So this is a thing -



Between the fine to Granato and the fine to Cousins, the league is up $27K at the moment.

next will be a suspension.

Everything about Cousins is so hateable.

Id like to see the Panthers win the Cup if(when) Detroit gets knocked out but the thought of cheering for a team Cousins plays for makes me sad

This should be added to the Personal Life section of his wikipedia page

it's like cousins was bitten in a dressing room incident by a radioactive matthew tkachuk and now has super rat powers.

 

[tny760]

what took so long? i was surprised he wasn't immediately fined for that since it was so egregious

 

[Il Stugotz]

Oskar Sundqvist got fined for this today too, but I only know him from getting knocked out by Tom Wilson so I don't care

 

[brentashton]

next will be a suspension.

Ottawa will have to surrender a draft pick,then the suspension happens.

They should get rid of the instigator just for fights with Cousins tbh. League gets a hall pass.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

This league. Granato 25 thousand for telling truth, Weasel 2K for causing this

 

[Chainshot]

next will be a suspension.

Looks like next would be a $3K fine. I don't see anything about suspensions any more in the rule book, but there is some arcane memo mentioned that I haven't found with a cursory search.

When Cousins is done playing in the NHL, the team is going to offer him a cushy retirement job as the man inside the Viktor E. Rat costume.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This guy should be getting punched in the face repeatedly, every day of his life.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Big win for /r/hockey.

There is a superhero origin story where he's been bitten by the radioactive Viktor E. Rat and thus transforms into what we are now seeing.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Instead of a fine they should make him play wearing a pink tutu over his pants for 3 games.

 

[Team_Spirit]

These fines were calculated with 1987 salaries?

I usually don’t condone this - but in this case it’s perfectly acceptable.

Who ever plays the panthers first round need to dress an AHL goon for game one. First shift cousins is on the ice take him out for the playoffs/series. Knee on knee, dropping gloves and pummelling him until he’s loses teeth/concussed.

Whatever. It’s all good in this case. It’s actually protecting the other players on the ice.

AHL goon gets rewarded by the team off the ice with funds - gets a huge suspension likely and never sees the ice again.

If cousins draws back in on a later series - rinse and repeat with new team.

1. Hoping to injure a player is kind of lame regardless of who it is.

2. Removing Cousins from the lineup actually improves the team.

Let the Nick Empire build. Buddy is going to own an island by Sunday

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

The only shocking thing about this is the NHL actually fining him.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Wish someone had the balls to just eat the measly $5000 fine, and feed this bitch a bunch of his own teeth.

I know it’s a laughable fine to us fans but if most of us got fined $2000 by our jobs for taking a dive while at work we’d be looking for new jobs.

Fortunately guys like Nick Cousins are millionaires and shit disturbers so I don’t feel too bad about laughing at that
