2,222? is nothing for a player making 800,000..
how is that even a punishment?
50$ is nothing to someone making 40k, yet people still get pissed at parking tickets

Surprised there wasn't already a thread, he goes full Leonidas on him. No one seemed to notice at the time, either.
DOPS?
No it's not. A 40k salary is hardly livable in a lot of places. You could take away 90% of Ott's salary and he could still live comfortably on nearly 100k. There is a huge difference and this was a very poor example.
I would hope at most a fine. Chara should have just agreed to drop the gloves...come on now!
The league needs to start suspending people more frequently for slew-foots and spears. Both are garbage plays that aren't being taken seriously enough.
All I expected was a fine, but honestly the league isn't doing enough to get this crap out of the game or at least make the punishment more severe.

When do they play again ?
Mark your calendars.
Ott got fined $2,222.22 for the spearing....
...and that is the best amount for a fine that's ever been levied in NHL history.
50$ is less money on 40k (0.125%) than 2,222.22$ is on 800k (0.278%).
50$ at 40k shouldn't be the difference between livable and unlivable.
I stand by my example. Pretty sure Ott is not laughing at losing 2,222.22$.
Why are you putting the dollar in back of the dollar amount? It's making me irrationally angry.
Anyway, spearing is a bush league move. I would have been fine with a 2 minute minor, fine is fair as well.
Move on. No one is surprised Ott did this, and no one will be surprised when he does it again. It's not like he tomahawked someone in the neck.

He's probably French.
I am indeed. I'm sorry for offending you
