  1. Fair. 

    For all the fans saying it was nothing…Crosby would never do this. It was a lapse in judgement that shows the team culture is absolute garbage starting from the top. 

    Smiling and giving the finger while your team is getting pumped for the second straight game is something. 

  6. It was kind of expecting a multi game suspension because Parros has a passion/gumption for suspending anybody wearing the Maple leaf. But at least the NHL didn’t wait three long days like they did to Rielly when he crosschecked Grieg. I’d love to see the bobble head of that one.

  8. Based off Nylander’s income this is like having to put a dollar in the swear jar for a regular person. Hopefully this story is over now and we can all move on.

  12. Willy rich as fuck who cares but also this more than seth jones almost killing hagel

    Not a real league

  15. In my grade 6 class, my buddy threw up the middle finger during the class picture, his parents had to pay the photographer to come back and retake the photo, according to his dad the financial penalties were very similar to Nylanders

  19. How to predict whether Dops will discipline or not (100% accurate)
    •Offender plays for leafs -> fine/suspension
    •Offender doesn’t play for leafs -> flip a coin
    •Victim plays for leafs ->no fine/suspension
    •Victim doesn’t play for leafs -> flip a coin

  24. There’s numerous other cases that go unpunished (TB and FLA come to mind) but of course this turd Parros has to make an example here as usual total clown show DPS.

  25. He should have flipped the double bird to make it 10 thousand, honestly.

    Ridiculous amount for a player with his salary lol.

  26. I mean yes its deserved, but this is also DOPS telling us that taking someone’s head off is not as bad as flipping off a random influencer at a game

  28. so when is Sergachev being fined for doing the same thing? When is Kolesar being fined for ripping a jersey out of a fans hand? Fuck this league man

  31. He should have slashed someone in the face it would have been more satisfying for the price.

  37. So you get $5000 for raising a middle finger, but only $2300 for a hit to the head that keeps an opponent out for a few games.

    I’m so glad The Department of Panther Success has their priorities straight.

  39. That $5000 goes directly to buying enough ice packs for Panthers players’ forearms and elbows.
