Wheel of justice. Should have been a two game suspension but likely doubled due to the player and the game time, both of which should be irrelevant when determining suspensions.

Andersson deserves the 4 games.

Just take it and move on.

No he doesn't.

He doesn't deserve any games but 4 is ridiculous.

Give him 2 and move on especially for a first time offender.

Go look at Kassians history he shoukd have been thrown out of the league.

It will get reduced to three and he will be able to play in the outdoor game.

I think 4 games is an appropriate number of games but the Heritage Classic kind of pushes it over the edge for me.

GL

If I were Andersson I'd do anything to avoid that outdoor game. Those things are miserable.

What a joke , back in my day guys weren't these lily Livered Poltroons like today's players afeared of getting a good ol elbow to the chops. Laine was like Deaths head on a mopstick I'm so tired of these mollycoddled millionaires who want to have mental acuity after their careers. So what nincompoop decided on 4 games?
If Laine wasnts such a gollumpus he would never have ran his head into Anderson

I bet it gets reduced but only for monetary gain because it will take longer than a week. League won't be able to show comparables.

It'll probably be the Wideman situation all over again.

By the time the decision is made he'll have sat out more than he should have. Wideman missed 19 games and his suspension ended up getting reduced to 10.

Does it have to be Laine or is it Dealer's Choice?

"Andersson: 1 free Head-Shot of your choice."

Would he have to present the card to the Ref?

More than I thought, but I have no issues with it at all. It was malicious and unnecessary. It's exactly the type of play the DOPS needs to punish harshly.

Who's running DOPS right Now? Holy NHL ....you keep doing you.
