Should he be suspended?

Yes for the remainder of the series

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Should have been offsetting minors. Refs in this game won't see the NHL again.

 

[Bonham]

Absolutely deserves a game.

It's the NHL so he won't.

 

[ViD]

How in the world you vote No unless you’re an Oilers homer

 

[ottawa]

I'd say 1 game, maybe 2.

 

[Ralonzo]

It ought to be one game with the jump and the elbow to the head, if the elbow was tucked the entire time. But in the replay you can see at the last second Draisaitl does extend with the ol' Bruce Lee "one inch elbow" to maximize the force of the impact to the head. That said if Barkov can go Game 3, I'd stay at one game, but with that extension there is intent, so it has to be a suspension and especially if there's time missed by Barkov.

DoPeS will just throw darts in any case.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Yeah he should. Guy couldn’t handle being Barkov’s bitch.

 

[JKG33]

I'd give him 3 games, ideally the remainder of the series and the first one next season as a little reminder

 

[MCR74]

If the roles were reversed, Oil fans would be calling for a hanging, so yes he should be suspended.

 

[Svencouver]

2 minimum

 

[Jozay]

5k fine should do it

 

[BB79]

Bennett didn't even get a penalty for concussing Marchand, so no. He shouldn't have even got 2 minutes. The precedent was set 2 rounds ago. We want consistency, NHL.

Is that even a penalty if barkov doesn’t get hurt? Not even close to a suspension.

Guy full on launched himself at someone's head, lmfao not a penalty.

So maybe a 2 min charge at worst? Didn’t look that bad live.

This is whataboutism, please try to stick to the thread topic

 

[Monsieur Miz]

He should be out as long as Barkov is out.

... or Craig Simpson.

Cooke got 17 games for elbowing (while not jumping into the hit) McDonagh, who was uninjured.

Should he be suspended?

Should multiple Florida players for their dirty head shots or trying to take out knees?

This wasn’t an elbow though

Well if you have access to other angles you can see Drai extending elbow and jumping and that is suspension worthy. Luckily league can look at more than what it looked live

Does the NHL provide the game in Braille in addition to ASL?
