OccamsRazor Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 And yet no penalty for the cross check in the back in front of the net....if he was wearing another jersey he would have just got fined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is this hit less dangerous than Kerfoot's??? https://www.nhl.com/video/kerfoot-suspended-two-games/t-277440360/c-4678894 He only got two games. And McAvoy gets only one game for this hit??? Which seems way more violent. https://www.nhl.com/video/mcavoy-suspended-one-game/t-277440360/c-68135703 And this one an interference by Hyman and he only gets 2 games. So HTF does Farabee get 3 goddamn games for that hit???? Maroon only gets 2 games for this interference.... https://www.nhl.com/video/maroon-suspended-two-games/t-277440360/c-56373803 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So what was Perreault's injury? Not a head shot. Had the wind knocked out of him? ... any thing else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure he has always been made of glass. One thing is certain i don't know how they will get back to scoring goals. This is overkill.....way over especially for a first time offender. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 This is complete ********. It’s not the suspension, it’s the inconsistency that drives me bonkers. Farabee is a first time offender. 3 games. Borosh!thead is a multiple offender with multiple suspensions AND HE OPENLY SAID HE WOULD NOT CHANGE after his latest suspension. What a ****** week to be a Flyers fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ruxpin Posted December 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm with @brelic about the inconsistency. But I also have a problem with the suspension. In fact, I had a problem with the major penalty. It was late. Yes. It was interference. Yes. It was not charging, and it was NOT a head shot. I don't think he even got the head on the follow-through. I'm not going to sit here and say stuff like "Perrault needs to look where he's going." But it's a crap overkill on the penalties on this. There is absolutely no good reason whatsoever for it. Tell me how this hit was different from the hit on Konecny. Allowing for a moment that Borowiecki didn't make initial contact with TK's head. He hit him late. I'd also argue that the initial point of contact was the head. So, late hit on the Flyer with the puck not there. Head is initial point of contact. Flyer has concussion. Player has twice been suspended for dangerous hits to the head: Not even a god damned 2 minute minor. No comment from the league, let alone a suspension. Flyer makes late hit on a player and the puck is not there. Head is NOT the initial point of contact and might never have been hit at all. Perrault gets a concssion. Flyer has never been suspended or even accused of a dirty hit previously. 2 min. 5 min. Game Misconduct. 3-game suspension. Someone attempt to argue with me with a straight face and tell me this league isn't utter bull####. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH1FlyersFan Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The League clearly still has a bias against the Flyers. There is no consistency or fairness. There is no equal application of or treatment under the law. Just look at TK. Hey Bettman, Flyers Lives Matter!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Classic rookie mistake. The league had to nip all the shoulder-to-chest hitting right in the bud. If he has any brains, Farabee will use this time to think about what he did and know there’s no place in this long, storied, and honorable league for juvenile antics like that. Late hit. Interference. 2 minutes. Wtf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Well I hope this teaches that goon Farabee about fair play in the league. Tellin ya.... Farabee makes Gudas look like an annual Lady Byng candidate!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Down Goes Brown needs to update his suspension table, because from what I'm seeing, the only thing the NHL is consistent about is their inconsistency...

Someone attempt to argue with me with a straight face and tell me this league isn't utter bull####. Here's a hit that I think is even closer to the Farabee hit. Here's some context for you. The hit came 0.65 seconds after the puck was gone - meeting the league's threshold for a late hit (0.6 seconds). The Flames were leading 8-5 with 22 seconds left in the game. The game was a pissing match between the two teams, and there is a predatory nature to it. It is shoulder to chest. No penalty. No fine. No suspension. How is this materially different from the Farabee hit? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer4ever Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The Flyers should trade for Sam Bennett and Mark Boroweicki. Farabee was not drafted to fight or be the team tough guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know....I usually do not buy into the "conspiracy" theory stuff but I'm not sure there is another explanation at this point?! 3 game suspension is utter NON-SENSE! I think it's time for our GM to address this issue in public. I think the TK hit from the other night is a PRIME example....how that hit gets zero attention (not even a 2 min minor!) and this gets a 2/5 3 game?!.....just bizarre. Why would the league "target" and be bias against one of the top grossing teams in the game?!... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Good for Farabee. Im happy to see him stand up for himself, and his teammates. Finally someone on this team shows some passion and anger. Maybe if some other players on this team did their job and took care of business, Farabee wouldnt have to. I agree the suspension is a joke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 1. Targets the head as primary point of contact - CHECK. 2. Leaves his feet to make the hit - CHECK. 3. Wears orange and black - NO CHECK. No suspension, no fine, no review. Nothing to see here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call out the League on its biased inconsistency. I don't think it is "bias" as much as inconsistency and incompetence. Fans tend to see "bias" against their teams, because they see their teams more often. For example, here's a Rags fan commenting on the lack of a penalty on Ellis: Here's an interesting "survey" perspective from bleacherreport back in 2012: https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2012/8/2/3215732/nhl-bias-survey Quote Put another way: large minorities -- sometimes even majorities -- of fans believe the NHL is biased against their favorite team despite almost nobody else throughout the rest of the league agreeing with them.
