McAvoy to have Player Safety hearing for actions in Bruins game

Defenseman facing discipline for illegal check to head, interference against Panthers defenseman Ekman-Larsson.

Charlie McAvoy BOS player safety hearing

 

ByNHL.com

Charlie McAvoy will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday

 

The Boston Bruins defenseman is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head and interference against Florida Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson on Monday.

 

The incident occurred at 9:28 of the third period in the Bruins' 3-2 overtime win at TD Garden in Boston. McAvoy received a match penalty on the play, which caused Ekman-Larsson to leave the game with an undisclosed injury.

 

The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.

Watched it and re-watched it several times ..

 

Puck Gone ✅

Head down ✅

Shoulder specifically drives up and into head ✅

Play is already away from from OEL ✅

Totally unnecessary ... ✅

Match penalty assessed ✅

Player injured ✅

 

Yup .....  agree with all above.  4-5 games with an appropriate monetary fine.

 

Look I love hard clean hits as anyone else does HOWEVER, these are the hits that the NHL must eliminate.  Absolutely no reason to go head hunting here. 

 

Ridiculously stupid on McAvoy's part ........   enjoy your 4-5 game vacation ....idiot.

Yep.  He got 4 games.  
 

@pilldoc, I don’t believe players get fined and suspended, per se.  They get suspended without pay so whatever the amount of pay for the games goes to the player emergency fund.  Players with the big contracts forfeit more money than the plumbers. McAvoy will forfeit $197,916.68 for those 4 games.
