Worth it
> Boston’s Charlie Coyle has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Toronto’s Tyler Bertuzzi.

Coyle was also suspended $5000 for cross checking Bertuzzi. Kadri was also suspended 5 games as a result of the aftermath.
Now do Coyle’s cross check on Bertuzzi (who was bleeding after the fact, btw).
Edit: looks like he got fined too. A shame the refs didn’t properly assess him a double-minor for it.
Brad Marchand in shambles
so spearing is cool? got it.
Still waiting for the Rempe fine.
you are apparently supposed to just sit there and take getting speared in balls. cool league
Yeah, kinda deserved. The fact he was speared probably save him a suspension
would love to see Paros get speared and see how he reacts.
What are your thoughts on the marchand hit on knies? He’s very accident prone, and I feel like despite it being an “accident” he shouldve gotten suspended for a couple. No more of this shit
Now do Marchand.
worth it
Worth it!
Do players on the team throw down money in a pot to “thank” the fine getter?
And nothing for the hit on Knies.
Business as usual at DOPS
Worth. Every. Fucking. Penny
All the players should give him a cross-check every shift
Worth every penny, I’m sure.
Start a go fund me. I’m in
That makes sense.
Set up the go fund me now haha
Freebie hit on Debrusk 😏
Knies getting one too?
I also want to add; hilarious how this is a 5k fine and Rielly gets the finger wag from the League for 5 games. League doesnt want players to retaliate to disrespect but this is different? lol
Do it again Jake

If I were Jake I would frame whatever paperwork he gets from this
Can we crowdsource this money and pay it on behalf of 31 other team fans, Liliegren, and some players who’ve had their faces licked by Marchand?
if he wasn’t already a millionaire I’d start a go fund me
Shit I would’ve done it twice. That’s a bargain
2 for 1.
Best $5000 McCabe has spent this year..
Cross-checking? He just lost control of his stick.
Also, Marchand fell down on his own. Any incidental contact was just McCabe trying to prevent Marchand from getting injured when he fell.
Can I chip in?
Might be worth a go fund me. We should all chip away in as a thank you
Fuck Brad Marchand. POS. I love Jake McCabe, steadily climbing as my favourite player not wearing 34.
Someone drop a gofundme. Not because I think McCabe needs the money, but because I’d like the chance to feel like I personally contributed to Brad Marchand getting cross checked in the face.
Fire that fucking idiot George Parros. What a fuck up
Embarrassing league.
5k to smash a rat? Good shit.
And yet here I was thinking that he was going to get suspended. But at least player safety didn’t wait three days to report the discipline.
Worth every penny I’m sure!
For $5,000, he should have done it again
