gecksLol Schenn gets a 3 game suspension for charging Oshie, that's fucking ridiculous. Bellmare's hit gets 1 game, Chimera on Voracek gets nothing, countless other hits from both teams that were way worse than what Schenn did got nothing.
I'm not even mad about the suspension, it's just the lack of consistency from the NHL DPS that bothers me. They've been horribly inconsistent all season long. The NHL seriously needs to look into that department and figure out what the fuck is wrong there, because they're clearly missing something.
I honestly don't have much of a problem with the Schenn 3 game suspension. He clearly had an upward motion to his hit instead of a purely forward motion.
As you said, the leagues lack of consistence is the major problem here. The lack of consistency is why players like Chimera continue to make blatant hits like he did to Voracek. He got away with it and other players in the league will see that incident and try to get away with their own hits. The NHL is creating their own problem by not cracking down on "all" illegal hits.
They are also taking away from the game we all love. Lets face it, hockey is the most team oriented and physical of all the major sports. If the league keeps taking hitting out of the game it will change everything we love about hockey IMO.
