A rookie star’s night ended in pain. Ivan Demidov, slashed down by Nick Cousins, left the ice holding his wrist. The hit didn’t just stop the play. It started something bigger.
Nick Cousins delivered a two-handed slash right across Demidov’s wrist. The Canadiens rookie tried to skate off, but the pain forced him out. He was removed from the game. Before the hit, Demidov had already collected two assists and showed why fans are so excited about him. But after the slash, his night ended early.

The NHL disiplinary committee is a BAD joke. They let the third class competiros make a business of destrroying the futurue of young stars, even though the busienss of the whole NHL is to have some spectators coming to see the magic of players like Demidov, not the atrocity of such second level players like cousins. For them it is business to have about minimum salary and having a speeding ticket one a while. If they get a penalty, ore than a traffict ticket, it is a gema or two, we need not players in the NHL, who deliberately hurt othr player after the play is acually over, they can do it from behind that is disgusting. A siilar case as the kneeing of Patrik Laine, the rule knows kneeing, but it was not regarded as delibarately kneeing, but even the inompetet media was writing about collision and accident, Patty was already out of reach by legal means, and the second rate player tried to make himself a true NHL fighter by deliberately crushing the knee of Laine. Not even a penalty, beause the referees do not know the rules, or if they know the rules, but do not appply them they should not be in this busienss'
Nick Cousins just ordered himself a medium rare Sherwood Sandwich for Saturday night.
The league has always policed itself.
Dirty stick slash, and he dared to argue it wasn’t lol. Such a loser
