I don’t want to start anything, but if this was going the other way it’d be fucking world news.
Don’t just let him get away with this.

Knowing the player, he said it was an accident and felt bad and spoke to And apologized to DD after the game. There’s another video of Miller talking to Laf saying, “I just spit and it fucking hit him”. Which tells me he was just spitting and accidentally hit him. No malice was behind the spit.
He missed 85% of the game. Non repeat offender and not a dirty player at all. I don’t think a suspension is warranted.

In WHAT hockey situation do you ever see them spit? When they’re drinking water that’s it. In a scrum, YOU DON’T spit, too many people! He deserves the match penalty, and a suspension. Had he been spit on, like the other guy said, it’d make world news, and DD would be labeled racist. Fuck him!

Lol stamkos deliberately spit on laf in the post season last year and not even a minor. Dude has no track record and said he didnt intend to spit on him. Non issue

This requires significant supplementary discipline. Not an accident – that statement by Miller is as bad as the original act. He needs to say publicly that it was a stupid impulsive thing to do.

Well i hate the Rangers, Kings and especially Doughty so this is a tough one.
Kidding aside, You don’t spit on someone unless you are ready for a real fight, not even a hockey fight. That is one of the most disrespectful things you can do to someone. That should be a suspension absolutely, and a public apology probably. I know Doughty likes to get under peoples skin so im curious what warranted this. Miller usually seems like a stand up guy. Scumbag shit here though

There is no way you can say this is “accidental”. They are looking eachother in the eyes, in a group of people.
I don’t care what he says, he is young and made a mistake. There are consequences to his actions, and he should face them. If this goes with 0 punishment then I have 0 idea what warrants a punishment.
If it were the other way around doughty would be suspended indefinitely.

what a fucking idiot. as a ranger fan, i say he deserves to get suspended at least 3 games. this is just unacceptable.

You don’t accidentally spit like that.

Dude should get suspended for at least 3 games then get his ass kicked every time they see each other for the next year. Spitting in someone’s face is a cringe and cowardly thing to do

What does licking get you?

I’ll take Miller’s word that this was an accident – but it seems like a terrible time to spit.
Edit: Decided to change a word
saltyfingas
Accidental or not, this deserves a suspension. You don’t « accidentally » spit, it’s 100% an intentional thing you choose to do, even if he wasn’t meaning to get Doughty. The same rules apply to your stick which is an extension of your body, you have to have control over it, you don’t get a pass for an accidental high stick, neither should you get one for spitting. Give him the Hathaway 3 gamer

What ever happened to punching a guy in the face and starting a line brawl?

Everyone in here saying it’s impossible this is an accident has clearly never played hockey. Hockey players spit ALL. THE. TIME. The combination of cold air and basically sprinting the entire game whenever you’re on the ice creates a lot of mucus. Pretty much any time you have a moment to catch your breath, you spit on the ice. It becomes second-nature. It’s not only possible this is an accident, I assumed it the moment I saw it, because he’s not motioning towards the player he ended up spiting at. I’m not a rangers fan.

As if Rangers fans didn’t already carry a heavy load of anxiety 😂
Hope KM gets minimum 3 games and racial training because that’s what DD would’ve gotten

Absolutely disgusting. That makes my stomach weak

If I would have been Drew I would have kicked him as hard as I could with the skate.

This is considered assault if happened outside of a hockey game
Hockey_king
In the other video you can see him say. I spit at him and I hit him. Scumbag

I’m not the definitive authority on spitting, but I’ve never had my lips spontaneously purse right before firing off a loog

That should be 20 games imo

The NYR goalie and this guy should both be banned for life. One for spitting and the goalie for wearing a Russian Nazi symbol on his mask.

Accidental spit!? Y’all are fucked in the head to believe that

That’s a suspension!

If you spit on somebody in the 1830’s you would be dead.
