Dustin Brown ejected for boarding on Penguins’ Schultz
After getting slashed earlier in the game Dustin Brown showed a bit of frustration, taking out Justin Schultz hard into the boards. Brown was ejected from the game shortly after.
pens twitter was savage as well after the win "pens 3 kings 1, brown game misconduct" after the kings tweeted about the double hit brown gave to Dumoulin and Guentzel "Brown 2 Dumoulin and Guentzel 0"
"After getting slashed earlier in the game" WTF are you talking about? Malkin intentionally speared him in the nuts and you think boarding Schultz is some sort of retaliation for it?
That is about as bad as it gets, what was Brown thinking? Boarding a guy who is on his knees, using a cross check.. The president is set, he deserve a suspension for that, all day long.
I can tell that Brown had no intention of hurting Shultz, but the fact that he still decided to hit Shultz when he clearly saw he was on his knees is odd.
I just need to know how the NHL can justify ending Cogliano's 830 game played streak for a phantom suspension, but not suspend Brown for a blatant hit from behind on a defensless player.
Um the dude was on his knees, and stayed on them. It was his fault for being in that position. It wouldn't have been as bad, if shultz wasn't an idiot., and actually skated. That's dangerous play on shultz part.
Cogs gets suspended for a hit that was a millisecond late, but Brown doesn't get suspended for an equally late hit that looked miles worse than Cogliano's.

Typical pittsburgh rules, we can spear your nuts and whine all game but you cant touch us.
Should be suspended
Well here's the moment of truth, if he doesn't get suspended for this it will truly show how pathetic the player safety board really is.
i mean, he could've pulled up… but Schultz did turn
Good call to boot his ass outta there.
If they suspended the iron man ( which was one of the worst suspensions in NHL history ) Brown should get 2-4 games for this.

If Cogliano got 2 games then this is a 5. Straight up stupid dangerous play.

And not a single one of his teammates came to his defense. God I miss the old NHL…
Wish penguins had matt cookie still . Been a pay back .
Nice hit gkg

10K fine
LOL NHL
no suspension only a fine and brown will be playing against the quacks tonight. malkin got fined too haha
$10,000 and no suspension…. what a joke.
Lol looks a lot worse in slow motion

Schultz was already down on his knees and Brown made no effort to slow down. Very dirty
How he escaped a suspension is beyond me. NHL logic at it's finest
Seen worse. Not ejection worthy
Good thing he doesn't play for Phoenix. He'd be looking at a 10-game suspension.
Ya dirty could see 3 games at most
How does nobody take a shot at him after that??? If I were Schultz I'd be more pissed that none of my teammates stepped up for me.
I never liked Brown
I just need to know how the NHL can justify ending Cogliano's 830 game played streak for a phantom suspension, but not suspend Brown for a blatant hit from behind on a defensless player.
You suck for ending such a heroic streak, NHL.
Um the dude was on his knees, and stayed on them. It was his fault for being in that position. It wouldn't have been as bad, if shultz wasn't an idiot., and actually skated. That's dangerous play on shultz part.
Brown is a scumbag. Deserved at least 3 games, but will get nothing… Pos. NHL = garage league
Finally penguins get a taste of their own medicine.
Why didn't the pens retaliate at all?
Because there the Pittsburgh penguins there will be no penalty on the play! We didn't see any stick to the balls.
clearly board/interference/crosschecking.. I can see a major penalty and a fine.. but I don't think that is a hard enough hit for a suspension
That was dirty as hell. He was on the ice already, It was A) A boarding penalty and B) A cross checking penalty.
This is a 4-5 game suspension – NOT what Cogliano got…
Cogs gets suspended for a hit that was a millisecond late, but Brown doesn't get suspended for an equally late hit that looked miles worse than Cogliano's.
#noSuspension
Ejected again Brown 23
Dustin Brown's lack of class and sportsmanship is unsurprising to the point of predictability.
At first glance, this could look like a play on the puck. But once he raised his stick, it was clear he wasn't going for the puck. Good eye, ref.
