Vancouver is self imploding.
Vancouver is self imploding.
Vancouver has been horrible, but it's only the beginning of the season. Every good team has to fight through adversity, so who knows what will happen. I can't believe they are doing this bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of two things happen: They go on a ridiculous winning streak, or Luongo starts getting benched and Schneider takes over and the team starts winning.
nice sucker punch previous to that, and then the pushing the fan. i love how malholtra was quoted as saying something like the fan crossed the line. rypien, you are a puke for what you did, and malholtra is just as bad for tryin to justify it
I'm gonna go with 5+ games, with the potential for more. I'll let you know after I watch The View.

Officials should be reprimanded for failing to apply rule 23.7
At least Vigneault was smart enough to keep that scrub on the bench during the 3rd. And F you too Malhotra, so I can't cheer if an opposing player gets tossed for being a d-bag?Any player or non-playing Club personnel who physically interferes
with the spectators, becomes involved in an altercation with a
spectator, or throws any object at a spectator, shall automatically incur
a game misconduct penalty and the Referee shall report all such
infractions to the Commissioner who shall have full power to impose
such further penalty as he shall deem appropriate.
Kudos to the fan for "doing his job". thats what is expected when you sit within earshot of the bench. fan 1 Van 0. We don't know how much jawwing he was doing before the push, I would bet quite a bit.
Rypien won't get much because there was no swing just a push.
I can easily see where he will say he saw his arms "swinging" out of the corner of his eye and he was "coming over the rail" so I reacted on instinct. He will get a token 3-5 games.
I don't condone what the player did but I can see it happen that way.
