Too much IMO.  Suspend the wiggles a game then.

Cool, now let's bring up the dozens of instances where he went easy on guys in these situations!

Well F___.

Horseshit. 3 plus the ejection is wildly out of proportion to what other players have gotten for similar hits, particularly in the playoffs.

Between this and the penalty disparity throughout the season, it?s hard not to think that certain decision-makers are biased against the team.

Knew I had a bad feeling about this.

Marchand had better keep his goddamn elbows down the rest of the playoffs is all I have to say.

Why?  So he can avoid another 5K fine. 

If the NHL was going hard on all suspensions of late I would be supporting this but we had very recent examples of what they did with Marchand when he crosschecked a defenseless player in the face for absolutely no reason.  This notion of "taking care of non-hockey plays" stuff is lip service.

Might open up the game a little more for both teams,now that their watching the hits that closely.

I don't understand your point, but to clarify mine, Marchand is just like Kadri in terms of reputation.  If he does something similar he should get similar time.

I think people are afraid that Marchand might do something and there won't be a repercussion.  If that happens it will be like fighting Mike Tyson in his prime with one hand tied behind your back.

My point is that I don't trust DoPS to actually be consistent.  Marchard did something dirty 10 days ago and despite his reputation walked away with just a fine in the regular season.

OK, I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic.  We're agreed then.

Hi all ? been quite awhile and nice to be back.  I do find it very ironic that the league is cracking down on head shots but in litigation refuses to acknowledge any connection between hits to the head occasioned by the game and CTE.

And BTW, Parros has had a concussion or two, one really nasty one on the ice after a fight with Orr.  No lawsuit in exchange for a paying role as head of player safety?

Of course not, but feeling very conspiratorial after the suspension.

Really does look that way.

Too much in my opinion. Maybe in the regular season but it seems like they always relax a bit in the playoffs.

Anyone remember the last 3 game suspension handed out?

I was trying to find past suspensions in the playoffs but couldn't find it anywhere. It does seem very long. I hope the team can rally around Kadri and use this as an us vs. them thing.
