Major Suspension Coming For Stephenson?
Fan reaction seemed to agree that the hit was dirty and has no place in today's game.
Here's why Chandler Stephenson was given a game misconduct and major penalty. Very late (and pretty dirty) crosscheck after the whistle.
Some fans are not so convinced though that the cross-check was to a dangerous area.
The NHL should suspend Chandler Stephenson for this clear cross-check to the head of Garnet Hathaway. This is atrocious and should not be tolerated!
This fan through their sarcasm believes the play was embellished and was just a regular cross-check to the chest. Either way, Stephenson will likely have a meeting with the league. He will face at least a fine and a possible suspension.
What do you think though? Is this a suspendable hit?
