@Guest – I disagree with your assessment & I believe that Jean Morin would too. Orlov lost is cool but there was a season’s worth of frustration there. The officials concerned could’ve assessed a game misconduct but they took the shove for face value….in the heat of the moment, stupid move, 10 minutes, it’s over.
I hope that your assessment of this situation came because you watched the game in its entirety and not just a 1 minute clip. An indefinite suspension is the most absurd suggestion I’ve heard thus far. I’m thankful that folks like you only have to make decisions in the McDonald’s drive thru line.

Yeah same here, but from what I saw last night, he is becoming a jerk. It’s only a matter of time till someone straightens him out.

I’m thinking that based on this guy’s screen name (icecop62), he is a wanna be ref who didn’t have thick enough skin and was sent off the ice crying but a big mean old Russian.

You apparently don’t understand hockey or heat of the moment reactions. I mean, seriously? I’m sure most players have said far worse to refs. Should Chimmer be suspended for slamming the gate to the bench repeatedly the other day when he was chirping at the ref?

I no secrect that Russian players has a history and reputatin for being the most disrepectfull of the game officials, Alex’s “you piece of shit” comment on HBO’s 24/7 series is anouther example.

If the guy had been “doing his job”, the slew foot would have been called and the rest wouldn’t have happened.
Also – “suspended indefinitely”? “Counseling?” For that? Someone doesn’t understand how hockey works.

He’s starting to get a rep for taking cheap shots on Caps players. Don’t see enough Canes games to see if he does it to other teams also.

It was just a 10 minute misconduct. You can get a 10 minute game misconduct at anytime. They just say 10 minutes to put a time frame on it. He was only escorted to the dressing room because there were less than 10 minutes left in the period. He came back for the 3rd.

You’re a moron. “Personal problems with the ref”? I’m sorry, does Dima actually know that ref or have a history with him? Seriously doubtful considering he’s a rookie and this was his first penalty. Suspended indefinitely? Really? Soooo, Skinner should get what for having a history of cheap shots then? Lifetime ban?
