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

[Mr Positive]

Not just a fine but the equivalent of a speeding ticket compares to their salaries

 

[Kaner9]

bruh not suspended

 

[Canadienna]

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.

The standard was set when the Habs took three crosschecks to the face against Washington, with Gallagher spending multiple days in the dentist's chair without so much as a minor penalty, let alone game misconduct, let alone a fine.

Actually, the standard was set years ago that there's no standard.

Don't really care tbh. Was a reckless play, but not intentional. Should have got 1 game and nothing more. Knights fans don't get to cry about the blown tripping call on Arvidsson now after Roy getting off.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

haha....they need to rebrand to DPOS

It’s the department of pretty stupid I think

 

[KCC]

that’s actually insane. At the very least it deserved one game.

 

[Nostradumbass]

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.

McDavid’s suspension for his cross check on Garland could have been a $7,500 fine instead.

Somehow that was 3 games and this one was nothing?

Its f***ing insane.

McDavid's suspension was earned too. You cant just go around cross checking people in the face. Unless you're Vegas I guess.

If you don't think that was intentional, I've got a bridge to sell you.

That was as intentional as it gets.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

A crosscheck right to the face isn't a suspension.

The NHL is pathetic.

 

[MikeS24]

What an absolute FARCE

Break a guys nose so he has to get it reset with a viscous crosscheck and you get fined...Jezzus christ.

 

[zar]

You can’t just go around and cross check guys in the face and not expect a suspension…

Vegas Golden Cheats; “Do you know who my Uncle Gary is… hold my beer”

 

[Jyrki]

No suspension for an unabashed, caught on 4K headshot crosscheck is certainly a choice by the DoPS.

Parros is a Vegas resident. Remember that. Just like that joke 1 game to Petro for a vicious two hand chop to Drai on an EN goal at the end of the game.

My interpretation of it was Roy raised his arms to hit the puck, it flew by and went off his visor, and then for some reason he thought it was a good idea to throw a cross check to prevent Frederic from playing it, but he did it with his hands already at face height. I think he intentionally cross checked him, but I don't think he intentionally cross checked him in the face. There's absolutely no basis or rational explanation for him to purposely target Frederic's head while in overtime, no incident prior that he's responding to, and of all the people to target he goes after a 3rd line player? Just doesn't make any rational sense.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

You have got to be kidding me with this shit.

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

All crosschecks are 2 handed.

I'm all for this explanation, but why should it have anything to do with supplemental discipline?

If I close my eyes at center ice and hold my stick out and turn around like a tornado and I smack someone in the head, should I get suspended? I mean i didn't mean to hurt anyone...

 

[La Bamba]

A fine is laughable, goof league

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The next CBA needs to allow for significant fines. This is walking around money.

 

[UpHere]

so Vegas getting a bit of a hand up from DoPS? shocking

 

[Summer Rose]

The next CBA needs to allow for significant fines. This is walking around money.

It's an infinitesimal improvement over the last CBA where the maximum fine was only $2,500, at least.

Intent is always a part of punishment. That's even how our legal system works. I said it probably deserved 1 game, but I'm not going to get too upset over him getting nothing. DOPS is bad we all know that.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Somebody has to get that f***wit Parros out of that position. You can't be this stupid doing that particular job.

Sorry I'm not saying it shouldn't have an effect on the outcome...obviously intent to do something is always far worse, I'm saying that "he shouldn't be punished because it was an accident" is the wrong way to look at it

And yes DOPS is bad

 

[UpHere]

i just watched it again... how is that not an intentional cross check to the face? how is that not suspendable? was there any reason given or do they not do that anymore?
