Cheap shot, absolutely no reason to do so. I don’t think the $5000 will hurt him so much though.Draisaitl Fined $5000 for this:
True. But since the fine is only $5000 why not? Until the league & the NHLPA keep on agreeing to silly small fines players are going to keep on cheap-shotting.Cheap shot, absolutely no reason to do so. I don’t think the $5000 will hurt him so much though.
Of course they will keep on going with dirty plays and such. That and the random uneven referring is what makes the NHL the less credible professional sport of all sports. It’s unfortunate because, imho, it’s the most interesting and exciting sport to watch.True. But since the fine is only $5000 why not?

He tried very hard to make it look accidentalJacob Trouba $5000 fine for this high sticking of Trent Frederic- have to watch the 3rd and 4th replays to fully get a good video of what happened. It appeared that Trouba momentarily forgot what sport he was playing and swung his stick like a baseball bat on Frederic's head:
The Rangers should probably pay the fine. When the Rangers got Trouba they knew "Trouba trouble" was walking through the door, and that's exactly why they got him. They needed a defenseman with an edge because at the time, all of their defensemen were injury prone pussies. They got an enforcer who is a halfway decent player, and now their corps of defensemen is elite.He tried very hard to make it look accidental
Quinn Hughes is looking to prove that he, not Jack or Luke, is the best of the Hughes brothers. The 3 Hughes brothers are like the Hanson brothers in Slap Shot, there is a lot of sibling rivalry going on:As we speak, after 22 games, we have 2 defense men in the top 5 pointers of the league! Quinn Hugues and Cale Makar are showing the hockey world that they belong to the superstars restricted club!
One thing is for sure, all 3 are very talented, so far Jack and Quinn are definitely on top but they all give quite a show to hockey fans.Quinn Hughes is looking to prove that he, not Jack or Luke, is the best of the Hughes brothers.

That is likely but it’ll be up to the player. Other players in similar situations have refused the NHLPA’s interference on their behalf in the past so who knows what he decides to do. And will he really enter the NHL program now that he’s without a team & contract? What if he‘s not an alcoholic & what he did was just one silly bad mistake on his part? No criminal investigation, no NHL investigation. It seems more like he embarrassed himself & the organizatio than anything else. With tbe Hawks already being scrutinized due to their past indiscretions maybe his situation would have been handled differently had it happened with a different organization. Maybe once other teams get the full facts they may want to sign him for the rest of the season. Who knows.Well, since it’s an alcohol abuse related incident, and Perry entered the NHL program, admitting he is struggling with alcohol addiction, it is obvious that the NHLPA will file a grievance and probably win.
