Domi suspension incoming? (Fined $5,000)

[Tobias Kahun]

Barkov isnt injured.

$7500 fine.

 

[Three On Zero]

That Tkachuk wink is AMAZING

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I said in game thread he gets multiple games

A toronto poster said no because precedent was sent.

But thus was done after the game was decided in the final minute. They don't suspend this you will see head hunting against star players after the game is decided

So kinda like Florida already does?

 

[Korpse]

Probably will get nothing, somebody some day is going to get paralyzed and the league will say it was unfortunate and there’s no way to prevent it.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I doubt it considering what the league has let the panthers get away with but then again probably give him two games although is this worse then the Ekblad hit on Hagel because thats the two game mark that the league has set.

Ekblad on Hagel is a hockey play. Domi goes for an injury. Pretty easy lmao

 

[Three On Zero]

Really its a slimey hit worthy of a penalty, a suspension seems very unlikely though

 

[Michoulicious]

Leafs fans saying it should not be a suspension wouldn't say the same thing if it was Bennett hitting Matthews from behind into the boards with a few seconds left in a game that is already over.

 

[CaptainScrewy]

USA chants are hilarious though. Guess what Florida fans? Both goal scorers tonight for your team are Canadian. Stop that shit.

Yeah, but they both chose to play in the USA because well...you know.

 

[Oliewud]

great hit

u reap what u sow florida

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

So tired of this type of shit. Get this out of the league already!

 

[Gallagbi]

Probably will get nothing, somebody some day is going to get paralyzed and the league will say it was unfortunate and there’s no way to prevent it.

The league has always had such a bizarre interpretation of hits from behind

 

[PB37]

Domi forgot his brain cell so he borrowed one from Kadri during the first TV timeout.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I just find it funny the Leafs are way dirtier than Florida but you hear the whining only coming from Toronto lmao

 

[wgknestrick]

Won't be a suspension. NHL isn't in the business of protecting their players during the playoffs

All it takes is everything. Including your soul, brain, healthy future, and integrity.

 

[Gallagbi]

Leafs fans saying it should not be a suspension wouldn't say the same thing if it was Bennett hitting Matthews from behind into the boards with a few seconds left in a game that is already over.

Most Leafs fans know suspensions generally come from injury.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

He ain’t getting suspended. Especially since Barkov got right back up

Suspend Barkov

 

[Michoulicious]

Yeah, but they both chose to play in the USA because well...you know.

Because they got traded there, or because very rich people pay less taxes in the US, especially Florida?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Dumb hit

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Because they got traded there, or because very rich people pay less taxes in the US, especially Florida?

I'm on your side (suspend Barkov for potentially injuring Domi while Domi was boarding him) but I think everyone in general pays less taxes in Florida

 

[tarheelhockey]

This is where you see the root of the NHL’s issue with headhunting. That was square in the numbers, at the perfect distance to send him face-first into the boards, off the puck, on a star player, with seconds left in the game, for the sole purpose of taking a cheap shot.

By all reasonable measures that should be a significant suspension.

But the NHL will punish the outcome. Because Barkov got back up, they’ll take a pass on discipline. Which means the next guy comes along and picks another similar spot. Then someone breaks their neck on an identical hit and the guy gets 20 games.

It’s nonsense but it’s the league we have to live with.

 

[peconcan]

Can’t wait for Knies to beat the breaks off tkachuk when he goes near the core 4 next game

 

[HockeyWooot]

Taking a page out of Bennett’s book I see

 

[Diglett]

Good hockey play.

Panthers deserve it.

 

[edevils]

The he did this but he did that back and forth between the fanbases gets old real fast.

Does anyone know the process that the league follows to determine suspension lengths?

It sounds like fans are guessing because the league doesn't have a repeatable process in place. The result is trivial tribalism.

 

[CaptainScrewy]

because very rich people pay less taxes in the US, especially Florida?

Yes. It's a better place to be. Glad you agree.
