They rarely hand out anything over 5 because then it can go to an independent arbitrator. Maybe this is a case where he can explain himself?
You won't be wrong.If it's an in person hearing he's getting suspended, probably for quite a few games too.
I hope I'm wrong
I wouldn't be surprised with up to 5 games, after which we see similar slashes go unpunished.
Congo Jack
is a big fat mess.
I hate it but I'll survive if EJ is gone one game, if he's gone for more than that tho I'll lose my ******* mind.
If this happens:
-We need to start figuring out why the NHL wants us to miss the playoffs
-We can count on another fine for Roy

There's been so many broken bones over the years as a result of slashes it's ridiculous, and they never get suspended. It's just part of the game. It's penalty and that's it.
It's not a head shot, it wasn't an intent to injure, he's trying to break up the play on the PK and he hit his finger tips. You can see it on the replay. It wasn't even on the wrist or hand, it was the damn finger tips. Hurts like hell, but it's not a suspension for christs sake.
It's a joke that they've gone so results oriented. If they suspend this because Nielsen broke his finger or something, than they are going to have to suspend every borderline play that results in an injury, and that's gonna be a long list.
Not to mention all the Pejorative Slured dangerous plays like Kadri's hit from behind and Hartnell's knee on MacKinnon go unpunished because there was no injury, and the players don't learn not to make plays like that.
I can't wait to hear what Shanny says in his video if he suspends EJ. "At 12:09 of the 3rd period an incident occurred. Erik Jonson makes a routine slash that hits the fingers of Frans Nielsen. We learned two days later that an injury occurred, but thanks to the Olympic break we have time to suspend the team I've sworn to screw over since taking this job."
THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR JOKES
I know, Welcome BRETT CLARK!
and yes I know he doesn't have an NHL contract.........yet
Bringing up his replacement options is just making me ten times more sad about his impending suspension

Sarich will be back. No call up.
Then the next option is Wilson. We know Roy would rather run 5 D than call up anyone.

How many games does it have to be before the Avs can appeal?
Someone tweet Shannahan that Hall video and ask how that isn't suspendable, but this is. Or Kessel's attempt to break Scott's ankle.
Seriously, this has to be a misunderstanding. Maybe EJ is still in New York from Saturday night or something.

NHL rigged the lottery so we could pick the media darling Jones.
Will forever **** us since we didn't.
But seriously, how often do the Avs get the short end of the stick?

I know it's late but it would be nice to have reporters at a time like this instead of us googling for answers.
