Conboy. Ok.... here goes

Well, public enemy number one !! Maybe 5 or 6 posters want him to go ( not a huge percentage of Devils fans it has to be said ). Henley got what he deserved, nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I am more concerned with getting our own house in order rather than trying to divert attention away by whinging about opposing team's players. Maybe if Conboy had been on the ice the other night, Henley wouldn't have done what he did, but sadly, Conboy was banned for his latest stupid antics. And before you have a go, I actually want him to stay, as long as G can get him to manage to stay on the ice for a whole game, otherwise, like others have said, he has to go.
Video of it now available here:

Looks like he loses his balance whilst shouting abuse at him. 6 games is about right for me.

Must admit I was expecting him to crash into the lino and leave him in a crumpled heap on the ice after the comments on Saturday. Very soft for me and the lino certainly makes a meal of it. Silly of Conboy to get so close to him though and I guess he has been punished on reputation more than anything.

Love the way the lino holds his arm like he's hurt from that.....
However Conboy acted like a tool for doing that, ends up tripping (by the looks of it) into the lino......
Anyway, 6 games it is and obviously the devils not appealing and disciplining him internally too shows that they don't really argue the ban surely.

I was expecting much worse but can’t argue with the suspension as the intent is there. It’s hardly malicious. More intimidating but you have to make an example of such stupidity as physical contact with an official is a president that must be stamped out.
The incident aside, I was quite impressed watching those highlights with how much Conboy was involved in the play. He has something. He just needs to cut the crap out.
I’ve not been in the camp calling for Conboy’s exit and watching those highlights I feel no different. The lad needs to better channel his frustrations on the ice and use them to out advantage. He should learn from this.

I can't see that it was malicious, otherwise the lino wouldn't have finished the game, but at no point was he heading toward the gate for the changeover and didn't make any attempt to make sure the lino was ok as you would do if it were accidental, so I agree with all of what you said here, pretty stupid really and the consequences leave you short again for a while!
