Bobby Ryan could be suspended

Bobby Ryan and Jonathan Blum were tied up on the boards and Ryan's result could lead him to being suspended.

During game two of the Anaheim Ducks against the Nashville Predators there was something that occurred that should have consequences for the young talented forward Bobby Ryan.

Bobby Ryan and Jonathan Blum were tied up on the boards trying to get the puck, and in an effort to get the puck Ryan purposely kicked at the top of Blum's skate with his. It's know that it isn't a severe thing to worry about because of many other things, but it is something that can't be allowed to get away with. If they were to allow Ryan to get away with this then there could be much more that the league could allow players to get away with. It is believed and speculated that Ryan should get a one-game suspension to send a message.

After review of the cheap shot by Ryan, the league came to conclusion that Ryan will get a two-game suspension for the skate jab. This is a big loss for the Ducks considering after tonight's game they will be going back to Nashville and Bobby Ryan is a big contributor on offense.

I believe this will affect the Ducks offense! The Ducks will need their other athletes to step up and help them get wins. If they can't fill Ryan's shoes then they will be in trouble against the Predators considering it's a best of five series and Ryan is out two games.
