I agree with the suspension, but THREE GAMES! I was thinking one, maybe two. Kronwall had better get suspended for that hit on Kesler. Get your head out of your ass, Shanahan.

Kronwall didn’t make contact with the head. I’m not a fan of him, he leaves his feet and should pay, but there’s a big difference in his hit and Engo’s.

True, but Kronwall leaves his feet on almost every hit and to suspend Engo three times for his first offense doesn’t make sense. The NHL does a great job of selectively enforcing the hits to the head. Rinaldo knocked Bortuzzo out with a late elbow to the head and nothing was even looked at on that play. There have been a lot of inconsistencies that we’ve become used to with the Campbell era.

there shouldn’t be a suspension, there’s been far worse hits than this that ppl havent got suspended for

Just because Shanahan and company has dropped the ball on a lot of other illegal plays so far that warranted suspensions, or longer suspensions than what was doled out, does not mean that they should let this one go. The suspension is fair.

no way, there was no intent to injure and he’s not a repeat offender, 1 game at the most

I don’t see how leaving your feet to hit a player in the head should be a 1 game suspension. I love Engo and he’s a clean player, but that was a bad hit. It can happen to the best of them.
