The NHL officiating just isn't consistent, and DOPS is extremely biased.
There is enough evidence, but no accountability.

Gally is going to get a lesser suspension than Spezza for his hit on Pionk which was his first suspension in over 1400 games or something. Unserious league. Parros is a comedian

Wasn't that long ago that he was the Nick Robertson of Florida. Getting tossed in every trade proposal and opposing fans being lukewarm at best at the idea of trading for him.
What is honestly going on over at the DoPS? Are they actually trolling hockey fans or something with the way they handle these?
That hit literally checks all the boxes to have the book thrown at him and he gets a phone hearing
who actually takes this clownshow seriously anymore?

It's absurd. Open and shut case for intent to injure.What is honestly going on over at the DoPS? Are they actually trolling hockey fans or something with the way they handle these?

This is getting a lot of play.
Perhaps it is something that can't be swept under the rug this time.

It’s just Parros being biased. Gallagher is a Hab and Parros played for the Habs, so he’s going to do his former team a favour and punish him in a way that won’t result in a long suspension.
Hell they were teammates. Conflict of interest is obviously apparent but whatever. Joke league.

Exactly. Look at the top two suspended teams. Bruins and Leaf’s. I can see the Bruins at least being high on the list as they have Marchand and some other questionable players. Then the Leafs. The big bad dirty Leaf’s. The Mathews suspension says it all. But this isn’t a Parros problem. It’s an NHL problem as they are allowing this to happen. Bettman will drop dead the day a Canadian team wins the cup.
And do they not have procedures in place to safeguard any said bias happening? The league just too short on funds or what?
I thought this was about player's safety, the punishment has nothing to do with who likes who. What kind of message does this send about player safety that if you're 'ole pals with Georgy you get let off the hook for blatant attempts to injure players. I don't know the extent of Pelech's injuries but he's had a horrible concussion history already which Gallagher might have worsened.

It would be so easy for the league to simply not hire recent players to run player safety lol
The previous guy (Pronger) was an active player. So progress I guess?

Making a goon head of safety predictably backfired. Shocked I tell you
Even if they didn't want to abandon hiring former players, they could still easily not hire corrupt goons with severe brain injuries, personal grievances, and a complete inability to handle the job. The way the DOPS is run is a joke. No procedures. No standards. No oversight. No accountability. NHL doesn't care about the safety of their employees.

McDrai have completely bought in to the system. They are back checking and grinding like possessed bulldogs. They don't care about personal glory. Its team results for them

No, just painfully inconsistent.
This one is plenty interesting, because with Pelech already having a history of concussions it's possible that he may be out a very long time as a result of an unjustifiably dirty hit.

While I completely agree the reality appears to be, at least to me, that the DOPS is performing exactly as both the league and players want it to.
If there's going to be meaningful change it's going to need to be driven by the players who, for some bizarre reason have decided they're more worried about getting a long suspension than they are about being seriously injured. Especially odd when a pretty small portion of the players do the majority of the most egregious stuff.

Domi: Elbow on Niedermayer the ‘dumbest thing I did in my career’
This was 20 years ago, and so giving out less than 5 in today's environment is indefensible.
