Jeff Petry Has NO REGRETS Over Game Fine..
Welcome back to Sports Fuel. Petry was having a frustrating game. After missed coverage down low resulted in a Red Wings goal, Petry took a hard hit from Red Wings forward Elmer Soderblom. He responded with a light cross-check before challenging Berggren along the boards. Petry attempted to stick-check Berggren unsuccessfully, then delivered a gloved punch to the back of the Detroit forward’s head. Petry’s glove appeared to hit his opponent’s shoulder pads, deflecting the intended blow. Berggren was not injured in the play.
Petry’s fine of $5,000 is the maximum permitted under the CBA without a hearing. Don’t expect this to have a significant financial impact on the 34-year-old blueliner, who’s set to earn $7.5 million this season. Referees for the game were Peter MacDougall (#38) and Justin Kea (#44), with Steve Barton (#59) and Mark Shewchyk (#92) on the lines. In related news, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Kasperi Kapanen was doing everything he could to help his team, already shorthanded, maintain their one-goal lead over the Montreal Canadiens. When his stick broke blocking a point shot from Habs defenseman Jeff Petry, Kapanen knew he couldn’t play with a broken stick. Kapanen was immediately called for throwing the stick, resulting in a penalty shot for Montreal. 53.6 Penalty Shot – When any member of the defending team, including the Coach or any non-playing person, throws or shoots any part of a stick or any other object or piece of equipment at the puck or puck carrier in his defending zone, the Referee or Linesman shall allow the play to be completed and if a goal is not scored, a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team. This shot shall be taken by the player designated by the Referee as the player fouled. Petry converted on the penalty shot, tying the game at 4. Montreal went on to win the game 6-5 in the shootout.
