Boogaard Poll

by BReynolds on Mar 6, 2010 12:44 PM CST

I have little time. As reported from Russo, and linked to in the previous post, Derek Boogaard looks likely to be suspended at some point today. The question is not "Does he deserve it," rather it is "How long doe she deserve?"

Here is the video:

And here is the poll:

Is it wrong...

That I don’t like his Goon style? Worst part of hockey

Percy Harvin is my dealer.

It is not wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Yeah he has a history, but...

Boogy lines up his hits well ahead of times (sometimes) as I think he did in this case. I feel the Flamer changed his path last second and knee to knee is the result. Boogy didn’t do it on purpose, but has to suffer the consequences. It’s not cheap like Brad May sucker punching a non-fighter…

Overreaction

The two games handed down today seem fair, I guess.

It didn’t look like he was aiming for that to happen, yet it did so there needs to be something. Five would have been unfairly excessive.

As for being a goon… yeah, I guess he is. But I really like it.

If Ovie only got two

for repeated knee to knees, slew foots, checks from behind, game misconducts, and actually injuring players, Boogy should get two, maybe even one. 24 is known for big hits and dropping the gloves, not playing dirty

Agreed.

Ovechkin had no prior suspensions. That is supposed to weigh in the decision.

But boogy

has been unfairly penalized in the past. not saying that happened here, ’cause he clearly went knee to knee, so the penalty and the suspension are fair, still he has recieved penalties in the past just for being too big.
