I know the penalty is baked into the CBA, but they should base it on the league minimum salary and then prorate it upwards for those that make more. McDavid's salary this year is $14M, so the $5K penalty, adjusted would be $100K. or $1.12 for you and me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading a reddit thread and someone mentioned that for someone making 100K a year, that's $40. I'll pay $40 to elbow some coworkers. that would be $40 and 2 minutes in the bathroom stall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Listening to the talking heads on NHL network today make excuses for McDavid was disgusting. “Oh.he puts up with a lot of abuse. He was frustrated. He’s never done that sort of thing before”. (When in fact he has been suspended for an illegal hit to the head in 2019). It was a dirty, late, intentional play where he targeted the head. He got off with less than a slap on the wrist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 That's as Mcpredatory as Mcpossible, he should have been Mcragdolled followed by a 2 game Mcspension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Doesn't get more obvious than that for deliberate attempt to injure. Rome got 4 playoff games for a lot less. Should give McDiver a minimum of 10 games and show that gutless punk that he's not above the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Jesperi's teammates, oh I don't know....maybe Shea Weber, should flatten McDingleberries in the corner and send him to the quiet room as a lesson. That might still happen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The league paid less attention to this than the ref who was 10 feet away. What a McJoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 All i will say is two minutes for elbowing was the right call. Hockey fans that have been around long enough should understand this. 90% of the league would be suspended pre-cap with the rules nowadays. Howe would get half his points. Same with Richard for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the NHL just had to fire a problem ref with a long history of match fixing who had been caught red-handed, this isn't the right time to give preferential treatment to crybabies who keep throwing tantrums when they're checked tightly. The NHL has a serious issue with integrity and it needs to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man hockey is razor close to becoming women's hockey or 80's-90's all-star game stuff already. Not a thread worthy discussion other from that exact point. Howe elbowed guys, Messier elbowed guys, so did a ton of other guys, took their two minutes and that was it. About as ridiculous as half of Wilson's suspensions. Hockey is supposed to be rough. McDavid elbowed someone at it makes the news (for real like whoopie). Move on nothing to see here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone (on our side) get worked up when Bure took out Churla? That is the best part of the new schedule... sometimes teams are getting really annoyed with each other after playing a few games in a row. When we go back to normal divisional play, I hope they keep the baseball style series where we play 2-4 games in a row against an opponent. Nice to see another rational post. This isn't figure skating after all. Not yet anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
