DC_1908:
looks like Wood is having an issue with Captains this year. . .
This fight looked way better full speed, but some good shots either way.
Worder if NJ would trade Wood and Mojo for Bura and Connolly. . .?

2. In no way, shape or form, should that get a suspension, even in a girls 12&under rec league
3. Looks like Peterson took some hints from Cindy on how to embellish

I could see them calling roughing (like Maaco said), but not suspension worthy. All he did was throw him down. What was the two game suspension for? Was there even a penalty called on the play?

I watched it again and Matheson doesn't really body slam the guy. Peterson was off balance and Matheson just sort of pushes him to the ice. It's not Matheson's fault the guy was off balance. It's not like it picked him up and slammed him or even road him to ice driving his elbow into the guy's face.
This is called a good solid check payback for making me look bad skating circles around me 5 seconds ago.

I agree. At most a 2 minute roughing. BTW the league called it interference/unsportsmanlike like. Wtf is happening to this game?

So I watched the DPS propaganda explanation of this suspension.
What was the injury to Peterson? The DPS video is much better as slow mo at seeing the hit. Peterson did not even tap his head on the ice. How was he injured? Did he get a shoulder injury? Did he miss a game?
Getting the wind knocked out of you or getting your bell rung is not an injury (i'm not talking full on concussion here). I realize we want to protect players and especially the head, but there was no trauma to the head on this play.
The DPS video says "this is not a hockey play". Um....yes it is. This is what happens when you are smaller and faster and skate circles around people.....eventually the bigger stronger guys get a chance to catch you.
Are we going to make rules that say the big strong guys are no longer allowed to check the smaller faster guys?
I am not advocating unnecessary violence, but I want my hockey back
