He doesn't even see where Doughty's head is, he didn't target the head, it's a penalty worthy play and that's it.
What about when someone punches a player in a scrum? That's a targeted head attack. Why isn't that suspended?
When Tkachuk was tackled in the corner - that's not a hockey play, that's intent to injure. Why aren't the Kings facing supplemental discipline?
Gaudreau's hand was slashed off this year, why was there no additional discipline levied there?
The league lacks consistency and calls whatever the media spins up. It's garbage.
