Near the end of the 2nd period after a shot by Hilbert, Okposo goes to the net and gets a penalty for a high stick on Luongo's mask. Catch the end of the video. If the Isles are seeing this, it should be sent to the NHL offices for review.

He may do something. Davidson was a Islander. Speaking of Davidson. He may have the longest goal in Islander history. And it was his only goal as an Islander too (Toronto).

MAB sucked, anyway.

Davison had only one shining moment (the longest goal) and that's it. what a lousy spear...but hey, Davison is a pretty lousy player

do they go back and when they see a dirty play do they evaluate it and punish if its that obvious?

looked more like a push than a pull-the-stick-back and spear, which is more of a jabbing motion. should have been a penalty.
problem is, Okposo was in a vulnerable position and given our history, I doubt anything happens.

Looks to me as if Okposo barely if at all made contact with Luongo.
wonder if Luongo did a Crosby-like pez-dispenser head-snap?

great work though.

If Okposo was Crosby, would Davison be looking at a 15 game suspension?

for that?
maybe 5 if it was crosby. I can't believe no news source showed that though.

honestly, that move is very common. defensemen place the blade of their stick against a players thigh and push. that was in between a spear and a push.

good point about fairness though, if that happened to mario Lemieux, the great one or pez-head Crosby, it would be a lead story.

Garth Snow emailed me to say they were aware of the spear and are addressing it. :thumbsup:

Good. Regardless of what the league might or might not do. The Islanders need to make a huge stink about this. This is our blue chipper prospect and the league needs to know that we won't stand for this sort of treatment. He may not merit "Crosby" protection, but if the league doesn't do anything about this then GArth needs to go ballistic, take the fine that comes and openly criticize Campbell and Bettman. They said nothing when Pock clearly was treated differently than Ruttu for the same infraction.

If Simon and Pock can be suspended, so can Davidson for what is CLEARLY A SPEAR!!! No other way to define it. He used the end of the stick blade to do this motion. You might see guys push with the stick, but at worst it is with the heel of the blade...not the tip of the blade.

I miss these :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: and want more of them

It's hockey you get hit
Okposo has yet to reach untouchable status.

Let him prove something before he is considered Wayne Gretsky.
So far he's like any other player in hockey.

To much worship here for possible potential
placed upon all these so called Islander no brainier
Future HOF's..

Who's that other one....... :selfhit:

Botta's blog...

Movie Day: Point Blank reader Nick sent us this video clip, alleging that Rob Davison speared Kyle Okposo during Islanders-Canucks on Monday after the Islander was called for a slash on Roberto Luongo. You make the call. Our call: when you slash another team’s captain and franchise, you pay the price. And Rob Davison is the kind of honest guy who’d be the first to tell you he doesn’t play enough for a suspension to have much of an impact.

Thanks for posting that Chris, but a spear is a spear and I have to disagree with you as to the 'conditions' of which the spear is done. The NHL must be consistent in it's enforcement of dangerous infractions, regardless of the players importance.
