The incident prompted a fiery response from a Bruins reporter who publicly called out the NHL for what he perceived as glaring inconsistencies in their disciplinary actions. Expressing frustration, the reporter pointed out the disparity in penalties, highlighting another play involving Cousins that resulted in a two-minute penalty with no suspension.
The reporter didn't stop there, drawing attention to a separate incident involving Evander Kane, who escaped penalty despite a forceful collision with Jonas Brodin that sent him crashing through the glass. The impassioned call for consistency in penalties concluded with a plea for future infractions to be treated uniformly, emphasizing the need for a fair and standardized approach moving forward.
