[News] Hartman offered in-person hearing: Suspended 10 games

[Canada 02]

National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman today upheld the suspension that was assessed to Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman for roughing Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle during NHL Game No. 828 in Ottawa on Feb. 1. However, the Commissioner reduced the length of the suspension from 10 to eight games.

What a weird way to phrase it. They didn't uphold it, they reduced it.

lol yeah I thought I was missing something.

How do you reduce a suspension for a repeat offender.

[BACKCHECK!!!]

If I was an NHL player and some repeat-offender [expletive] just intentionally smashed by skull off the ice, and then MY union appealed his suspension, I’d be pretty peed off.

The NHLPA should be leading the charge to get guys like this out of the league.
