Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nik Antropov was assessed two game misconduct penalties in overtime of a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The second penalty was for abuse of an official - which carries an automatic three game suspension.

Antropov slammed his stick against the boards, broke it...and tossed it at the Ref's. I don't care how bad of a call the penalty was, you don't toss your stick at a referee. That's an embarassment. I'm glad he was suspended.

He does not deserve 3 games based on the video.

You're right, he deserves more. You do not toss your stick at an official, it's that simple. Would a baseball player toss his bat at an umpire, and expect to not recieve a suspension? How about a basketball player throwing the ball at a referee? This is professional sports, not a beer league. Have some respect for the officials, and not embarass your organization.

This will hopefully help us tank.

who cares, it only helps the tanking process with him out. Antropov's value is at a all time high and I wouldnt be against dealing him if there was a good offer for him.
