Figured George needed his own topic..
Residence: Las Vegas, Nevada
Nationality: USA
Here's the latest .. Florida player Greer almost turns Connor Zary into a paraplegic.. only gets 3 games .. hate to see what he'd get in the "playoffs" .. a $5K fine?

McDavid gets 3 for high hut on Garland. Thought it was a bit harsh ….. confirmed. Brutal. That department needs to be overhauled. Both Gudas and Greer should be double digit suspensions.

That's a great comparison.
The 3 games McD got were for an incidental collision.. and had zero prior history..
Both Greer and Gudas hits were deliberate.. both had priors.. Gudas extensive.. both hits were far more dangerous.. Gudas blew up Matthew's knee.. and Greer could have put Zary in a wheel chair.
Here's Greer on Hoffman.. he likes to cross check.. he got ONE (1) game.

Despite years of questionable calls, he still has a job. So who is happy with how he's been running things - the owners or the players?
I can't imagine the players enjoy the lack of accountability, but maybe they do since the short suspensions mean they stand to lose less money? I also don't understand how the owners are happy with their players getting horrible injuries with little repercussions to the offender.
Someone must be happy with this, because if not, why is the DOPS still run the way it is?

Good question. Why is he (are they) still there?
Everyone can see the failure in decision equivalencies.. and the comical explanations provided.
.. you could say the same thing about the refereeing.. Why is it allowed to be so bad?
Maybe the "inconsistency" it provides is the "feature".. its left as an available tool for a few franchises to gain an advantage over others? .. like having a relative as the chief of police.. he's there if you need him..  .. and if you're not related you're on the short end.
Just a hypothesis :)

Vegas was his home town as well when he made Nurse the only guy in a decade to get the suspension after a late game instigator, for a fight the other guy was trying to get out of Nurse the entire game, in a game we were winning 4-1.
Parros revealed lots of people in DoPS are the exact same people that have been there from the start. There may be a whole bunch of people that stink at that job in charge that have honorary status (Parros alluded to this as well, talking about all the accolades these veteran members have), and they may have as much or more say than Parros does. So, just changing the figurehead might not even matter, the old boys club that are still there might have a hand in picking the replacement.
Seems like a department that just needs a full cleansing.

I feel like Colin Campbell still has his fingers all over that room too. Never a surprise when the Panthers guys' get off light.
