The DoPS has put on their pants

The NHL department of player safety awarded a three-game suspension to goaltender Aaron Dell. The Buffalo Sabres goaltender defied the talented young Drake Batherson, who was severely injured in the sequence.

Batherson, who is having a great season, fell heavily into the boards behind the net, and then all indications are that he suffered a left leg injury. You can clearly see this one taking all the pressure at once.

Review the sequence again:

I remind you that D.J. Smith was not in the mood following this sequence, where Dell received no sanction for injuring his young forward.

"Any other player in the game that does that, you know, you have to go out and face the music." -DJ Smith
