Sadly, plays like this will continue to happen in the game until organizations take it upon themselves to police these actions. Why not stand up and say “This type of play has no place in the game, and doesn’t reflect our organization’s standards. As such, we have terminated the contract of Player X with immediate effect.”
Suspensions seem fairly meaningless. But get on the same page to say, this sort of garbage is a one-way ticket out of hockey might actually do something...
Sorry, I know it’s a pipe dream. I’m taking myself to the quiet room as I’ve apparently suffered some sort of head injury today.
