Yeah the DPS has completely lost the plot.

Good stuff, deserved nothing beyond this

Parros strikes again. Guys the biggest leaf hater of all time. Fire him

 

[Beerz]

Seems excessive

Let’s spin the wheel of justice…

This thread will be worth a read today

Is what it is

 

[overlords]

He comes out ahead when you factor in the weekend sales of his jersey.

 

[Hunter368]

He deserved some supplemental discipline, that looked bad for the sport. At least he kept his gloves (less risk of injury) on, but still bad.

 

[GordonGraham]

A fine for a game he wasnt even paid to play in ?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Is this where we pretend fines mean something after usually people say the opposite?

 

[miscs75]

WiFi is gonna Matt Rempe someone next time the two teams play.


*all you people liking it do realize it’s going to be a blatant elbow to the head…

Didn’t Bertuzzi get suspended for multiple years?

 

[Heldig]

Should have been 2 games IMO. Grabbed an unwilling player and beat him. Not sure it is worse that he left his gloves on.

He hit a player multiple times in the back of the head. Not including the outcome to Steeve Moore, what is the major difference between this and what Todd Bertuzzi did??

The league is setting a horrific precedent, but it's not surprising given the incompetence DoPS has displayed

 

[koyvoo]

I’d stiff them on the 42 cents

[GrumpyKoala]

Oh no....
Anyway...

The consequences on me doing that at my local rink would be more expensive.

It's a sla... Huh a light intimate tickle on the wrist.

 

[Leafidelity]

Surely he won't do something stupid again on opening night when he plays... The Maple Leafs again

CTE Parros strikes again

 

[shaner8989]

Leafs are likely happy though because he will be playing in the season opener. He sucks and Reaves is gonna chase him around all game. Have fun.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

How do you not even get a game for that barbaric act?

I agree. Knee on knee hits not being punished are terrible for the league and we can't have players thinking they're allowed to try to end other players careers with them.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Habs players were f***ing furious after the game. Pretty sure, they'll put a little stash together to pay this off.
Looking forward to him and Pezzetta drilling all the leafs skilled forwards in a couple of weeks

 

[RationalExpectations]

I think Xhekaj should be suspended because of unsportsmanlike conduct and this fine is ridiculously low. In addition his behaviour is way too stupid given what he was trying to achieve. Target Matthews during game opener, now the 3K fine will be worth it. Habs need to be tougher, make sure they cannot be targeted without fear of retribution.
