Ron MacLean and Kevin Bieksa Share their Thoughts on the Fine to Jacob Trouba
The NHL was quick to make their decision and during the �Hockey Night in Canada' broadcast, veteran Ron MacLean and former NHL-er Kevin Bieksa spoke out about how the fine wasn't enough.
Bieksa also referred to the play as being �caveman like' and should have been punished more harshly. Many fans online have shared similar thoughts and felt Trouba should have been suspended. Regardless, plays like this do not belong in the game. This is all begs the question whether the NHL should increase the maximum fine for on-ice infractions?
The inconsistency with the rulings on dangerous plays are very frustrating for players and fans alike.
