Do you seriously compare a crosscheck to the face with a facewash? Or even a light punch? Barzal got off easy, he should've received double misconducts. One for the crosscheck, one for using physical force against the ref.If Barzal gets suspended for that, bring in the Replacements because 3/4 of the players have gotten gloves up in the face.
GTFO out of here, Grandstanding OP.
There is no way he can play game 6 if he is diagnosed with a concussion as per the nhl concussion protocol.
Edit: Just to clarify I am in no way condoning what Barzal did at all, definitely a dirty move that does not belong in the game, dude definitely lost his cool. With that being said I think the 5 and a game was sufficient. That is really all I am trying to point out here.
Lot more brutal than it looked actually, but I don't really see a suspension happening. Like someone said, a fine seems likely
and a glove to the face is the same as a vicious crosscheck to the face?If Barzal gets suspended for that, bring in the Replacements because 3/4 of the players have gotten gloves up in the face.

It's actually closer to 40 million.Tampa fans calling for Barzal to be suspended because being 19 million over the cap isnt a big enough advantage.
There is no such rule, if a spotter determines a player has a concussion they must sit for the remainder of the game, they aren't forced out of the lineup in future games.
Clearly this is satire.Intentional cross-check to the head = 1 game minimum. All hits to the head are taken very seriously by the DOPS.
Spotters cannot diagnose. Spotter can suspect that a player may have a concussion.
It's the doctors that do it.
