Meier Crosschecks L’Heureux in the Face (Suspended 1 game)

[goonybird]

No he isn't and last season in the AHL pretty much proves he does learn from his mistakes. He was suspended twice last season but both were fairly early. After that he settled down and did well.

Now he is in the NHL and he will learn where the boundaries are there too. He's going to drive other players nuts, but if he can figure it all out he will be one of those guys other fans can't stand but would be perfectly happy on their team.

Saved for later

Go ahead. You act like I should be scared of being wrong or something

I wanna know why Ross Colton only received a fine last year when he crosschecked Meier right in the face, just as recklessly. Same intent. Even worse because Colton has already boarded Luke and came and cross checked Meier on the face as he was skating away.

Avalanche forward Ross Colton fined $5K for cross-checking Devils' Meier

The fine stems from Colton's cross-check to the face of New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier on Tuesday night.

I guess not enough blood spilled... Or some other bias.

NHL DoPS has so many chances to be consistent, and yet, they never choose to, it's no wonder fans always cynical.

Probably because Meier didn't fall to the ice, DoPS will always judge more leniently if the player stays on their skates.
