Nicolas Roy to have hearing with NHL Player Safety for cross checking Trent Frederic (fined $7,812.50)

Parros has lost the plot

 

[Il Stugotz]

The f***?

 

[snag]

haha....they need to rebrand to DPOS

 

[avocadosmoothie]

that's crazy wtf

 

[Spawn]

You have got to be kidding me with this shit.

A fine for a 2 handed cross check to the face?

 

[wgknestrick]

The f***?

Does the value really need the $.50? I mean...during the CBA, did the NHLPA balk at a round $7813.00 claiming it was just too much? We need change for the washing machine after paying.

 

[syz]

That'll teach him.

 

[Summer Rose]

You all make pretty good points. I have no doubt that he deserves to be suspended, so while I said earlier that I think 2 games would be reasonable, who the hell knows with how DOPS will determine the number of games. I can see the cases arguing for more than 2, or just 1.

The only thing that would shock me is if DOPS gives him either just a fine, or nothing at all.

Color me shocked then.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Vegas gets to play by a different rulebook.

 

[1specter]

Nazem Kadri just got suspended for 20 games

You have got to be kidding me with this shit.

A fine for a 2 handed cross check to the face?

now we know the price......time to go shopping!

I'm under the assumption that the maximum allowable fine during the playoffs is capped at a certain (paltry) percentage of the player's regular season salary. I've also seen fines during the playoffs ending with 33 cents, so it's probably a safe assumption to make.

During the regular season I believe it's also a percentage of the player's salary (also paltry, not sure if it's the same percentage as in the playoffs) but it's capped at $5,000.

 

[Skolman]

That's such a joke

Embarrassing

 

[syz]

So how many goals is Roy gonna score in game 3?

 

[FlameChampion]

He got off. Vegas is so fortunate.

 

[wgknestrick]

Parros has lost the plot

Parros has CTE

 

[sepHF]

A fine?

That’s insane

 

[OilerMcLord]

More reasons as to why the NHL will always be a fringe sport compared to the real professional North American sports leagues.

f*** the nhl.

 

[zar]

There’s the Golden Cheats reward for the missed penalty (one of many on each team). Now they can quit their whining.

I guess we know what to do if down by a few later in a game. Don’t “instigate” a fight with a guy who drops his gloves first, instead, “accidentally” cross check him in the face.

I guess his stick rode up the… uh… the… you know.

 

[Cloned]

I bet if they had called Arvy for that trip in OT and Vegas had scored so the series was tied 1-1, Roy would have been given 1 game.

It’s insane to base your decision making about player safety on who’s leading the series.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

A fine?

That’s insane

No that's par for the course in the NHL. And as long as the players put up with it will always be.

 

[McDrai]

Dang that’s crazy. Fines are a slap on the wrist for hockey players. A different player could pretty much do the same thing if a game is out of hand and get the same result as the precedent has been set.

 

[Woodrow]

wtf Crosschecks to the face are back on the menu!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Well, is the standard now set for rest of the playoffs? Get a game penalty towards the end for cross-check to the face and you're good to go the next game.

 

[Spawn]

No that's par for the course in the NHL. And as long as the players put up with it will always be.

Since when has a 2 handed cross check to the face not been a suspension?

McDavid got crosschecked in the face last year against Vancouer and it earned the Canuck player a 1 game suspension. This one was far more egregious.
