Hockey|Tappara’s Juuso Nykänen received four games ban on Kiekko-Espoo’s Miro Keskitalo. Many consider the punishment too light.
SM league On Sunday, the disciplinary delegation gave a four-game ban on Tappara striker Juuso Nykänen.
Pow came from Saturday’s situation where Nykänen hit his elbow in the puck-Espoo Miro Keskitalo on. Keskitalo suffered significant injuries to the head and face and can no longer play this season.
The central reason for the judgment is that the disciplinary team did not consider the beat of Nykänen to be deliberate, but the arm’s swing was the result of being left behind himself and the side.
The discipline decision also argues that Nykänen himself said that the act was unintentional.
The league’s discipline line has gained a lot of criticism lately, and Nykänen’s case was no exception.
For example, the four -match collapse has been fucked in X, for example, and has been regarded as a too gentle punishment.
Ramble There is also an expert on the lines Raimo Summanen. According to him, the penalty received by Nykänen is a sign of a broader problem that plagues the disciplinary decisions made by the SM League.
According to Summanen, there is a huge problem that disciplinary policies rely on speculation about whether or not a criminal player has been intentional or not.
He recalls that for the recipient of a bump, it is at its worst about things that affect life.
“The player’s explanation should not be of any meaning, but that act itself should be analyzed. It cannot go to swinging that intent card because players can communicate something completely differently than they do in practice on the ice,” Summanen says.
Miro Keskitalo’s season is sure to be in the package.
Summanen emphasizes that this is not just a Nykänen beat. According to him, the league teams are very worried about both the judge line of the series and the discipline.
“This is culturally broken. Discipline disagreement is revealed in these intent issues, and the incompetence is covered with this hell of a liturgy, which is a pretty shocking blur.”
“Hell -like liturgy,” Summanen refers to the long written descriptions of disciplinary decisions about what has happened in the situation under discussion.
“This has been going on for many years, and there are the same people there. I have to ask that it would be time for discipline to be renewed. The question is why not give something else.”
Second According to Summanen, the problem that plagues the decisions of discipline is the inconsistency of punishment. There seems to be no logical line between the severity of the acts and the lengths of the ban.
He raises HIFK as an example Petr Kodytekin In December, a seven -game ban, which snaps from kicking the opponent in the handshake.
Raimo Summanen considers Nykänen’s case as part of a broad structural problem.
It seems mischievous that the pan -shared of the work that caused severe injury is clearly lighter.
Summanen estimates that discipline is trying to invite the act of the act by invading a certain signal of the league and hockey to the following.
“What kind of message would it give to sponsors and the parents of junior hockey, for example, if the decision would say that this was a defenseless dude with an elbow to the hospital? The sponsor would say that they do not want to be involved in that.”
“I think you don’t want to say it out loud that this happens in this sport.”
Poleaxe And Kiekko-Espoo will face each other in a crucial match on Monday night.
The winning team will continue in the quarter-finals in the SM League playoffs.
If Tappara disappears, Nykänen will suffer the rest of his ban as the next season’s regular season begins.
