Edmonton Oilers prospect Martin Marincin gets the most inappropriate sort of revenge: after American forward Jason Zucker makes a bit of a late hit on a Slovakian, Marincin pretty much elbows Zucker in the face at full speed while the puck is on the other side of the rink.

Is this where we’re supposed to cheer for how Marincin is displaying “toughness” and shades of the North American game?

Grapes would be proud.
Keep your fucking head up son!
In theory, there is little difference between practice and theory, but in practice there is!
Headshot rules protect the stupid. If players like that get concussed out of hockey, that’s evolution.

He’ll be lucky to not be out for the tournement, knowing the IIHF’s draconean hit-to-the-head policies.
Mike Weber: Free to roam the ice and take stupid boarding penalties once more.
Sabres top-line center: Rob Niedermayer. Yes, you read that right.
Draconian? Protecting the head is one place where the IIHF is out in front of North America in a good way.

I didn’t say it was a bad thing.

Ah. Draconian typically indicates the writer feels the punishment is too severe.

I define it as “Severe punishement” without the “too”
Mike Weber: Free to roam the ice and take stupid boarding penalties once more.

The very definition of draconian
means excessive!

Yep, they sure are good at punishing the result rather than the action.

Three games. Just reported by the TSN folks on Twitter a minute ago. Should be showing up on TSN.ca shortly.

Correction: three games on top of the automatic one, for four total. His tournament’s over, unless they make the gold/bronze-medal game.

Well, if Slovakia plays the QF (which is almost a certainty) and wins it, he’ll be available for the gold/bronze-medal game, but that’s the only way. The 5th-place game would be Game #4 of his suspension, so those are the only placement games he could participate in.
