No matter how you feel about TDA, that’s a scary play for anyone to go through.
Smacked so hard his helmet even comes loose.

Gotta think there would be heftier fine and/or discipline if it wasn’t the Canes or TDA…

Looked accidental but appropriately fined due to how reckless it was. I hope the league does more often, even if it’s accidental.
Surprised anything came from this with the leagues history.

Yeah. I was surprised he skated off. That was a full speed hit to the face.
Wasn’t he bleeding too? He seemed to wave off the injury check but seemed to be bleeding at the next face off.

I don’t think it was intentional, but it was super reckless and a potentially dangerous play. So the fine is appropriate.

You guys are being way too nice. There is absolutely no excuse for flailing a stick around like you’re fucking ribbon dancing with it.

I just want to be clear. If EVERY team has to high stick Tony DeAngelo for the rest of the season for us to get wins….Im totally fine with that

Rusty gate to the face is certainly a tough one. Sure it wasn’t intention, it’s a common move, but nevertheless have to fine him for clipping him in the face.

You guys saying it wasn’t intentional are just flat out stupid I’m sorry

It was a whack, and I thought they should have checked TDA for a concussion, based on his stunned reaction, rather than letting him go on the PP.
As a CAR fan I don’t think it should be a fine, but if the league thinks it was that serious, I hope they also have told the refs to insist on concussion protocol in that situation, rather than let the guy say “I’m okay” and let him play immediately.

But “Canes dirty.”
