theflower Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 just beautiful, you would think the nhl might reprimand the refs for the horrible job they have been doing this year and instead here we are paying the ultimate price for their idiocy!!! well done NHL !!

Spider-Man NL Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 In my opnion those refs should be fired for the crap they pull on saturday night........I'm really proud of Markov, he knew what the refs were doing was wrong and he stood up for his team mates......if I was on the ice I would have done the same thing.

Mont Royale Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Definitely the end result of referee incompetence. I wonder if Theo or anybody else will see fines because of their post-game remarks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 How about suspending the refs for the horrible job they did on Saturday night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33_ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Shoving an official is simpyl idiotic. I don't care that the official deserved it, but you don't respond by shoving the ref. It's just stupid. And if I'm right, he didn't even shove a ref, but a linesman. Sure, the refs screwed up, but that doesn't excuse Markov.

simonus Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 if markov appeals, doesnt he get to play while appeal is considered? if so, maybe he can drag it out so that he plays tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafs Suck Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Remember when Cujo did it in the 00 playoffs vs Ottawa? He wasn't suspended. All I can say about Markov is this, he shoulda hit him harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOHABSGO22 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It's b.s. we can't afford to loose Markov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
option+ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Not surprised. Making contact with a ref will always get you a suspension. Not saying that the ref didn't deserve it, but Markov should know better than that. Personally, I'm glad it's only 3 games. Gordie Dwyer got 23 games for abusing an official, Tom Lysiak got 20, André Roy fot 13 games in 2002 and the Rocket famously got 15 in 1955. I was expecting 5-7, but hoping for 2-3. Sucks that those games are against Ottawa, Buffalo and LA, though. Not the easiest schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

option+ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Question - if we appealed, would Markov be eligible to play against until the the appeal is heard? Because then he could probably play against Ottawa. Losing Markov for any 3 games is a disaster, but losing him for the Ottawa game is pretty much worse case scenario...

He can't skate, he's a goof. Either way, players have gotten disiplined before for "accidential" bumping the offical. Joseph was no different.

habscout Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm not sure if he can appeal. Even if he can, since there appears to be no video on the incident, the league will side with the official. It's too bad this was spawned by a bad call, but Markov should have known better than to grab/shove the official. Swear at the guy in Russian until you're hoarse, but you can't touch the guy without repercussion. It's too bad this has happened, because at a time when the team is struggling, they really need him. I guess Mark Streit is going to have to play, and get some decent ice time, because Julien would be mad to give all the ice time to 5 defenceman for 3 straight games.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 From Sportnet: Andrei Markov suspended three games by NHL for shoving linesman posted November 28 @ 13:29, EST MONTREAL (CP) - Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov has been suspended for three games for shoving a linesman. The incident was written up in the referees' report of a game Saturday in Toronto where the Maple Leafs won 4-3 on a power-play goal in overtime. Markov's offence took place after the game-ending goal. Under the rules, an automatic three-game ban applies and Markov has the right to appeal. The Canadiens' next game is Tuesday in Ottawa.

habschris Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 What the habs really need is to upgrade the defensive core. They are average at best. If that means calling people up, fine. If it means making trades even better, this core group of defense has been average for years. Untouchables are Komi, Dandy (4 year deal) and Markov. Try to trade the rest. I'm sure i'll hear about this but it's an easy scapegoat to blame everything on the goalies. Look at the majority of goals scored this year, slam dunks. Theo has been poor and average several times this year but the defense is poor. Rivet: Playing better but is back to his old form, losing 1 on 1 battles, turning the puck over. The last time he played well was his contract year, i think he is in another contract year. Time for him to move on. Souray: i have no idea what he is doing this year, if it's his personal life nothing but time will fix it. the only D with any trade value. Misses the net way too often, loses 1 on1 battles and is very slow. Bouillon: A #7 d-man on any other team in the NHL, he has been waived by 2 other teams. He does work hard and is tough against the boards. Other then that he has average speed, passing shot and is rerally bad 1 on1 in front of the net. The D needs a tough stay at home d-man to play with Markov. A good skater and passer to play with Komi, and a good 2 way D to play with Dandy. Then we will see how the goaltending is. This team will never go anywhere with the current D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
option+ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 No way we move Bouillon, or Rivet. Rivet is playing better than 80% of D-men in the NHL. I don't care if he is in a contract year, moving a guy playing at that level is lunacy. Yes, I agree he's been playing worse lately, but so has the entire team. It's not like Rivet is the one holding us back. Same goes for Bouillon. Yeah, he's been waived in the past, that was the "old NHL" where a defenceman's worth was judged by how much they clutched and grabbed. Bouillon is finally playing in a league where his abilities are considered assets. I think we're one #2 D-man away from having a really solid blueline. Then Rivet doesn't have to be a #2; Bouillon doesn't have to be a #3... and Streit doesn't have to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I wouln't move Bouillon. What he gives for what he is paid is extremely valuable. Rivet has been playing well, but is tradeable (performence in link with salary). Great value players (like Bouillon) are a pearl in this new CBA.

gohabsgo252006 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Suspensions are unpaid aren't they, therefore...this 3 game suspension will save us a couple of grand under teh cap....and give markov a rest...that's the only bright side to wiggle out of tihs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Markov should not have touched the linesman it shows bad discipline. But since he did I wish he had got his moneys worth and gone after Pollak not a linesman. The linesman who he should have gone after was the one who made the 2 many men on the ice penalty 2 games again against the leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
