As much as the NHL does right they have once again redefined incompetence with Leo Komarov‘s suspension. It’s time to get real NHL.
By Chris Wengert
Or perhaps it is crazy to think that a league with a history of incompetence when it comes to discipline would finally make the right decision.
Because once again, the NHL has failed to protect their players.
Leo Komarov was handed a three game suspension for this hit on Ryan McDonagh:
If it were up to me, the offender would receive a suspension for however long the injured player is out. It would take some closing of loopholes to avoid abuse of the rule, but a statement needs to be made.
That statement should be the NHL will not allow a player to be concussed twice in a two week span because its offenders could care less about the consequences.
A statement that it will not allow these clowns to take cheap shots and potentially ruin a person’s career, or even their life.

You have failed yet again NHL. Oh but don’t worry, Ryan McDonagh will be fine.
He’ll be fine until next time.
