Default Douglas Murray suspended three games.

I guessed that it would be this many games.

Too little. 10 games would have been my ruling.

I do not disagree with the two of you, it is Shanahan and the league that decide this and we know how they work.

That's as blatant an elbow/intent to injure as I have seen since Stevens was on the ice. That should have been an easy 15 games. The Gorram Wheel of Justice spins again. You spineless coward Shanaban.

edit: Hahah 3 seconds too late for fotze

Should have been suspended for the rest of the regular season and maybe a playoff series. Are you able to suspend someone from a playoff series, making the suspension vary from 4-7 games?

Thought it'd be 10 minimum.

If you were to look up in the dictionary the type of hit the NHL wants to remove, you'd see this. What a joke of a suspension.

I've noticed that ever since Shanahan started this job, when he started he was handing down tough, long suspensions. Suspensions that made me think the NHL was on the right path. But it seems as time goes on, and I don't know if it's GMs complaining or the NHLPA, but suspensions are getting shorter and shorter, even though the same style hits are happening. 3 games? Ridiculous.

He's a veteran and first time offender. People wanting 10 games?

3 games was fine, a lot more than Milan "I didn't really spear anyone" Lucic got.

Ridiculously light penalty for such a vicious hit.

Was hoping for 10 games. First offender or not, players need to be made accountable for thier actions.
