Auston Matthews Suspended for Two Games for His Crosscheck on Dahlin

[K-9]

He should get a game just for the level of Smolinski smugness he showed after he scored. That in itself was an affront to the hockey gods. Game wasn’t over, A hole.

For the first time in a very long time, I thought the Sabres actually handled the situation on ice as a normal hockey team would, thus not relying on a league who refuses to punish players in a requisite manner.

I loved the Aaron Dell hit, and fine, as well.

Should have been more but probably wouldn't have gotten anything if it wasn't National TV outdoor game

[LGR4GM]

If Matthews doesn't do this to the best known Sabre at this point, does he get anything?

Suspended? Doug, kick him off the tour!

Im disappointed I couldn't find a gif for this

Gives other guys two games to try and catch him for the Rocket Richard trophy.

I think the suspension is fair, that was a vicious retaliation from a Lady Byng candidate. Scratch him off that list.

He'll get 2 games.  Book it.

The NHL will use his sorry ass to send a message.

I say 2 games because it was a star player with a dangerous hit on another star player.  Yes.  Rasmus is a star in the league and the NHL knows it.

More than expected but should have been more..

This is the perfect photo to remember this incident by.

He was trying to Eichel Dahlin!

What do you think that is, a 95 flex? 

[Stoner]

I will always believe there was a second crosschecker, on the snowy mound.

[Huckleberry]

phone calls usually are suspensions , I'm fine with 2 games.   Crosby is a dirtier player and gets away with more *****.

No.  It was aliens.  Get your conspiracies straight!  Now, let me put on my tin foil turban...

Good.

I think that the NHL needs to make Matthew’s play goal for 2 more games for the AreLnas after suspension. 🥅😉

He is freaking off the ice! What another ‘entitled man baby’ (2nd in Sabres last two games)!

I am shocked.

And yet he said I think his stick rode up Dhalin's shoulder... what a crock

Silly basic explanation….. still 2 games & we check his a$$ all next game. Have Hayden mirror him.

The best discipline was Cozens' legal hit later that period that sent Matthews flying.

I dunno.  The wood Hespeler in my basement didn’t have a flex rating.
