Give him 5 games so I can bring it up whenever someone whines about Vegas on the main board.
I don't doubt that absolutely dumb play deserves a three game suspension but McDavid did the same thing, way late hit and elbow to the head, literally a few days earlier. He got 2 minutes and 5k fine. Stephenson gets 5 minutes and a game misconduct and three game suspension, losing 71k. Both were first offenses.
I've never like penalizing on results instead of actions....but it's the world we live in.One caused injury. The other didn't.
One caused injury. The other didn't.
McDavid could get less but he should have gotten something.
He did. a 5k fine. He wasn't getting a game for that ever.
No cap crunch as Vegas can emergency recall 2 more players at a cap hit of 0 assuming their actual cap hits are under 1M a piece.Glass isn't back as team has cap crunch.
Main boards still an absolute shitshow with the usual suspects claiming Vegas never gets suspended in a thread about 1st offender that just got a harsh suspension.
