Did anyone see the Desjardins hit? How in the fuk is that worth 5 and a game? That is absolutely brutal. What is this league turning into. A nice clean shoulder check like that and because the mayers lands in the ice like that they call it? Then you wonder why so many guys are scared to hit now, they get stupid penalties like that called on them and could cost their team. It's really awful that trying to get rid of all these head shots and concussions is turning the game into ringette lol these guys get paid enough money and know the risk in going into hockey. If they don't want to get head injuries then pick a different career. Just my opinion though!

Agreed with you. That was a perfect check, not blindside or jumping or anything. It is a worrying sign for the way the league is heading for sure.

I agree clean hit... but I think it was semi-blindside.

[cotes17]

Yeah a bit but that's partly the deafen mans fault but mayers should have his head up. I can't really blame desjardins for that hit

[hockeynut]

Awful call. But the NHL has been brutal this year with goals called off, interference penalties, and clean hits being called penalties.

I'm a Chicago fan and even I thought it was clean. Definitely not worth a 5 game suspension.

Never go big on hockey.. NHL refs have been awful for years, yaawn

[Mike Huntertz]

Clean. Tough if he ain't looking.
