I was expecting a fine at most. I'm surprised, in a good way.

I can live with this, though one game would have been enough. At least they did something to acknowledge that it was a dangerous play, but they didn't go overboard and treat it like an intentional play. Glad he will be in the lineup for next weeks rematch so the Wild can try and exact some revenge....








...... On the scoreboard.

Parise and Koivu can be the power-play enforcers
