What a crock of shit that is!!!! 15 games is way too much but considering the amount of National attention it received it doesn't surprise me.  Moose fans will be happy.  An intentional cross check to the face gets 6 games and this accident gets 15?......only in the Q |

No whining. ;D
If it makes you feel better, No one so far has said it's enough or too light. All have been surprised at how harsh they were. As I mentioned on MooseTalk, it may have been the media attention and the pressure it put on the league that did him in.
I'm definitely not happy about the situation. Johnston being punished for his actions is fine. But I wish the incident never happened in the first place.

Absolutely Reesor....I wouldn't wish any kid in this league any harm and Ross deserved to be suspended but 15 games is the Q ensuring no one in the country can say they were too light. They would rather be accused of being too heavy than giving him a proper number of games. A terrible, unfortunate accident that I also wish never happened but 15 games is crazy!!!  |

Bursey was the one that got 6 games for abuse of the official. I always thought that was a bad call ... no way Haas should get less than Bursey ... but he did. |

15 games is way too much.........Moose fans will be happy though, and we won't have to put up with any of the "league is against us" crap, this time around.......  ......too bad for Johnston, who was having a very good year......with Moncton being upset in the 1st round, he might not play until next season. |

Moncton being upset in round 1!!!! WTF??? That's a terrible thing to say you troll! ;D With people giving secrets away here, it will be easy......all the opposition have to do, is a couple borderline offenses to the Cats players that go uncalled..,this will get them off their game, start whining at refs, and doing things out of frustration......they will take a few penalties and fall apart, resulting in an upset..........add that to below average goaltending, and missing one player making them a mid pack team, and I see an easy upset.....  |

I heard they are gonna award Moncton an extra 4 points/2 wins for the games he missed, and start the playoffs over, with Moncton in 4th. |
