“My God did that smell good”

Phone hearing means max of 5 games (guessing 1 or 2). Doesn't sound like anything for Mikkola.

Odd i thought mikkolas was worse but he did get the 5 min and game misconduct so that mustve enough per dops infinite wisdom

Pretty sure Bettman is going to suspend Hagel for being weak

omg that avatar

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Man, they played like trash last night. Thank god they still got the win. They are going to have to improve massively moving forward in these playoffs.

Ekblad should use the Draisatl defense.

Does the phone call mean he is definitely getting a suspension? Or could it just be a fine? (serious question)

Most of the time its a suspension.

Deserves a game probably.

It means a suspension, if they fine you they just announce the fine lol, see:



Mikkola's in game 5.

I hope for the best outcome for the Panthers regarding Ek suspension. IDGAF about the other teams or their miserable fans. Just a plead to NHL DOPS to do the right thing, help the Panthers please. Yes, I’m an unapologetic homer.

Suspend Ek. Help us win game 5.

He'll get a game.

Draisaitl’s is fine but Ekblad’s isn’t lmao. Showing Edmonton is babied by the league. They hate the Cats!

 

[batting1k]

When you’ve only watched one hockey game, that’s obviously going to be the worst non-call you’ve ever seen.

I still don’t see how that’s a suspension lmao. Mikkola’s was way worse. It’s not Ekblad’s fault Hagel is a little scrub

Yeah I think he’ll probably get a game but it was worth it.

Ekblad had the perfect game last night.

• Took Hagel out of commission. Hopefully out tomorrow too.
• Scored the game tying goal.
• Scored the game tying goal.
• Hugged teammates without breaking any bones.

I thought it was bad the first time I saw it, it looks less bad on replay but I won't complain. Mikkola's play was much worse, I agree.

League wanted to do it in person but were concerned about catering costs

I really don't get it. All the TB players seem surprised when they get hit after playing the puck. Hagel had zero preparation in this scene. Of course any hit looks superhard in this situation because he just falls down like a tree. Mikkola's hit was much dirtier than this because Girgensons really was in a vulnerable position and Niko had enough time to adjust.

It would be completely insane if Ek gets a suspension while Mikkola got a fine.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Why Hagel was surprised he got hit when he had the puck? Well, he's kind of a moron. If he's in concussion protocol, I can't even imagine how they judge that. His baseline is probably barely functional to begin with.

 

[StrangeVision]

I can't miss that because it was like 50 years ago.

F***in' Orr ruined it for Forsling everyone.
