That hair pull takedown and head slam is pretty damning.  IMO every bit as dangerous as McSorely baseball bat swing to the back of Odelin’s head.

Disagree.

He should be punished for punching Buchnevich while he was down.  After that play, Panarin was the aggressor, it was a hockey fight and Panarin (at his size) had no business going after Wilson.   It's hockey, and why smaller players didn't make the NHL years ago because they would get rag dolled and injuried in physical confrontations.

Schoolyard BS that too many hockey people think is more than OK, but even somehow required.

At this point make the game purely a skills contest, eliminate checking and any touching after the whistle is an automatic ejection.

Wilson would not have done this years ago because he woulda had to answer to Probert or Twist or Ray at some point.    You think he's gonna release his hold of Panarin because of threat of disciplinary action?  Lol.

If the disciplinary action was the remainder of this season and 41 games next year... yea. I think he would probably do this ***** less.

There is for sure no more fear with guys like Wilson and Marchand... they do as they please now. Anyways cannot believe McDavid has 91 points in only 50 games (31 goals 60 assist). Absolutely incredible display! Of course they are playing in the weak Northern Division but still amazing. he has 6 games to get 9 points to hit 100 in only 56 games! I say he does it...they play Vancouver for the next 3 games, then Montreal for 2 before one last game versus Vancouver. Neither Van or Mont great defensively so Connor should rack up points no problem...

Meanwhile Austin Mathews has scored 39 goals in 48 games...Leafs only have 4 games left so no chance for 50 but still amazing as well.

If I were the rangers I would pull a Sabres circa 2007. Next time you get a faceoff with Wilson on the ice, don't even attempt to play the puck. Just send 5 guys after him at once.

Yeah, the Sabres really showed 'em.

Is it possible this fine is just Phase One of league action? Are we assuming the Panarin stuff won't be disciplined?

People are assuming the Panarin stuff won't be disciplined.  Based on this league's track record, that would seem to be a valid assumption.

The league better start getting control. Why am I sceptical.

Happy 38th birthday, Derek Roy.  He's played the last two seasons with EHC München.  He was a significant part of the last time the Sabres iced a good team.

Just came here to post this.  This freaking league...

It's not the league it's the maximum fine under the CBA. The league would love to have larger fines but the players union doesn't want them to have that power. So yes, $5000 is nothing, but it does not mean he will not be suspended.

It’s already been said no additional discipline is coming.

I watched a great documentary on Prime last week called "Ice Guardians". Won't be a popular show for people who think fighting is dumb and should be banned. They polled the entire league and 98% of the players don't want fighting taken away. They also think the instigator rule is stupid as well. As for concussions, they had a neurologist do many studies and his conclusion was that only 5% of concussions resulted from fights. They also showed that how in the Euro league, there are a lot more dirty plays because there is no fighting allowed. Guys are more open to taking cheap shots because they don't have to fight.

It was an eye opening documentary to be sure. A lot of things I didn't know, and was surprised to find out. Razor even got some face time on the show.
