McDavid has been suspended before where Matthews has not, that plays a part in the suspension duration
3 games is about right, if it happened earlier in the game and the major saw him miss more time it probably would've been 2
Maybe Skinner finally gets a chance to play in the top 9.On the plus side we can try non-McDrai lines for a little while.
McDavid's got no suspension history according to the DoPS's criteria of 18 months.
interesting, they mention his suspension history in the explanation video @ 1:15

He should be appealing that then.

According to Friedman on 32 thoughts this morning that is a fallacy. Once DOps decides to levy a suspension all previous fines and suspensions play into whether they go for a longer suspension, as a repeat offender. Said the repeat thing only applies to fines. I was under the same assumption you are.McDavid's got no suspension history according to the DoPS's criteria of 18 months.
They in fact quoted his entire 688 game history in the video. Weird.According to Friedman on 32 thoughts this morning that is a fallacy.
