With the ongiong discussions about Brendan Gallagher's anticipated suspension, attention has been drawn to the inconsistencies in the NHL's Department of Player Safety rulings.
On X, a post indicates that both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins are among the teams with the highest suspension rates, and the difference is notable.
Fans have been vocal in criticizing George Parros, head of the Department of Player Safety, accusing him of being biased towards the Montreal Canadiens. Parros played a few years in Montreal, where the biggest rivalries were with the Bruins and Maple Leafs.
To compare Gallagher's upcoming suspension, which will likely be at five games or less, with Jason Spezza, who was also a first-time offender when he got suspended for six games. Some believe this discrepancy exists because Gallagher is in Montreal.
