What the hell has happened to this dude

-The PED’s
-Absolutely idiotic plays on their last playoff runs
-This elbow tonight
-His underlying numbers rival a bottom pairing d-man

This dude just completely checked out mentally?
If we start from the assumption that the last point is true (not disputing it, as I truly have no idea), then the other three points make a lot more sense. They all fall into the category of a player who has fallen off and is making poor choices in an attempt to compensate.
 
IMHO, take off the glasses. Hagel had no other intention, just like Ekblad. Stop with the bullshit. He was fixated on Barkov the whole time, nothing else mattered. That was more clear cut that the Ekblad hit, which “IMHO” deserved a suspension.
I remember the game, Hagel was mouthing off, harrasing and pushing and doing everything to get attention, well, he got the attention now
 
Revenge hits are absolutely worse than initial illegal hits, since they're always blatant attempt to injure someone. Whatever happened to fights sending a message after an incident to settle things instead of lowering yourself to their level.

What happens is that you are penalized less for the revenge hit than a fight.
