Spezza makes minimum wage...

 

Actually, even at minimum wage it should be over $50k.  So that number is wrong I think...

Maybe it's after taxes and escrow or something? Not really sure.

He's a 1st time offender.   In his case it's by game days missed over the full season.

 

There are 200 days in this season and he is missing 6 game days.  

 

6/200 x 750K = USD 22'500.-

Are people seriously calling for 2 games?! 

An intentional knee-on-knee is MAYBE 2 games.. this was an intentional knee to the head!

We saw Tavares go down for a similar thing. Who cares if he's a "class act", if you're intentionally kneeing a guy in the head, which can have serious-long term effects on a player, then you should pay for your actions.

Spezza is lucky it was only 6, seriously, it should have been 10..

 

Do you think the league is actually learning?

 

If the NHL would have got this right 17 years ago..

Bertuzzi would have been one of the fabled Hall of Fame power forwards the league had seen..      it no,  the NHL let it go to “code”.

 

THE REPLAY DOES NOT LIE.

One of the rare times I thought DOPS got it right. 

 

-100% on purpose and retaliatory 

-admitted he knew it was Pionk

-had to get low to connect

-led with the knee

 

They probably would have given Spezza 10 if he was a Canuck or alternately  2 if Pionk was a Canuck.

While Spezza did deserve a suspension for the knee, 6 games is a bit of an overreaction. If the useless zebras had done their job initially, this would have never happened. How does a vet with a squeaky clean record like Spezza get 6 games, and a scumbag like Marchand only get 3. The DoPS is so random and inconsistent, it's beyond words.

Isn't he retired now?

Still chairman of the NHL's board of governors.  

 

He passed over the ownership of the Bruins to his children but he's still at the top of the organisation as chairman of the Bruins.
