Even can teams still buy back suspensions in the play offs these days? Smith got suspended last year and I believe it cost us the series. Soo had no answer to him.
I don't believe that was an automatic suspension. Only thing about it was that we knew he would be suspended based on past precedent. Because it's not an automatic predetermined x amount of games every time, we couldn't buy it back. To my knowledge, there still are opportunities to buy back automatic suspensions in the playoffs. I don't remember the rule ever been changed.
