Vermette can appeal the suspension.

A move that happens a hundred times in a game between players...Vermette was pissed about the faceoff, I guess...and was like, "Yo...the fuck man?"

 

Well, you can't do that. Enjoy the time off, stupid head.

 

BTW, I couldn't see the video on the TSN link; this is what I watched - https://streamable.com/7vta9

What a stupid bastard. I heard them talking about it on NHL network but it didn't show the infraction that clearly. That was such a dick move.

Just a love tap. They could know each other for 30 years for all we know.

I have no problem with this. It's a set rule. There's no reason to reduce it. Don't touch refs or linesmen.
