Clearly reached with the elbow, no injury (hardly a flinch), and a 1 gamer. Good call.

The only disciplinary action that should be taken on these matters should be on the ice.

4.5 million for this thug?


I think Buffalo should spend that money on more skilled and finesse players.

What exactly was that by Leino? This is more of a suspension for an attempt to elbow than anything else because he barely seemed to make any impact with Read's head. Still a stupid play by Leino to extend his elbow like that given all the league attention towards this sort of thing, but the play just looked so inconsequential to me. I guess he got 1 game to get his head out of his ass.

Brain fart for Leino. It was a dirty attempt, 1 game is fine.
