With Matthews being penciled in for a hearing for his cross-check to Dahlin's neck, I figure it was time once again to explore the DoPS Farmer Almanac to get some potential insight on what the outcome might be!

After referencing the Alamanac... there is no pattern...
Should be a fine based on previous decisions by DoPS, but fully expecting a 2 game suspension. Player safety tweeted that he'd get an in person hearing almost immediately after the play happened
 
Man, I'd be pissed if Evander Kane owed me money and the NHL just barged in and took $5000. That's my money. We're supposed to be the ones knee-capping (figuratively, of course) around here.

Get in line Gary. We've got a schedule, we're civilized about this.
