why was this not a suspension if mangiawhatever got a game?
Any crosscheck, or any serious contact via aggression, to the back of the neck is really, really bad and should net the aggressor more than 1-game.What are you talking about? Mangiapane got 1 game and the cross check in that clip was so bad, the NHL kicked most of the people in it out of the league.
I'm guessing it's only 1 game because McCann only missed a few shifts and played the rest of the game. Even if there was intent to injure (I don't think Mangiapane was actively trying to injure McCann, just made a ridiculously dumb decision), he didn't actually injure him.
Ras concussed Laine and he still ain't playing.
The inconsistency of the supplementary discipline is almost as inconsistent as the on-ice officiating or off-side reviews. It's never consistent. And the league doesn't think they have a problem. :l
