No penalty, no suspension. Barkov left the game.

If people who think Eklblad’s elbow should have been called are “whiners,” then wouldn’t that mean you are responding by whining too?

Or maybe NHL refs are consistently selective, and there is more of a deep rooted problem in their training (in which case you’re both kinda right, and not whining, and there is actually a productive outcome to be had).
 
Georgie Boy is getting bottle service for Ekblad and Mikkola in the Miami club as we speak. Huberdeau just popped in with his lamborghini.

Nice screen shot, now show us the entire play where Draisaitl makes contact with Barkovs shoulder first and then the hit rides up. Clean hit.

It's wild how unaware some of you are about the rulebook, but I don't blame you guys considering you get an entirely different set of rules to play with.

Dirtiest team in the league by far, any other team and that's an immediate suspension. But we gotta make sure Colin Campbell's son continues to get babied by his daddy.
 
He got 5 and the game. ZG wasn't "injured" nor left the game. Unnecessary hit, but IMO the penalty was sufficient IMO. Dumber hit between the two, but he got kicked out for it.

Ekblad didn't get a whistle at all and Hagel never played again.
I think he gets a game if I had to guess between the two.

Mikkola 's is just visually worse and I think that gets taken into account.

Get ready for the beatdown next round. Leafs are gonna get pounded on. Don’t make the same mistake the Lightning did
 
I can already tell the league is going to get the Mikkola and Ekblad hit punishments bass ackwards. I have a really hard time seeing how hitting a guys head (who's on his knees already) into the boards isn't by far the worse play than Ekblads forearm shiver. I'd consider Ekblad's hit a fine at most, and Mikkola a multi game suspension.
 
Is Ekblad considered a repeat offender?

If what you're asking about is whether his 20-game suspension for PEDs makes him considered a repeat offender, then no. I don't know his entire disciplinary history, but I do know that supplemental discipline goes after something like 18 months when DOPS is looking at the definition of a repeat offender. I just don't know off hand if he has any history in the last 18 months (assuming that's what the timeframe is) other than the PED suspension.
