Nugent-Hopkins should be fined too. Bunting was fined last year for embellishment on a MUCH more debatable play.

And I'm glad Tavares did that. Good play. The best part is Oilers fans complaining about it when their bonehead player started it because he couldn't keep up with the pace of the game anymore and got frustrated.

Worth it.

If I’m JT, I have no problem with that, he didn’t start it but he finished it

Joke

Message sent to rookie: dont f@ck around with a veteran.

Well worth the fine and the message sent to the Oilers.

Notice how no one came to Tavares for revenge?

Seems like Toronto players give no effs no more. 5k for JT and 30k for FVV

What slash??

 

[WillyC]

That’s quite manageable when you make $3,767/hr in your day job.

.. and Leafs don't get unfairly targeted... riiiiiiiiight!!!!!!!!

Should've hit him harder. Get your money's worth.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Glad he did it .. the cross checks are one thing, but the spear to the back of the leg? Eat shit.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Fred VanVleet must be super jealous of the NHL's $5,000 maximum fine.

 

[Hellcat]

So one chop to the gloves, four cross checks, one spear to the back of the leg, multiple interference infractions, the refs let it go, what else is JT supposed to do? The refs told him that any stick assault is fair by not calling Desharnais earlier in the play.

No.

You don't injure players.

A retaliation slash after a cup check is one thing, but attempt to injured is not ok.

He got the message across, that's exactly the extent of the retaliation.

It's a fine every day of the week, and the system working as it should.

A little quick on the announcement of the fine seeing as it's been what 15 hours or so, but this is the right call.
