Yzerman fleeced Bergevin...That was obvious from the get go.

The 'injury' is between his ears...

Cross check? Bert nailed him with a sucker punch (likely knocking Moore unconscious) then rode him down onto the ice...I think it's fair to say this was likely a premeditated act (not the sucker punch per say but a physical altercation)...Something completely different in regards to Scheifele/Evans which took place within a fraction of a second. If Evans skates off on his own without any lingering effects...No suspension - maybe a fine.

Because we're knuckleheads...Or at least I am.

NHL discipline works the same way as an outside court of law? If that’s the case why wasn’t Wilson charged with aggravated assault and battery when he went after Panarin - or at least a lengthy suspension given his prior history. DoPS does their own thing - partly based on what the NHL/NHLPA have agreed upon - partly based on public opinion and/or outcry. As others have said - the primary reason for the punishment was courtesy of the injury. No injury - probably a fine at most - especially taking into consideration he’s the Jets best player and has no prior suspensions/discipline by the DoPS.

Gotta play this to remind myself of the good times in the past and hopeful for the future...Commercial circa spring/summer 2008.

Habs looking like the 2012 LA Kings. Looks as though they'll get nearly a full week to rest if the Avs/Knights series goes to 7.

Doubt if the DoPS would've done a thing if there hadn't been an injury...Maybe a fine, and that would've been yesterdays news to most.

Thanks for the info. While I feel skating is important - sometimes it’s prioritized over other important assets such as offensive prowess in the forms of shooting and creativity.

Any relation to Max? Doh!

But I like villains...

What makes Chaz Lucius more intriguing than Kent Johnson? Forgive my ignorance since I know next to nothing about these prospects.

It’s getting to the point where physical contact in hockey should be eliminated since there’ll always be injuries/concussions and a growing number of fans who find it difficult seeing these incidents taking place.

We wouldn’t be talking about the hit or the suspension had Evans not gotten injured.

Yes - I can vouch for this. He even went on to say that he’ll change his last name to Bergevin if the Habs win the Cup.

2 would’ve been adequate
