Here's the video :
After the game, people were eagerly waiting for the Department of Player Safety to give its verdict.
It's finally here.

This is a dangerous play that could have seriously injured Sebastian Aho.
The DoPS made the decision to give him a fine instead of a suspension. Do you agree with that verdict?
