Some of you are so dramatic. Nobody is vindicating Subban here. We all know it was a bad slash. The issue is that you never see five and a game for that slash ever until last night regardless of the technicalities of the rule book. Warrener (he would know more than any of us what you can get away with) on 960 this morning said that was something he did almost ever game and the punishment was never that severe.
I hate the Habs more than any team in the East save for maybe the Leafs so it's not like I actually want them to succeed in the playoffs but I do believe the NHL is horribly inconsistent in how different officials call the games and it bugs the heck out of me. If they are going to give Subban 5 and a game for a two hander there better be 5 and a game for two handers going forward and I have my doubts we are going to see that.
