NHL Player Safety Hands Out 10 Game Suspension That Will Seriously Impact The Bruins Game Today
The NHL Department of Player Safety has handed out a 10 game suspension that is going to impact the Boston Bruins game today.
It was just confirmed that Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman has received a huge 10-game suspension, which was announced late Monday night, and it's going to impact the Bruins game today.
The Boston Bruins are set to faceoff against the Minnesota Wild tonight, and they are already without Kaprizov who got injured last week. Now losing Hartman is a big loss to their lineup, and will give the Bruins a big advantage.
The NHL Department of Player Safety has now revealed why they decided to give Hartman a 10 game suspension.
In the past the Player Safety has been known to be controversial, letting players off easy with little fines, but they have absolutely put their foot down on this play.
Some fans believe the Player Safety were a bit harsh on Hartman, but at the end of the day, this was a dirty play, and Hartman got what he deserved.
NHL Department of Player Safety explains why Hartman got 10 games
«Ryan Hartman contends he is attempting to use his hand to regain his balance using Stützle for support, and their fall to the ice is accidental.»
«We disagree. He chooses to take advantage of a vulnerable player in an unacceptable fashion.»
This also isn't Hartman's first time, he is a repeat offender which doesn't help his cause at all. But the biggest reason he got 10 games was due to the fact they felt it wasn't a hockey play.
"It is important to note that this is not a hockey play. Hartman contends that he is attempting to use his hand to regain his balance using Stützle for support and that their fall to the ice is accidental. We disagree."
Hartman was handed a major penalty off of the initial play, and was ejected from the game, but with how terrible the Player Safety has been this season, many believed he was just going to get a slap on the wrist.
