Parros is the worst player safety clown they've had yet, king of the bozos.
He applies the existing rules and precedents to suit the particular NHL Corp bias that's required, and if there isn't a rule or precenet, he makes them up.
George Parros is a guy that could barely play the game, 18 goals in 9 years warming the bench, became a media favourite.. through his wife.. "Hockey Wives".., played hockey at Princeton, so of course NHL Corp. just loves the image, American, "re-formed" enforcer, who was somehow in University long enough to get a degree.. like a hitman that they turned into a policeman, the cliche "finding redemption" story-line, media eat that crap up like Hawkins Cheezies... too bad the guy is an absolute idiot when it comes to the job he's entrusted to do.
It would be interesting to see if the USA guys get the same length of suspensions as Canadians.
Something stinks up in NHL Corp., starting with Parros, no way Turtlechuk shouldn't have been suspended for those hits on Kassian.
Primary point of impact was clearly Kassians head, you know that's true because Turtle goes screaming right by Kassians shoulder, shoulder absorbed zero energy of the hit. Kassians lucky he isn't in a neck brace.
NHL Corp. is as stupid as it comes, by suspending Kassian and letting Turtle off without even a warning, they've just stated that the only way you can police the game as a player now is to take a number, and go head hunting yourself..
Time to replace Parros, George Laraque! George for a George!

I thought it was pretty much guaranteed that Chris Pronger gets the role when Parros quits?
Parros is terrible. You see him going out of his way to suspend star players so it doesn't look like the NHL favours its stars - which is ridiculous because it probably should favour the ones who make the league all the money.
All his big decisions have been suspending superstar players for reaction plays, and he's regularly ignoring things like Tkachuk where there's clear malice. Oh yeah, and he also ended Cogliano's ironman streak with a pretty iffy suspension. If only Cogs had just slewfooted the guy it would have been fine.
I think that the player safety department has gone a little bonkers. Some of these infractions can be dealt with in-game by the referees. If a guy got a major penalty and tossed from a game, does that automatically mean there should be additional games added to the punishment, especially in a case where the victim isn't injured? Sometimes maybe, but we've moved to where almost every major is getting reviewed and rarely a week goes by without someone getting suspended.

Excluding Voynov, Kuznetsov and Zykov, there's already been 12 suspensions in the NHL this year. I remember a stretch of 4 or 5 seasons where the Oilers didn't have anyone suspended. I can't find a list of historical suspensions, but I don't imagine the Oilers were playing pristine hockey during that period - just it wasn't as prevalent to suspend every incident. Chris Simon and Chris Pronger are going to look much better when all is said and done because there will be a lot more people suspended as often as they are - just for much less serious incidents.
One of the issues is that when every hit gets a suspension, how would Parros deal with a Pronger-style stomping attack now? If McDavid's little hit was 2 games last year, that kind of assault should be 30.
