Former NHL Referee Calls Out Leafs Fans in Distasteful Tweet Regarding Matthew Knies
Leafs fans are eagerly awaiting the DoPS' decision, and Peel seemed to find the situation amusing.
He wrote several comments that weren't well received by the fans:

But as we saw with Andrew Cogliano's broken neck in the first round, even if it's dangerous, there may be no consequences at all for Bennett.

Peel seems sure of it.
Do you think Bennett should be suspended?
