With the Canucks back in action tonight. we knew that there would be a decision from the NHL’s DoPS today. And to no one’s surprise, Erik Gudbranson is indeed suspended for tonight’s contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Here’s the hit again in case you missed last night’s debacle.
While I was anticipating at least a pair of games, it’s a punishment and the DoPS gives the impression that they are taking these kinds of plays seriously. Well, they are as long as you don’t take a look at what Zack Kassian did last night.
