After winning their matchup with the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 last night, the Maple Leafs may have to deal with a bigger problem.
Their star player, Auston Matthews, is in hot water and at risk of being suspended by the NHL's player safety department.
See the footage involved here:
There is clear contact with the Sabres player's head, and according to most experts, Matthews will be suspended.
In your opinion, does this action warrant a penalty?
Would the NHL be more severe if it came from a player like Josh Anderson, in your opinion?
You can imagine that this reopens the debate on the double standard of certain decisions, as far as star players are concerned.
