9pts in 15 playoff games for McDavid (against actual playoff teams).

4pts at even strength in those 15gms.

Marner will probably have similar stats if he doesn’t get his act together.
Combined with the stupid penalty it wasn’t a good look in game one

Fucking hilarious.

Tom Wilson tries multiple times to crack Panarin's head on the ice, flexes afterwards in pride and celebration and gets a lifetime achievement award from Parros himself with a 2 for 1 coupon at the rub & tug. Kadri throws a hit that was bad, but we've seen way worse, and gets 8 games.

There's only two explanations. Dops is either heavily racist, or they provide assymmetrical punishment to players they feel don't follow the fucking "code" to their satisfaction. So endanger as many careers out there as you want with minimal punishment, as long as you're willing to fight like a man afterwards or some shit, all is forgiven.

I’d wager (but not agree at all) that one event is a hockey play and the other is after the whistle. They don’t hate fighting and feel that it caters to the WWE yay violence crowd, but limiting head shots due to liability while in play is something the legal dept is pushing as well as the medical professionals. Just a guess though.
 
Issue with Kadri is he keeps doing the same thing at the same time of year and ignores the warnings/suspensions. They had to give him more games than his last suspension.

if anything this makes it worse for me.

Naz was a legit, if dirty, hockey play.

Wilson had nothing to do with the play and was just running around lime a neanderthal.

Isn’t he no longer considered a “repeat offender” by the league’s definition though? What’s good for the goose has to be good for the gander

Naz was worse than Wilson IMO. It’s a head shot at high speed. And Naz is also a dirty repeat offender. They had to throw the book at him.

They got one right.

In isolation, yes. But relative to the precedents they’ve established? Brown guy gets held to a stricter standard

I'd wager some of these DoPS fancy themselves as homeland security.

Wrong.

A stricter precedent was established for a similiar hit.
Or at the very least an equal standard.

Tom Wilson, another dirty repeat offender, was awarded a 20 regular season games supension by the DOPS for a "legit, if dirty, hockey play" of the same nature.



He went into appeal to get the sentence lowered to 14 games, but point still stands, even when taking into consideration that suspended playoffs games are worth more than suspended regular season games :

Nazem Kadri was not held to a stricter standard than Tom Wilson when comparing hits of a similar nature from notorious heand-hunters.

Oranges with oranges.

Tom Wilson was a repeat offender (it had been less than 18 months since his most recent suspension at the time...multiple suspensions within that 18 months for illegal hits) at the time of the Sundqvist hit. Kadri has had no suspensions in the previous 18 months, so no longer carries the status of repeat offender according to the CBA

So if we do the DOPS math

Tom Wilson gets 14 regular season games (with reg season games worth roughly .5 playoff games when you try to compare regular season vs playoff suspensions) while being a 2 time illegal hit repeat offender at the time of this hit you're talking about. Nazem Kadri wasn't a repeat offender at the time of this incident (his last suspension was in April 2019) and got 8 playoff games (roughly the equivalent of 16 regular season games).

I mean, that doesn't seem like the same standard to me, especially when we've seen the kid gloves Wilson has been handled with this year (Bettman having to personally get involved on the Carlo hit and then the Panarin incident getting a fine)
