    Default NHL Player Safety, As Usual, Is A Joke

    NHL Player Safety ‏@NHLPlayerSafety 22m

    Montreal’s Andrew Shaw suspended three preseason games for boarding Washington’s Connor Hobbs.
    Preseason? My God. What in the actual hell are you doing NHL.

    Does Shaw even want to play in these games? He might actually feel rewarded.

    Now, now, I'm sure Shaw will learn his lesson and never do it again.

    Remember that brief period where it seemed like Player Safety understood what both words in their name meant? Yeah, looks like someone lost the office dictionary again.

    It would be nice if the NHL had an equation that determined the suspension length. Like it had multipliers on categories like…
    Hit from behind? 3
    Along the boards? 5
    Force of hit (using sensors?)? 3
    Past history of suspension? 1

    3x5x3x1 = 45. Then there’s a chart that has like 1-10 no suspension, 11-19, 3 games, 20-29, 4 games…..

    Just something instead of how the NHL Safety Department felt that day.

    End of the day it's all about $$$ Shaw's contract $5.5mil/year > Hobbs $655000/year
    So it's all good in NHL books... 3games...

    I think the NHL should do something more so the players feel the pain.
    Example: Player A takes out Player B for 1month. Player A has to pay Player B his 1month pay as compensation.
    Dirty hits will be gone in no time. *But NHLPA will never allow it*
