$2500...

The maximum fine… what a farce.

Couldnt watch the game, but was it a particularly bad slash?

I thought so. Parise was just playing his typical game which involves hounding and being all over whomever he’s covering. Tavares managed to get knocked down against the boards, and then from his knees threw a wild (2 handed?) slash right at Zach’s arms. Couldn’t tell completely from the replay, but I think Chico or Steve stated that the stick also went up and hit Zach in the visor, and Zach also appeared to throw his head back for a moment. I only saw this replay the few times that they showed it during the broadcast yesterday, but I think this is what happened, and that it wasn’t even close to your run of the mill slash. Definitely deserving of a $2500 fine, and as many people are saying, that maximum fine number should probably be increased.

“it wasn’t even close to your run of the mill slash”

Like I said, I haven’t seen it yet so I guess i’ll make my own judgement once I do, but it had to have been pretty bad to necessitate a fine without a penalty in the game itself. And you said it appeared Zach got clipped in the visor so Shanny probably went after that as well. I just thought it was an odd situation to assess the maximum penalty on a non-call, deserving though it may be.
