The NHL Department of Player Safety could hand out more discipline after a wild cross-checking sequence in Tuesday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues.
....."Edmonton forward Jujhar Khaira will have a hearing for cross-checking the Blues’ Vince Dunn, while Dunn was fined $1,942.20, the maximum allowed, for cross-checking Khaira."....
...not a surprise, but Dunn was playing pretty dirty, too....I'm looking at this through my blue and orange tinted glasses, but I think a fine would be sufficient....Kharia is not a normally dirty player....physical, yes - but not dirtry....

The only reason it looks worse than Dunn's is because the stick slid down onto Dunn's neck. I'm happy with the response, guy gets cross checked in the head.. you give it back.. F 'im.
Everyone saying he'll get one .. he'll get two .. because Oilers.

Of course, sometimes it's worth the suspension. Dunn will probably think twice about doing that to Khaira again...Sucks that it was a bad time for lack of discipline - and it cost us, since they scored that third goal on the ensuing PP, but if he was going to take one, at least he made it worthwhile...
