  1. Cool. When he’s back, he can start on the 4th line and earn his minutes back and Vinnie can keep playing elevated minutes.

  2. if you read his ruling, i think this is entirely fair. bettman gives no ground on whether this deserved a suspension. but the NHLPA argued other players (marchand, kadri, kane, rinaldo, and wilson) who have received similar suspensions did not see such drastic increase in games suspended between fourth and fifth suspensions. bettman agreed with only that portion and reduced it.

    if you don’t see the logic in this, you are being blinded by your own personal disdain for him or dumb.
