In hockey, dropping the gloves is a well-known term. But throwing a glove? That’s one we don’t see every day. However, it happened on Friday late in a game between the Rangers and Bruins when New York winger Artemi Panarin threw his glove from his bench (video link) at Boston winger Brad Marchand. Both players received misconducts which was an easy way for the officials to try to diffuse the situation with just seconds left on the clock.
The Department of Player Safety felt that a bit more punishment for Panarin was warranted, however, as they announced (Twitter link) that he has been fined $5K for unsportsmanlike conduct which is the maximum allowable under the CBA.
This is the first time Panarin has faced any sort of supplementary discipline from the league in terms of a fine or a suspension. As usual, the money from the fine goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund. In the meantime, these two teams will be waiting a while for their next matchup which isn’t scheduled until April 23rd in the first of a back-to-back home-and-home set.
Marchand acts like an unsportsmanlike clown every shift. And the other guy gets a fine for throwing a cushion at him? That is a real NHL LOL.
Not the soft cushion or the comfy chair, what is this a sort of Spanish Inquisition?
nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Slew-foot a guy injuring him and get a warning
Throw your glove at Brad Marchand and get a fine
It’s bs, league has become a joke.
In the words of one Charlie McCarthy – “That’ll learn ya, durn ya!” F’ing DoPS…
My favorite part of this is Artemi asking for the glove back right after he threw it at Marchand
LOL! It was also funny to see all his Ranger teammates cracking up and patting him on his back as he was walking back to the dressing room.
And the elbow to Lindgren’s face by the POS Pageau didn’t even warrant a fine.
So let me get this straight Parros….what you are saying is, what Panarin did is as just as dangerous as Wilson’s rag doll of Panarin last year or not as dangerous as Subban’s slew foot of Blais this year? You are a real class act! What a clown!
