How do they justify that while trouba got 0 lol this league man.
For clarification, I think trouba should have been suspended
soulknife20
Yeah. Don’t do that. However, Trouba didn’t get suspended for swinging his stick at someone’s head, so I don’t know. The wheel of random punishment strikes again.
red_langford
He took a nasty cross check right before. Not defending it but fuck I can’t see anyone not retaliating
mrg3392
Ah so that’s where the ticker landed on the NHL suspension wheel!
MindOnClouds
Is it worst than Trouba though ?
Xori1
fair.
punkdrummer22
Should have done it to the head. Then only a fine
SnooHamsters8997
Fair to suspend, you can’t react that way, but we don’t have to act like the cross check was fair…that’s bullshit and I’m tired of people downplaying that…even the announcers on this “little cross check”
Play dumb games, win dumb prizes
s3nsfan
What the fuck was that?
korkkis
I’m still puzzled how Trouba got none?
airbag23
He got his two games worth that’s for sure

I’m just here waiting for the Devils fan to show up and explain how a small cross-check, that happens in every game, justifies winding up and 2-hand axe chopping a guy.
_CoconutsGo
The stick didn’t even break? Weak.
PaleAdagio3377
Yeah that was bad
dr_van_nostren
No 2 incidents are the same but goddamn the wheel of Justice is truly all over the place.

Idk why I support this joke league

Officiating has been all over the place this year too

If it was to the head would it be 0?
fdisfragameosoldiers
So a slash to the arm is worth a 2 game suspension but if he hit him in the head it’s only a $5k fine? This league is a joke.
BettmansDungeonSlave
This is 2x worse than Pietro apparently
DismalChance
Why would Trouba do this? How is the league letting him get away with this night after night on teams he’s not even a part of.
Shawnalish
Now I’m hearing Konecny got a fine on the play lol. Supposedly from the crosscheck prior to the slash.

Eye for an eye boys.

This is why fighting should be a part of the game

Fuck around and find out right? What a rat cross check
djohnny_mclandola
The NHL is so fucking soft these days. Anyone who has ever played knows that hockey pads are like a suit of armor, especially on the front of the body. A cross check to the back is a cheap shot.
Weird_Importance_301
Need to be hard on these types of plays. This isn’t hockey, it’s embarrassing. Still crazy they didn’t suspend trouba on his home run hit to Frederic’s head.
cheezturds
Brendan Smith doing something dumb as fuck. Color me shocked. I don’t blame him for retaliating, but he would’ve been better off turning around and punching him.
JerseySpot
Should have tried to hit his head.. would only be fined $5000 like Truba.
HonoluluHonu808
Yet the piece of shit in NY gets a 5k fine. Seems pretty fair to me.
shamwowzas
smith with no emotional control, that’s what is being punished here. Cross check is within the scope of the game, while not clean it’s not something that is unexpected. Smith looks like a little kid throwing a tantrum because he was caught off guard and got the short end of the stick, not cause he was defending himself lol
turbopro25
That’s just Jersey vs Philly hate. If you know you know.
Frost_i
He should have aimed for the head it’s only 5k
dense-but-radiant
Should have raised the stick over his head 4 feet like Pietrangelo. Would have only got 1 game.
Larryloopout
Should have aimed for the head. No penalty or suspension
pglggrg
Ok but how many games suspension for theh crosscheck?
Vast_Impression_5326
Moron only gave issues more than skill to Detroit so good riddance of that guy! Best of luck to ya!

Lol bench is all looking the other way 👀
ExpertRedditUserHere
If only he hit him in the head. Oh and been on the Rangers.
Ambitious_Western_12
The NHL now is not only boring as all hell to watch but full of unprofessional babies and about as real as the WWE
Hufdud
Ah, so lumberjacking someone’s arms off is only illegal in the regular season… it all makes sense now
liquidcourage93
Sometimes I feel like jail time should happen, not a two game suspension
mastrochr
But a 2-hand whack to Frederick’s head was a fine. 🤔#consistency
tipsup
2 games?
That’s actually ENCOURAGING this more. WTF?!
fourpuns
I mean cross check a guy in the back after the play eat a slash. I feel like they should both be suspended under the play stupid games clause.
in-dog_we_trust
I have been trying to figure out how the dops (hmmm DOPeS) determines what is punishable and what isn’t, then what the punishment should be. I’ve thought and ruled out darts, wheels, hats and random generation programs. The method is as hard to decipher as it is to count hairs on your own ass.

Appropriate.
Well deserved
