I did check the 2018/19 suspensions and "Illegal Check to the Head" starts at 2 games. Karlsson got 2 games earlier this year with virtually the same circumstances and history.

I do feel bad for any kids that have tickets to Saturday's game against the Ducks.
Yes, that suspension thing is a double edge sword and the price is crazy in the fines. Something different needs to be done. A different formula for the financial end of things.

That was done at 10 Am... Sheshh, you have to get this stuff done when you valuable players on a valuable team. You guys should try it some time.

Oh well. The snowflakes will be happy. Don’t protect yourself when you see a hit coming. Take it and cry foul. Snowflake response.

Once again I think it was a weak hit to the head.....and nothing more than a minor penalty!

True...but the league is sticking to their guns (rightly so) about protecting players and getting head shots out of the game. They will keep sending this message, regardless of who gets suspended. It has done wonders for getting predatory hitters like Raffi Torres and Matt Cook out of the game...

2 games is the right call imo, he will forfeit about $320,000 In salary so it's a real punishment when you add the 2 together.

I'm sure all those that are crying it was unfair would be screaming blue murder and calling for a 10 game suspension if someone hit McDavid like that ??

A guy loses his balance, leans forward and gets rocked and it’s the hitters fault. NHL has no consistency. Don’t suspend your best player for that. NHL Doesn’t protect its stars. Gotta to be more to this than we know because that’s shouldn’t have been a two gamer for a first time offender.

First off, the suspension takes the trade rumours on McJeezuz off the table (can't trade a suspended player)
The rest of the NHL should be on NOTICE that besides being the BEST player on the planet..He's an official BAD A_$_$

Yup. Let's Go Oilers! Beat those dirty hateful ugly Ducks!!

If Lucic plasters Perry all over the boards, I'm gonna give $20 to the Stollery in his honor!! I hate Perry and the Ducks.

Or maybe I give it to the Alberta separatist party....albertafightsback.com

Loved their billboard.
