Lol, okay.

 

[Raspewtin]

good riddance

Please help me understand how Trouba got two games and Gallagher got five games.

Please help me understand how Trouba got two games and Gallagher got five games.

Because Gallagher's infraction was more severe.

Trouba's suspension is on point considering he's a repeat offender.

Gallagher as a first time offender getting 5 games for something that egregious looks bad, but under the circumstances, it's not that bad. Personally, I would give players a 20-game suspension for what Gallagher did but the NHLPA doesn't want that so here we are.

All things considered, Trouba's suspension is warranted. Fined twice, suspended once, Trouba has a disciplinary record. 2 games for an elbow to the face I have no problem with.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Suspended for a hockey play. Sickening.

 

[haohmaru]

We might actually win tonight now.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Not really deserved but who cares he sucks anyway

He's not really a repeat offender though. He's been suspended 1 time like 5-6 years ago.

Any other player they would be looking the other way, but too many people are crying over his legal hits so the league decided to suspend him for a play that he's not even looking at, or even knows where's the other players head is.

I don't really care either way though, team stinks right now, not going to change anything with or without him.

This? This is the play over which you decide to suspend Trouba?! The man has had many questionable hits. This is garbage.

By the DoPS' definition, that's a repeat offender.

Many devastating, but legal hits.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

If the game was played in super slow mode then I could see their reasoning.
Whatever, NHL is a joke organization.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

That'll show 'em.

Give someone brain trauma, and get a slap on the wrist.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Not really deserved but who cares he sucks anyway

I didn't see the hit.

Not really deserved but who cares he sucks anyway

Not according to the main boards.

Steven, stop defending George Parros!

We look crisp passing tonite.

Despite how often I’ve been told you can’t win without a lumbering caveman who sucks because, like, he hits.

By the DoPS' definition, that's a repeat offender.

A repeat offender is a suspension within the last 18 months and doesn't apply to Trouba. However, his past behavior (including the most recent stick swing to Frederic's head earlier this season) can be put in consideration towards his suspension.

What is a "Repeat Offender"?​

A Player is considered a repeat offender for 18 months following his most recent incident that resulted in a suspension. His status as a repeat offender in this category is used to determine the amount of salary forfeited should he receive another suspension.

It is important to note that even if a Player is not defined as a repeat offender, his past history may come into consideration when determining future Supplemental Discipline.

Strangely, I thought repeat offender was for determining the suspension, but it's actually for calculating the fine.

How much money does a Player forfeit when suspended?​

Non-repeat offenders lose salary based on the number of days in the season. For example, if there are 190 days in a season, a three game suspension would cost a non-repeat offender 3/190ths of his average salary.

Repeat offenders lose salary based on the number of games in a season (82). For example, a three game suspension would cost a repeat offender 3/82nds of his average salary.

Trouba losing only ~83k shows he's technically not a 'repeat offender'
