So words are more hurtful than deeds done

 What was the fine to the player

NHL priorties

as expected, gary bettman lets everyone know, ya can't touch this!

[Shekky]

fining the most valuable NHL team and not suspending a repeat offender totally agree with Steve Dangle on this one. Have to agree with NYR on this issue George Parros should be fired.

[gizmo2337]

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more shots fired via a unified message from 25+ other teams that they disagree with the decision. This will probably die off here, but it shouldn't.

[Gnarcore]

Tom Wilson should be dealt with by the players. A simple trip as he skates fast into the corner would serve him right. Or a Pavel like elbow...

 

 

[nuck-lifer]

250K is a drop in the bucket. 

Still glad NYR made their statement against a ridiculous 5K fine, and I'm sure they are too.

[BabychStache]

This league is a joke. Has been for sometime. 

 

Straw/Camel? 

[Nave]

I'm pretty sure what Wilson did was worse than that statement. 

[SirCosmoDuffGordon]

What Wilson did wasn't even that bad. Pretty soon you're all going to be crying about fighting in the league and body checks. 

[Provost]

Seems pretty predictable.  The way they went about it was really poor in my opinion.

Have a fiery interview and call the lack of suspension bull$&!# and that you had made those feelings clear to the league, and that all you care about is the health and safety of your players.

Then take your small fine for saying that and move on...  It serves the optics purpose of standing up for your players and your private discussions with the league are more likely to result in tangible action (like putting someone else in charge of player safety).

If anyone remotely thought that publicly calling out someone personally like that was going to result in Bettman doing anything but pushing back hard... they haven't paid attention the last couple of decades.

NHL = Circus, as in run by clowns.

This is the type of feedback that convinces me that there are people out there who serve no other purpose than to steal oxygen from others. 

[drdeath]

The NHL is crusin' for a Bertuzzin' with decisions like this.

[JM_]

the fine is meaningless. Parros lost a lot of credibility and everyone knows it, this fine won't change that. If anything it amplifies the criticism, given how meaningless it is to the NYRs finances.

Seemed to work well with how the Sedins were treated over the years. /sar

 

Or even for the Canucks players for that matter.

[RWMc1]

 

          Coupled with the peel incident it becomes very apparent that the league is completely corrupt.

Still stalking me because you are salty about looking foolish about the playoffs being out of reach?  Maybe go take a walk and find some joy in your life.

Nope. The fact that you think I'm stalking you just shows how ignorant you are. I can post wherever I damn please. I don't put you on ignore because your takes are sometimes good, but often pretty dumb.

 

Here is another take from you that is unsupported - and I doubt you'll address how the Sedins were treated over the years, even though the Canucks took the classy approach.

It would help if you paid attention to hockey the past decade - you should take your own advice though

hope they pay it in literal pennies in multiple garbage bags
