Zegras headshots Rasmussen. Will have a hearing today 02/24 - three game suspension

mcdavid crosschecked a guy in the head. how did that not deserve 3 games?

Blowing up a guy's head with a late blindside hit isn't much worse? Was the guy McDavid crosschecked injured? Rasmussen looks like he was concussed.

and garland could've easily been concussed from taking a two hander to the head. both were deserving of what they got

BS. One was a heat of the moment situation where a player lost control, the other is a deliberate attempt to injure.

Dude I’m sure Zegras didn’t mean to hurt
him.

Has Zegras been careless with his slashes in the past ? Sure, he never head shotted a guy before like this

Really? It looked like a blatant and unprovoked headshot. Wasn't even close to being a legit bodycheck that rode up on the opponent, or something done in the heat of a puck battle. That is a classic predatory hit aimed at the head.

McDavid only got 3 because of what Myers did moments later, it’s not a secret lol

Otherwise yeah probably a game or two

you work for DOPS?

mcdavid also had a prior suspension. zegras had no history outside of a fine for slashing. 3 games for crosschecking a guy in the head was absolutely justified

not yet, but when I apply can I use you as a reference?

In a weird way is this a good thing for Zegras's rep? Nobody thought of him as being a physical player prior to this. I can see a guy like Guerin loving Zegras's transition from a highly skilled scorer to a cheap shotting, unproductive, bottom sixer. Watch out, Ryan Hartman!

I think Zegras would have only gotten two games if he got a major and a game misconduct for the late hit.
The refs failure to call that got the game out of hand.
