For the hit on Tanner Kero...will cost him about $70000 to boot.

So what, you can't just hammer a guy who doesn't have possession? Weird.

Similar incident with Durzi and Necas. Strange stuff.

Seems light to me. It would be one thing if it was an accidental collision.

He flexed and BURIED this guy who had no expectation of getting checked.

He got his bell rung HARD as you can see by the fencing response.

Should have been 10+ IMO. The league needs to send the message to the players, if you are going to damage the league's image but having a player carted off, we are going to damage your wallet.

That suspension likely buried Connolly's NHL career.

Steamrolling a guy that doesn't play the puck and doesn't know what's about to hit him, and has to get stretchered off. Got lucky it was only 4 games. Should have been a lot more.

Connolly was fresh off the bus from the Rock...really a stupid move by the guy.
