Jeff Hutchins - Banned for 4 games

[Phil Mitchell]

Jeff Hutchins has been banned for four games (checking to the head) - he's not even allowed to coach from the bench
It relates to an incident against Edinburgh Capitals last night

But there was no mention on the game stats/summary last night of any penalty against Hutchins

Presume it was an incident missed by all concerned in stripes on the night, and reviewed at Caps' insistence.

That's the thing with the EIHL match "reports", they're not really "reports", just really just someone looking at the game sheet and fleshing it out with a few words. Favourite phrases like "went nap" and "firing them ahead" feature a lot. I assume it's the same guy (or girl) all year. They'd just benefit from even a little bit of a clue as to what actually went off at the actual game, which the game sheet doesn't always tell you.

At 1min in..



He appears to step into the check, and it looks pretty bad.

Jeepers, that's a bad "check".
Quite right to be banned.

Ouch!!

From behind too. He's lucky it was only 4!!

Difficult to tell from the video.
Head was down, but it was late and from behind.
That's Hutchins for you.
4 games about right, can't say much more on that poor footage.
Lets hope the settle it at centre ice.

Doubt there's anyone in the Caps team that will make him "pay the piper".

And that is part of Edinbrough's problem.

That Les Reaney guy might help in that respect if he ever turns up.
