Suspension Incoming After Wild Player Gets Ejected For Dangerous Hit
Hockey is undeniably a physical game, and within its dynamics, body checking is an integral aspect.
However, the cardinal rule is to exercise caution when the opposing player's numbers become visible, with a clear emphasis on stopping to avoid hazardous plays.
In tonight's clash between the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars, as the second period winds down, the spotlight falls on Stars defender Thomas Harley, controlling the puck along the boards.
Enter Wild forward Brandon Duhaime, charging in and executing a notably perilous hit; witness the incident here.

Duhaime's actions result in a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. Meanwhile, Harley lies on the ice, defended by concerned teammates.
The gravity of the situation is underscored by the undeniable fact that such a hit should never be executed. Duhaime must acknowledge the line he crossed in making that disgusting and dangerous play.
Anticipation lingers for a potential call from the Department of Player Safety in the morning, with the expectation that a suspension of at least a couple of games would be warranted.
However, the unpredictable landscape of disciplinary measures adds an element of uncertainty to the stand for punishment.
