Based on the standard the NHL has set this was obviously not going to be a suspension, and shouldn't have been based on that standard.
Based on the standards that ~should~ be in place, this ~should~ have been at least 2 games.
A half shift financial penalty.
Best part is that this shows everyone is a homer deep down.

I don’t think it looked that bad. He was clearly frustrated and it was intentional which is the worst thing about it. The $5k fine is a joke, but it's a joke to anybody who receives an NHL salary.
For anybody who says there is 2 sets of rules in situations like this saying that Tom Wilson would be suspended, well,ya... no kidding. Wilson has a bit of a history with this kind of thing. That shouldn’t be taken into consideration?

How long have they been dishing out these "fines" for minor penalties?
I don't really get these coffee change fines.

This is all there is to it really.
And McDavid has a suspension history. He’s no Wilson, but this isn’t the first time he’s put another players health at risk. And it’s not like it was a hit gone bad like you could make the case for with Myers or Dube (both of which should have been suspended). It was pure head hunting.
I believe my position on the DOPS is clear. They are complete and utter bull shit.

Props to you for crunching the numbers, but it's not really a fair way to break down his earnings. He might only play 22 minutes a game but he works a hell of a lot more than that so it's not really a meaningful way to measure anything. You wouldn't break down any other profession that way.
But hey, Chandler Stephenson got three games for the same shit not two days later. The DOPS - I just don’t have the words anymore for how crap this group is.

Agreed.
Someone like Tom Wilson with his history doesn’t even need to be brought into this conversation to claim that a fine makes no sense here, just swap McDavid and Kotkaniemi on this play and KK would be sitting for 2.
Maybe Chandler Stephenson saw this hit and assumed there was a new standard only to quickly be informed that he isn’t special.
