About This Page: This is a discussion on NHL Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. YouTube - Mats Sundin Shoves A Linesman
What the ****?
I don't think he was pushing him because he was mad at him or something and it's not like it was violent shove. Sundin had to be incredibly frustrated and exhausted right there, he just wanted to get off the ice and the linesman moved right in front of him. I'm not saying you should be allowed to push linesmen, but I don't think he should be punished or anything.
i was watching hnic and they did say he was really tired at the end of that shift and they (the hnic hosts) were assuming he didn't realize it was a linesman. now... if it was just because it was mats, they gave him the benefit of the doubt, i don't know. they also mentioned that the leafs are in such a bad spot right now, it had to be a mix of exhaustion/frustration.
