Not even close to enough IMO. If the roles were reversed and Reaves was the clown, he'd have gotten the rest of the pre-season at least.

Lol. As predicted
“Unsportsmanlike conduct” sure feels like an understatement
That’s fair. After showing how soft he punches, no one is going to take him too serious now anyways.
Firstly fuck Parros, secondly I think if this happens towards the end of the game it’s a suspension, Xhekaj was pretty much suspended for a game by being ejected five minutes into the first.
Joke league
I used to think people were somewhat overreacting about parros & his anti leafs bias, but this is insane. Useless player “safety” dept needs an overhaul.
Parros wants Xhekaj playing game 1 so he can hopefully try to cause some injuries, he was never going to suspend him. If a Leaf did the same thing he’d be out of the league
Remember when Spezza got suspended 6 games for retaliating when Pionk blew Sandin’s knee out? Pepperidge Farms remembers
Not even a fake preseason suspension what a clown show
That’s a joke, if a Leaf did this they would get 3+ games lol
Parros with a gift for his Habs.
Sets the tone for the season right? Right!
Jesus, he only got a fine for attempting to Todd Bertuzzi someone?
Talk about French favouritism
More proof that the league isn’t serious about protecting players and their brains
One standard for the Leafs, one standard for the rest of the league.
Good to see DOPS in midseason form
Ridiculous. And the championing of Xhekaj’s retaliation on certain subs is disgusting. People should be ashamed of themselves. It’s an unfortunate play, but two wrongs don’t make a right.
New nhl25 feature. “Mortal Kombat mode”
Geeze
Paros still pissed Orr ended his hockey career. Fuck Paros and fuck the Habs.
Edit: spelled Parros name wrong, but fuck him imma leave it.
I wonder if a another player did the same thing couldn’t they use this as precedent for punishment?
Kinda opens the door for a lot of wild stuff.
It’s so blatantly obvious that George Parros still holds a grudge against the Leafs after Colton Orr basically ended is career. Maybe hiring a goon who may very well have some form of CTE to run the Player Safety department wasn’t the best idea.
r/hockey still thinks Leafs organization told the AHL’er to target Laine
What a joke. Fuck this league. I’ll keep up to date via radio and here but I’m done
They don’t even try to hide the anti leaf bias. Any other team and he would have gotten 5 games. I actually fucking hate this league
Remember the three points DoPS made when they came down hard on Rielly?
1. Retaliatory
2. Not a hockey play
3. Opponent not expecting it
All that criteria is present here yet for some reason it resulted in a paltry fine. What a clown show.
Todd Bertuzzi did the same thing. I guess the fact that Pare wasn’t hurt (luckily) saved Xhekaj’s ass. What a joke.
When are the Leafs going to pull a Rangers and call out Parros on his bs? Fucking ridiculous
Sad thing to see what happened
What did he do? Did he attack pare after the accident hit
Thats an embarrassment. Par for the course for DOPS sadly.
Is there any other sport where the governing body has a bias against it’s most popular and profitable team? It’s actually insane to think about.
So if Reavo dummies Wifi from behind, that’s only a $3500 fine?
Of course
I wonder what the crazy people on other forums who said the collision was 100% the fault of Pare are saying about his lack of disciple ?
