  1. Coyle was also suspended $5000 for cross checking Bertuzzi. Kadri was also suspended 5 games as a result of the aftermath.

  2. Jonesdeclectice

    Now do Coyle’s cross check on Bertuzzi (who was bleeding after the fact, btw).

    Edit: looks like he got fined too. A shame the refs didn’t properly assess him a double-minor for it.

    you are apparently supposed to just sit there and take getting speared in balls. cool league

  4. Natural-Web-6978

    Yeah, kinda deserved. The fact he was speared probably save him a suspension

  5. Riddic987

    would love to see Paros get speared and see how he reacts.

    What are your thoughts on the marchand hit on knies? He’s very accident prone, and I feel like despite it being an “accident” he shouldve gotten suspended for a couple. No more of this shit

    Do players on the team throw down money in a pot to “thank” the fine getter?

  8. Thrillhouse918

    And nothing for the hit on Knies.

    Business as usual at DOPS

  9. publicservantboi

    All the players should give him a cross-check every shift

    I also want to add; hilarious how this is a 5k fine and Rielly gets the finger wag from the League for 5 games. League doesnt want players to retaliate to disrespect but this is different? lol

    If I were Jake I would frame whatever paperwork he gets from this

  13. if he wasn’t already a millionaire I’d start a go fund me

    Best $5000 McCabe has spent this year..

  15. LevelNo398

    Cross-checking? He just lost control of his stick.

    Also, Marchand fell down on his own. Any incidental contact was just McCabe trying to prevent Marchand from getting injured when he fell.

    Might be worth a go fund me. We should all chip away in as a thank you

    Fuck Brad Marchand. POS. I love Jake McCabe, steadily climbing as my favourite player not wearing 34.

  18. PhalanX4012

    Someone drop a gofundme. Not because I think McCabe needs the money, but because I’d like the chance to feel like I personally contributed to Brad Marchand getting cross checked in the face.

  19. Thicc_Thunder

    Fire that fucking idiot George Parros. What a fuck up

  20. And yet here I was thinking that he was going to get suspended. But at least player safety didn’t wait three days to report the discipline.
