A bruins player could get shot on the ice and NHL would be like “eh, he’s got a prior history”

What a weak response. That was a completely reckless, two-handed batter’s swing to the head. This wasn’t a slash, certainly wasn’t a hockey play; it was a Marty McSorley.

There is no way that the NHL Player Safety is a real thing lol

Disappointing, but not surprising

The league just can’t make the right decision

Make it make sense please…. That’s a 2 handed slash to the face…
I thought the league was actually doing alright this year with suspensions with the Anderson and McAvoy suspensions… then they only gave Mang 1 game for cross checking a guys head into the ice.. and Trouba a $5000 fine for a 2 hander to the head… guess they forgot to actually spin the wheel on the first 2 suspensions lol.

If he had some native art on his helmut or rainbow tape on his stick he probably would have gotta a 25 game suspension. Gotta keep those players safe from native art and pride. /s

The real joke is $5,000 as a maximum for a fine lol…
That is not a lot of money for players who pull in millions a season. Fine’s are meant to get the point across.
On average here in the USA, people make about $14 to $20 an hour but if we get pulled over for speeding, we’re looking at what? A couple hundred dollar fine (Depending on your speed of course but that’s not the point)? That’s quite possibly a quarter of someone’s two week pay check.
Hell, I’ll take a $10 ticket if I’m dumb enough to speed. Will that encourage a repeat offender to stop speeding? Fuck no. No wonder Marchand has 8 fucking suspensions.

What the hell is going on in the NHL?!?! Can they not get anything freakin right?!?! With “player safety”, Flower’s mask, pride tape et al, it seems like they really just have their heads up their collective asses!!

yeah something gotta change with the NHL or it’s going to die out

Why does NHL player safety exist if it doesn’t actually do anything useful?
readytogohomenow
Yeah that’s BS. I don’t even like Boston, but when you deliberately high stick someone to the head you should be forced to sit and think about what you did for longer than five minutes.

00.0625% of his salary. Punishment absolutely fits the crime/s
So for us common people. If you make 100k that’s a $62.50 ticket

I think they’ve gotta increase the maximum allowable fine in the next CBA. This is silly

I think the union should take some leadership on some of these malicious events. What’s a $5000 fine gonna accomplish when some knuckle dragger ends a top 5 player’s career way too early..? Everyone will suffer..

He broke rule number one, never use your stick as a weapon and gets this? Gimme a break, try adding a few more zeroes on that fine.

There’s no way they spin the same wheel for Trouba

It’s gonna cost Fleury more for wearing that mask in practice. Shameful.

Can we trade for Tom Wilson now and send him out for the next game against the Rangers? Asking for a Frederic.

Intent to injure? I think so
