The NHL Player Safety Makes A Joke Of Themselves With Recent Announcement

The incident, captured in the play under review, saw Gudbranson tackling Cousins and delivering a series of punches, despite efforts by officials to intervene. This retaliation came after Cousins delivered a dangerous hit from behind earlier in the game, resulting in only a two-minute minor penalty for Cousins.

The one-game suspension for Gudbranson highlights the league's stance on on-ice altercations, even in the context of perceived retaliation. The decision is generating conversations online, particularly among Red Wings fans who also recently witnessed a six-game suspension handed down to Detroit's David Perron by NHL Player Safety. The contrasting severity of these suspensions has become a notable topic of discussion in the hockey community.
