Interference was the right call and that’s about it. Dach not playing like it is the regular season made him think he wouldn’t get hit. If you’re going to play, play like it matters.

That Xhekaj hit was in Matt Cooke territory. He needs to get a reality cheque big time with some fists in the face since Parros is too busy trying to attain business deals for his clothing brand.

Looks like our injury curse is finally infecting the rest of the league now
Unbelievable. They should stop calling it Player Safety because they don't give a f*** about it.
The Greig hit wasn't great but it doesn't even come close to that Xhekaj head shot. A penalty for sure but not suspension-worthy IMO.
I'm still absolutely livid about what Pare did to Laine. That should've been 10 games at least.

I still feel so bad for Calvin Pickard. Ended up being the player taken by Vegas from the Avs roster (one of the upsides of Colorado having their worst-ever season was that Vegas plain didn't want any of their guys really). He was so excited he held a fan contest to design his helmet, only to be discarded the moment Malcolm Subban was put on waivers. Frankly Subban wasn't that much better, but whatever, I guess he got to go to the Stanley Cup Final last season so it ain't like his career has suffered horribly. But you could argue he was the first of many players to be hosed by the Golden Bites.
Anyway...way off-topic. Carry on.

That hit by Xhekaj was pure frustration on his part. It doesn't belong in the game, but after watching three important players on the Habs get long term injuries from dirty hits, I think he wanted to really send a message to the Sens bench and the rest of the league that you're playing with fire if you take runs at Habs players. Stupid and hotheaded move, but I at least understand why he was so pissed off.
That old-school hockey justice is coming back because the DOPS is mostly toothless, and their punishments are halfhearted at best. I don't know what they can really do to Paré, because he's not likely to ever play an NHL game anyway, but in general they need to be harsher on that, because otherwise guys like Xhekaj are going to start taking steps on their own. The whole point of having a league discipline office was to make that kind of bullshit obsolete.

That must be annoying as f***. The tickets, parking and food better be dirt cheap.

I wouldn't go to the games if I couldn't see both nets. Period. This is ridiculous.
