Why no Suspension To Brody Silk of Sudbury

Just wondering in the fantasy world of David Branch how Brody Silk of the Wolves can take 15 strides and crosscheck a General
in the face and get only a 5 minute major penalty.that should have been a match penalty and he should have gotten the 10 game
suspension that kyle hope and mark petaccio(sic) got for head check infractions.
just another example of Branch's selective discipline i guess?
its a horrid thing to say but deliberate knee on knee hits seem to be okay in Branch's world, and the Gens seem to be on the
receiving end of many of those.ah Branch isn't he lovely?

Maybe they haven't reviewed it yet. Thomas will get a suspension for the match and that hasn't been posted yet

Silk will be suspended.. he has to be. That is exactly the type of incident that they are trying to get out of the league. I realize he played Sunday and I'm not really sure why. But if Brody Silk is not suspended it is an absolute travesty and if I where Chris Depiero I would have a MAJOR issue with David Branch especially when we see 3 of our players face major suspensions for incidents of this type.

With regards to Thomas, it's just a question as to how many games he'll get. I will be honest and say I didn't see the incident as my head was turned up the ice. I just saw the aftermath.

Still no indication of anything coming down for Silk - I would say there is a good chance nothing will now.

Here is another hit from behind and it has been confirmed there will be no suspension, I thought the league was taking a stance. www.youtu.be/LZDj-3dhqH0

The Stance is "Absolutely no need for a suspension for these kinds of hits (unless delivered by an Oshawa Generals Player)"

In all seriousness though, if you watch that clip Heard quite clearly follows the guy into the boards with absolutely no attempt to stop or pull himself up - it is a clear attempt to injure. Makes the blood boil! Sure would like the League to take the fans through why this one was okay - and more importantly tell the players why this is okay and others are not.

Well put and I fully agree!

i agree also

I throw my hands in the air, this knee on knee WASN'T EVEN CALLED A PENALTY!!! This is getting to be too much!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7kixGt4t9Y

Oh, so because we were playing the "BULLS" that type of play is ok eh? Sorry but I don't agree and if the shoe was on the other foot on that play and we stuck out the knee we would get called for a penalty minimum if not more. The players are going to get confused as to what's ok and what's not due to lack of consistency in what's being called. The only thing that seems to be consistent is Branch keeps hammering the Generals

Ya that's what I mean. Those games are always one sided. And it's never the gens side...

It looks like the Gens aren't part of the good old boys club who gets away with all the crap and we get nailed!!

UGENS(Karon)

When a team is given over 40 games in suspensions we are looked upon as a dirty untalented group.

The minor stuff turns into major stuff because of our reputation , this is mainly because of not skating and puck persuit

If you check and see who is getting penalties or drawing penalties you have more of a chance of being hooked ,cross checked

hit from behind , if you are constantly chasing the puck carrier you tend to be frustrated more

Sub standard coaches resort to tactics like that!

My point was that I don't think it's happening only when we play the Bulls, we get shafted playing all sorts of different teams.
