It's not about Boro but it's about consistency and fairness. Who your owner or GM is, what your team logo and colours are and who you are or your reputation as a player shouldn't matter.
Just a few recent ones:
What about the solid glove punch to face of Formenton. He was concussed. Boro defending the goal crease and goaltender was worth a suspension just for raising his fore arm against a late rushing eager young player who contributed to his injury concussion by his own momentum. Yet.... lets see....what does causing a concussion by punching a Sens kid get you? Any penalty? Any review? Any suspension?
Nope!
Remember the extremely hard hit on Paajarvi right in the back resulting in a major face plant into the glass. What's the difference if the head hits glass, boards or a guy's body part especially when it's carrying the momentum and weight of some 220lb monster behind it? His head took a major hit! There was blood! Any penalty? Any review? Any suspension?
Nope!
What about Boro having his head drilled against the back boards by Gallagher vs Mtl? You can't say that wasn't planned head shot or deliberate. Any penalty, any review? Any suspension?
Nope!
What about the play where Lajoie is caught deep pinching and chases back to catch up what does he get for his effort? An elbow right in the kisser! There was blood! The ref watched the whole thing. Any penalty? Any review? Any suspension?
Nope!
What about Chabot getting drilled in the back near the back boards on a late hit and he hit his head on the boards. Chabot looked out of it for a few seconds. It was a very dangerous unnecessary play.
Any penalty? Any review? Any suspension?
Nope!
Lets get real. Something stinks!
When the shoes on the other foot just ask. Any penalty? Any review? Any suspension? More often than not the answer is ... Nope
