Gabriel Landeskog Suspended For Two Games
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY SportsWell, it's official and I'm not sure anyone is going to be happy about it.
Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog has been suspended 2 games for an illegal check to the head of Boston's Brad Marchand. https://t.co/e0PHYMclPM
— NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) November 13, 2015 The recipient of the hit, Brad Marchand, received a fine himself for sucker-punching Landeskog following the play. No suspension, huh? Of course, because intentional blows to the head aren't NEARLY as bad as a player making residual contact after initially striking the shoulder during the course of play.
Boston's Brad Marchand has been fined $5,000 for roughing Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog.
