Didn’t like the HNIC panels excusing of it, and glad to see the league is going to look at it.
Question, is this hearing the one where he has an option of an in person, and how long a suspension can they give if they don’t give that option?

Honestly, #### the HNIC panel.
Hopefully it is made clear from this ruling to everybody over there that wailing on a guy from behind who hasn't dropped his gloves is not acceptable.
