In fairness, Carl’s head hit Jack’s shoulder...not the other way around.

 

[Sabreality]

I think its a fine at most.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

The player leaned with his head into the hit. It wasn't head hunting but hey Zads gets a pass for his hit to the head and Benn too.

 

[Goathead]

Meh don’t think it should be a suspension but don’t care if he gets one. Poor kid deserves a break from this **** show.

 

[Tsyolin]

At this point it barely affects the season anyways, this is like cutting the head off a chicken that already runs around as if it's head was cut off.

NHL justice. 2 standards; no waiting.

Agree. Can't the Sabres request that the Zadorov hit to Jack's head be reviewed?

Or is the review triggered by the penalty called by Ref on the ice. (Roughing vs hit to the head).

Zadorov's hit on Eichel was way, way beyond a simple roughing.

Heh. Garage league.

 

[tsujimoto74]

What a joke. Soderberg put his head down and skated into Eichel. Glad the league is wasting their time with this rather than looking at Zadorov's actual hit to the head on Eichel.

clown show league

 

[Baccus]

Heh. Garage league.

Garage league filled with Mickey Mouse clubs.

 

[Icicle]

Gudas good. Eichel bad. League fair.

bravo NHL!

6th largest sports league by revenue and falling. Acrually closer to 10th then 5th when it comes to revenue by team.

Pretty sad that there are THREE soccer leagues that make more $ then the NHL does

NHL is a dead/dying league. NBA and MLB are going nuts $ wise. NHL isn't. Bravo NHL you deserve to be the garbage piece of shit league you are.

FWIW, Jakub Voracek just got 2 games for a hit on Johnny Boychuk (which IMO was dirtier than Eichel's hit on Soderberg):




Voracek got a 5 minute major as well (though no game misconduct), whereas Eichel only got 2 minutes. So with all that said, I'm guessing 1 game for Jack.

What a f***ing clown show this league is ...

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

NHL is such a horribly officiated and run organization.

 

[vcv]

On one hand, I'm glad they aren't shying away from suspending star players anymore.

On the other hand, 2 games is a joke for a first time offender on a questionable hit where the guy was leaning down/forward.

 

[Gabrielor]

Nothing for Zadorov???

 

[krt88nc]

He got a two game suspension! Guess league had to match McDavid’s suspension.

ding..ding.. we have a winner

 

[Ralonzo]

Way to go NHL. Let me reset the clock for another calendar year where you don't get one f***ing red cent from my family.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

He was concentrating on the puck not Soderberg.

 

[Ralonzo]

Nothing for Zadorov???

The NHL needs to protect the Zadorovs and the Boychuks of the league and get those shitty star players off the ice.
