Kempe Fined for Slew Foot on McDavid

[Midnight Judges]

No if you look at my history of posts i am one of the most unbiased posters here so i do not deny it . It was dangerous but all im saying is you get what you put out

OK fair enough. And it's not like you don't have a shred of a point here. Retaliation is a real thing in hockey.

Funny to hear the crying about McDavid not getting calls or whatever when you have him board and concuss Anderson maybe two minutes into a game where Anderson was made a target for retribution for a phantom slew foot. Two things:

- McDavid was not suspended or fined for an illegal hit that injured a "marked man" in what could easily be argued as a premeditated action.

- At least Edmonton fans--and especially their beat writers--know what a slew foot actually looks like now.

Its a travesty that a guy as fast as McDavid, never gets a call while navigating through a maze of sticks and hooks on a nightly basis. Refs and this league are a joke. almost every play is a penalty so they just don't bother calling any, even when its blatant. Delinquent league

They saw what happened when McDavid gets a remotely fair whistle *ahem* 71 power play points & best season of the 21st century. Gotta keep the scoring race entertaining.

We really appreciate Edmonton fans doing what they can to fight the LA fires with a river a tears.

Alberta sent actual firefighters to LA to help.

People still twisting themselves into knots to justify one of the most reviled plays in hockey.

Consistent with the methodology of NHL suspensions I laid out when L'Heureux was suspended. This is an actual slew-foot, far more intentional visually, but since the end result isn't as violent, the offender isn't a "known problem", and the player isn't significantly injured - even when it's an all-time legend - there's no suspension. A joke league does joke things like this fine.

This guy gets it.

Garbage play that needs to be more harshly punished. Guys wreck knees and ankles like this

Thats worse than L'Heureux's, but a much lesser punishment.

Department of Player Safetyish strikes again.

Waiting for the day someone launches a class-action suit for contributory negligence.
