes $10 million or Murray, it's time to get this out of the game as fast as we can. We've got guys who will be icing heads now. You only have one brain so let's, honestly, starting figuring something out.

Yeah, Marchand's hit was dirty. He needs a few games in the pressbox anyway. Killing the team lately with lazy and undisciplined play.

Lol:

Rue the day when one of the greatest cheap-shot artists the game has ever witnessed complaining about head-shots.

POT, KETTLE, BLACK

Maybe Ott would prefer to be ambushed, cross-checked in the face, speared, slew-footed, and hit from behind in his own fashion.......

Just asking

Getting rid of this garbage might make players like Ott obsolete, either that or they'll change their game.

He might be guilty of being hypocritical - but I'll agree with him. Rules / Fines / Suspensions should have nothing to do with your salary, or goal total..... and these hits to the head need to go.

Update: both have telephone interviews scheduled - Heatley today, Marchand tomorrow. Translation - no more than 5 games, if anything at all.

I see both getting 2 Games max, but I also believe both only warrant that level of punishment.

[gatesnapper]

my guess is 4 games for Marchand.

haven't seen the Heatley hit yet.

[Roaring70s]

Marchand = dirty play - should be suspended!

[RGM81]

Dany Heatley suspended two games.
