I'm staggered that we havn't asked for a review considering the injury caused. In the old days I wouldn't complain as Id expect somebody to take care of it on the ice next game. These days I doubt that will happen either. Even if we didn’t request a review, shouldn’t it automatically be reviewed because there was an injury?

I know any checking to the head/from behind penalty is reviewed aswell as game and match penalties. It could well say any injury but there was no penalty called on the play so no idea where it stands. We can only asume it doesn't as there has been nothing from DOPS.

And previous form too between Connolly and Deutsch wasn’t there ? I seem to remember punches to the head while on the ice.

Poor "hit" by a player who's already been suspended for "reckless" deeds this season. That should be a few.
On a separate note, Tousignant doesn't half embellish those love taps Jones gave him, doesn't he?

Good it's about time we had a player who sells the ref and gets the calls.. for too long we've had too honest players. Be nice if Tousi is a sacratini type player

Now that would be a great signing,Sacratini was a awesome signing for us,wind up merchant who could score for fun, he looks to be a very good signing.

Sacratini was unique as he was a horrible player to play against. But scored goals and never over stepped the mark like we have Connelly doing these days..

Sam Jones give him a shove in the chest, his head rocks back in line with his upper body and he snaps back straight. If you're calling that embellishment then we need to start calling every player who lets go of their stick and shakes their hand after they've been slashed.

The slashing situation is becoming all to frequent across hockey these days!

Big tough hockey player like him should be able to take a little shove in the chest without all that. Maybe he was on the wind up, maybe not, but we know the EIHL are looking.

You referring to the elbow to the head that DOPS suspended Jones for yesterday? Not sure any of us could take that 'little shove' and stop our head snapping straight back after Jones elbow from what was shown in the DOPS video

So has Marjamaki got away with that obvious head hit then ?

Looks like DOPS have less than 24 hours to act according to their rules: "For reviews which take place following Sunday games or mid-week games, DOPS will release information pertaining to those reviews within 72-hours of the game’s completion." www.eliteleague.co.uk/dops

I'm genuinely astonished. Target the head with your shoulder/elbow while skating in on the player at speed, bounce it off the glass, 5+G at the time is enough. Raise an elbow while standing in front of another player, 1 game ban. I'm not sure how safe David Goodwin feels as a player today.

Going off the footage that AVFTB have posted, how can that not be ban worthy? Jones’ ban was very harsh in my opinion, but DOPS have made that decision.
Comparing Jones’ actions to Marjamaki’s, if DOPS don’t take any action against Cardiff then, quite frankly, it stinks.
Jeff Hutchins has put an interesting tweet out stating corruption...

It’s difficult to argue with Hutchins,I think he’s spot on. The EIHL certainly do leave themselves wide open to ridicule of being biased and corrupt at times. I’ve said it many times,this league is a sham !

Frankly, and while I wouldn't normally condone that kind of behaviour, I can easily see his point in this case. It's inexplicable.

He’s right in either case.
After today, no fan of sound mind can wonder why the league seems unable to properly expand its presence in our country. Any serious businessperson or government funding analyst who could meaningfully grow our sport would take one short glance at the deep-rooted, incestuous, amateur-hour, under-the-table wheeler-dealing network of the league’s operational model and laugh their heads off in amazement that a single supporter still buys a match ticket.
The reality is that the current dynamic formed the foundations of the league itself at its inception, because there was no external funding to be found. The league is and always has been at the mercy of a rotating boys’ club who enjoy zero accountability, zero auditing and zero threat of consequences for backroom dealing. Who is there to expose it? Who would even want to, knowing that they would happily allow the UK game to disintegrate if the alternative was complete transparency you can expect in every other professional sport? As fans, we’re completely in thrall to the honour of some mid-range businessmen, and while some undeniably possess the integrity that encourages supporters, others seem born to sit on a board that answers only to itself. I’m speaking hyperbolically, of course, but I’m emphasising the extent of what *could* be happening at any given time without any way of knowing or changing it.
Put it this way: if it came out that hundreds of games had been fixed over the years, would it make the back pages of the nationals or would it be a clipping on the page after horse odds?
