BREAKING : Taylor Hall fined maximum by the NHL for roughing up Leafs d-man
The NHL Player Safety department just made the announcement online.
Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall received a $5000 fine, the maximum allowable under the league's CBA, for roughing Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin yesterday.
The play created quite the stir on social media last night. Maple Leafs fans were calling for Hall to get a suspension, refering to his gesture as a blatant sucker punch. Toronto fans wen't as deep as calling Hall's gesture as the "Bertuzzi 2.0" incident.
On the flip side, Bruins fans were debating that Hall was only sticking up for himself after being crushed by Lyubushkin while he wasn't looking.
Here's a look at the incident Hall was fined for:
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But at least the Bruins forward won't be missing any games for his actions.
