I see Nickerson has been sacked by MK Lightening. What a way to end your career especially as Nickerson has been good at his charity work over the years raising substantial amounts of money.

It's a shame in a way, he was at least a character, but there's nothing else MK could do. www.eliteleague.co.uk/view/eliteicehockey/latest-news/news_498966This bit seems quite pointed: Will no doubt be acted on with the usual glacial speed.

That's fine but I hope Guildford take action against the stupid fan who was shouting abuse at him and on the other hand you could say how did he manage to get near to the player, security certainly wasn't looking very sharp. I must say the staff at MK are VERY strict.

Rosehill suspended again....5 games for throwing his stick when walking off the ice in Sheffield. Ejected on a 5+game for checking to the head (which wasn't a check to the head) and when he's virtually under the stand he throws it.
REALLY Dops ? This is getting rather a bit silly now ! 🙄

The check to the head looks harsh to me, and while throwing the stick is a bit silly, did it go in the crowd? Isn't there just that big empty space at that end of the Tin Shed?

Even DOPS admit it wasn’t a check to the head,but a possible 5+game for interference. I’ve never even seen one of those I don’t think....ever ? This seems very harsh to me. All there is down there where he threw the stick is that big black curtain. You don’t even see the stick go,it could be just a golf swing. Dops certainly seem out to get Rosehill. #unfair

Would Manchester be able to appeal or do you think he’s punished as a repeat offender . Looks a harsh call but then again look at some of the stupid calls we’ve had lately especially Billingsley.

Do not understand this at all, no more than maybe a high stick penalty, no visible threat to swinging of stick in exit way, no cussing or swearing at officials,fans etc. This is clearly a bias towards Rosehill and the Storm, Smiths/Simmns footprint all over this one. Should be a huge social media back lash on EIHL over this one. It is clearly so bias that all teams should be concerned (except Sheffield) as this could be them and may have been already.If this remains in place why if it is an off ice incident is the 5 game ban not personnel such as Nickerson which allows Storm to dress another import. Sure seems like a lot of double standards in play here.

I'm amazed the 2 hands and stick to the neck, with no attempt to play the puck, isn't worth a ban in itself. But hey. Rosehill could have handled it better, he was 99% back in the room, and he's been done once for stick throwing this season. Looks like a case of reputation before the crime, but if that's the case, you have to be more careful. You get a reputation for a reason.

Steve Lee suspended two games. Based on my opinion last night I'll stick by what I said. Therefor the ban is a joke. Wont go too mad until I see the video though. Happy to hold my hands up if i'm proved wrong.

Video now up on league site,I still think steve's unlucky to get a ban. I think he expected to ride Fitz into the board once Fitz got in front of Lee, and the pushing motion is caused after they got separated. I've seen a lot worse checks go unpunished.

Clear example of calling the outcome rather than any offence. The explanation they give defies physics.

Wherever you look on social media/websites the vast majority outside of Steelers fans reckon it was unjust.

Wherever you look on social media/websites the vast majority outside of Steelers fans reckon it was unjust. It was unjust. Fitzgerald cuts across Lee and starts to go down and all Stevie does is lean into Fitzgerald. There’s no dangerous play there. I don’t get this “caused injury” or not thing. A perfectly good check could cause injury, but the checker shouldn’t be penalised for it if he’s done nothing illegal.

The explanation says Fitzgerald starts to turn in on Lee, who responds by putting his arm out. What is he supposed to do, just let him come right past him? It’s the inference that Lee should expect Fitzgerald could get injured that’s ridiculous to me. Nobody in that situation would be thinking that. If Lee had forcefully and deliberately pushed I might see the intent but that’s not what happened.

'Contact to opposing player through backside hand contact to pants'. - no wonder he got a 2 game ban !!

I think it’s the right call, lee’s unlucky but you can’t hit the numbers into the boards, if it’s an accident or not.

Don't think it was the right call ... And Fitz has miraculously recovered. What a surprise.

If it was the other way around and Fitzgerald had boarded Lee there would have been an outcry for a 20 game ban. It was awkward and unintentional but 2 games is right.

Sauve video now up on Elite site. Can't argue with the call. Reckless. Sauve had time to get round him and defend the play properly

Yep can't argue with the Sauve call. I thought he was a little bit lucky to only get two games actually.
The one i didn't agree with was the ban Bakker from Manchester got. Thought he was very unlucky,can't see a great deal if anything wrong with that hit.

And does it matter if he's a big man, either elevation is ok or not.
