A pint of dark matter, please.
Greatest game, most inconsistent league.

Great comeback win!
Hopefully Vilardi can pick up the slack with Connor out.

Typical NHL. If it was against someone on an original 6 team there would be a suspension.

Not even a penalty on the play, Pionk was suspended.
Jets' Pionk suspended two games for kneeing Maple Leafs' Sandin
Winnipeg Jets defenceman Neal Pionk has been suspended two games for kneeing Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Rasmus Sandin.
"We acknowledge Pionk's argument that this is an attempted full-body check, but this play cannot be classified as merely a collision between two players, where one or both move reflexively or defensively at the last moment to avoid contact," said the department of player safety in a video explaining the punishment.
"If he wants to deliver this hit, the onus is on Pionk to take an angle of approach that ensures he's in good position to make a legal, full-body check. Instead, having taken an angle which has him lined up outside of Sandin's path, Pionk turns his right leg and extends his knee, jutting it forward to avoid missing the check entirely. This results in forceful, dangerous and direct knee-on-knee contact."
As dangerous as that play was, the retaliation was worse. "Players policing themselves" resulted in this.
Maple Leafs' Jason Spezza suspended six games for kneeing Jets' Neal Pionk
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Spezza has been suspended six games for kneeing Winnipeg Jets defenceman Neal Pionk, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.

Yup, and the Jets play the Ducks on January 5 so now we’re likely to see some more lawlessness.

Yup the DOPS changes its rules all the f***ing time. It's the biggest joke of a department ever.
We're going to have to depend on Ehlers and Scheifele stepping up their goal production, as well as our depth players to compensate for the loss of Connor's production. I think the Jets have the depth to come out of this OK -- hopefully.

I believe in diplomatic and political circles that's called "plausible deniability".

And the Blackhawks and Sharks are only 9 points out of a playoff spot.
Intentional or otherwise; if that had been McDavid or, heaven forbid, Matthews who had taken that knee on knee hit, we'd be hearing no end of it and a supplemental league hearing would be in the works.
Total effing bullshit.
The only attempted hit was the elbow he tried to throw at KC.
What a bush league the NHL is.

It's always pretty tight up until mid January but it's surprisingly hard to make up a ~7pt difference.
Until we're on the bubble I'm not worried.
Agreed. The team is doing what it needs to do and bank points. The more they continue to bank the less chances we.have of falling out.

Whereas in real life, spreading your feet apart tends to speed things up.

I can't tell which replies are serious, but you 100% widen your stance to glide in and throw a body check. While I think the play was reckless, feet spread apart is not evidence of intent.

Well of course, that's what you argue over in court.
(PS: If you're looking for serious replies, this is the wrong afternoon for me. Tons to do and I'm bored, bored, bored...)
You also have to remember that the season hasn't been too hectic yet.
The end of the season is a lot more hectic than so far this season.

Let me get this straight , wreckless acts that causes serious injuries are not suspension worthy?
Thats like saying wreckless drivers should avoid meaningful consequences unless it's vehicular homicide
