Not a poll, just a general question. 

 

Personally, I hope he is out at least ten games. That's was vicious and reckless.

I do.

The NHL views a malicious attempt to injure with a hockey stick (e.g., spearing, butt-ending, high-sticking, or slashing) as a severe violation of safety standards. Such actions warrant immediate match penalties, potential game ejections, significant multi-game suspensions, and substantial fines under the league's rules regarding reckless endangerment. 

Key aspects of the NHL’s view on these actions:

Match Penalties: A deliberate attempt to injure with a stick results in a match penalty, which includes an immediate ejection from the game and an automatic review by the league.

Supplementary Discipline: The Department of Player Safety often imposes long-term suspensions, particularly for repeat offenders or when the action is deemed purely malicious, such as a targeted strike to the head, neck, or groin.

Definition of Intent: The league distinguishes between reckless/careless actions and intentional, premeditated acts designed to cause injury, which fall outside the accepted risks of the game.

Rule 49 & 60: Specific rules govern spearing (Rule 49) and high-sticking (Rule 60), treating deliberate attempts to injure as non-hockey plays.

No previous history?  He’ll get the max fine.

This is the way. He was angry at Dahlin's uncalled slash to his hand, but definitely realized what he'd done post-hack and had an "oh fudge" moment. Suspensions don't work on him, only money.

Max fine plus a game or two.   He could have injured him. 

Anyone remember the Wayne Maki and Ted Green stick swinging fight?  

Send a message to others with Playoffs starting soon.

They were saying on the broadcast last night that he was previously suspended for very similar incidents.  I know the rules are messed up, but if you get suspended for a stick swinging incident, that should never come off the look back record.

I remember Danny Gare and I think Linsman getting into a stick swinging fight

Phone hearing for Malkin.  So it won't be over 5.

He should get at least 1 game because of the shot to the head.

I honestly have no interest in how the NHL disciplines actions like this. They have proven time and time again they are using some archaic set of standards that only the old boys club seems to know.

Why did no one on the ice go after him?

Because he was in the dressing room.

We got a 5 minute power play.   We got a PPG to take the lead.  Then we scored a shorty to put them away.  

That penalty swung the game in our favor.

Dahlin baited him into that, big time. It was awesome. He peppered him the entire shift leading up to that.

Well he didn’t bait him into that

He wasn't in the dressing room when he tried to take the Captain's head off.

So, Rasmus was not hurt they wanted to be sure to get the maximum PP or something?

If the Sabres are truly back and a playoff team someone needed to punch Malkin in the face immediately.
