hf101 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 What is up with the department of player safety? I looked briefly at the headlines today and saw 3 players recently fined. Fines now for game penalties? Quote Philadelphia Flyers forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel has been fined $4,633.62, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for roughing Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin during NHL Game No. 37 in Philadelphia on Monday, Jan. 18, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today. The incident occurred at 17:58 of the third period. Aube-Kubel was assessed a double-minor penalty for high-sticking. https://www.nhl.com/news/nicolas-aube-kubel-fined-for-roughing-rasmus-dahlin/c-320460530 Quote Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson has been fined $3,987.07, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for slashing Calgary Flames forward Sean Monahan during NHL Game No. 42 in Calgary on Monday, Jan. 18, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.

hf101 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 These are now fines for minor penalties. In the past it was only major penalties that were assessed fines. I didn't realize that there was some rule change new for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra skater Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Maybe it's in the covid protocols? I don't know, I didn't read the full protocols, but as teams may get short on players and even a minor can take a player off the ice.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I guess if all these "finings" continue, we may find ourselves in a league where EVERYONE is a Lady Byng candidate. Watch for it... Calls and fines for 'roughing the puck carrier' 'Excessive celebrations after goals' 'Damaging the ice surface by skating too hard moving up ice' 'Goalie penalties for taking too many water sips during TV time outs' Edited January 22, 2021 by TropicalFruitGirl26 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
