There's been a lot of slew foot threads lately that were just tripping.
Now this. This is a slew foot.

Marchand for 2 games.
Not to say atoadaso but atoadaso.It was ugly, but Fabbri didn’t get hurt and Pesce has no history. I’m not so sure he’ll get suspended.

On TSN last night Dreger said the reason the DoPS didn’t call it a ‘slew foot’ and give a more severe punishment is because Pesce didn’t ‘aggressively’ throw Faabri’s upper body downward. Like... he definitely used his arm to push him back to cause him to fall backwards in conjunction with the skate trip.... but it wasn’t done so ‘aggressively’ so just a fine and nothing further. What a bunch of idiots.
As a Canes fan I really hope the org and/or Pesce address this and do at least some of the following...
- Acknowledge the incident and the careless and reckless nature of it
- Apologize to Fabbri publicly or privately
- Increase the amount fined
- Pesce sits for a game
Sigh...what's your view on Ovechkin?
Should he apologize for nut shots and get "time off" and/or going back a couple of years for picking on an 18 year old Svechnikov?
Damn that’s bad. But how can anyone be suspended after the OV nut strike?
Yeah I'm sure you have plenty of other examples of him to prove this.
This was literally probably the first dirty play of his professional career but go on, can't wait to see your evidence to the contrary.
One thing worth remembering is that the $5,000 also classifies them as a “Past offender” should anything happen in the future.$5,000 is peanuts to these players and does nothing to deter them from continuing to do it. Own up to it. Admit it was shitty and take responsibility for being shitty. Don't be shitty in the future.

If the DoPS won't address things like this, the players will have to. As far as I'm concerned, if Pesci gets his head taken off from a flying elbow next game, it's all good. Slewfoots are disgusting trash that have no place in hockey. Blatant attempt to injure. Keep your head up...
I would like to see Fabbri not-aggressively board Pesce into the end boards next time these teams play.

Let’s not wish injury on Pesce now. A good clean hard hit? Sure.
Slewfoots are the exception to the rule, IMO. You pull that shit, all bets are off.It’s kind of crazy how we’ve made the complete cultural circuit from “fighting keeps players from settling scores via cheap shot” to “let’s hope they settle scores with a cheap shot rather than confront each other”.
It’s not like Pesce is some heavyweight. His only career fight was a slapfest with Scheifele. Pretty obvious how this gets settled if the Wings want it.
Wow that’s bad, how dumb can you be
