Gurn Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The league has messed this one up imo. Couture could have ended up in a wheelchair. If I was him I'd be thinking of going to the cops and pressing assault charges. Shame the league into doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys get crosschecked with more force than that in the playoffs (well not in the head) without a penalty even being called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 And Hoffman's stick riding up Dillon's mitigates it a little. Still a bad play to crosscheck anywhere near that high (or at all, wasn't ever a fan of it) so I'm good with the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage to the cervical bones is bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage to the cervical bones is bad news. a crosscheck attempt at the shoulder riding up like that would never hit the exposed part of the neck tho. can still be a serious concussion though. i think all suspension should be longer than they are in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
