Former NHL Referee Calls Out the NHL over Recent Suspension

The NHL has long had issues with their Department of Player Safety and disciplinary calls, and now, those issues have come to the fore once more after a questionable decision.

Jason Zucker suspended for three games

After the video went around social media of a questionable hit on the Florida Panthers Nick Cousins, the Arizona Coyotes Jason Zucker was suspended for three games for boarding.



After going to that hearing, Zucker was officially suspended for three games, and while purely looking at this hit, it could be considered a fair suspension, the inconsistency has now been called out by a notable name.

Tim Peel calls out the NHL's inconsistencies

Over the past few weeks, Peel points out that Cousins has hit several players in vulnerable positions with no repercussions, but as soon as Zucker does something similar to Cousins, a suspension follows.



Whether you like Peel or not, it's hard to deny that he's right in this situation, as the NHL's DPOS seemingly has separate rules for different players, and this is something they need to take care of very soon.
