Yep that's a suspension. It's the Mike Richard's special.

The league did a good job getting these particular plays out of the game about 15 years back. You need to keep coming down on these to make sure they don't creep back in.

Some here post with their opinion of this hit by. Jeannot as ‘reckless’, but I don’t see it that way…IMHO it was a clear attempt to clip Boeser up high thus targeting the head…Jeannot appears to be looking right at Boeser as he makes contact.

I understand there’s deals in place between the league and the NHLPA to avoid lengthy suspensions, but to me this was worthy of 5 games, or more.

At some point the NHLPA has to fight for the injured player too,

It just seems to me it's a huge conflict of interest when the victim and offender are both represented by the PA
