GAMEDAY: All Habs Headlines
► Makeup fine?: Pittsburgh Penguins forward James Neal was fined $2,500 for striking Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban on the helmet as he was falling to the ice during Saturday night’s game. The fine was announced by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety headed by Brendan Shanahan.
Frankly the fine is silly, was assessed for a minor incident and smacks of a makeup call to pacify the Montreal Canadiens shortly after losing Max Pacioretty to a three-game suspension. It also ignores the fact that Subban slew-footed Neal on the play. Dozens of far more serious incidents have gone completely unpunished this season.
This is further evidence of Shanahan’s inconsistency in assessing supplementary discipline.
