Seth Jones was pretty far off track on this hit to Brandon Hagel, which forced him to extend both his elbow and his knee out to make sure he got a piece. Somehow this was deemed a legal body check and he received no supplemental discipline.

100 percent dirty hit to the jaw
I am so jaded with today's NHL. It's been said a lot but this is the 3rd hit to Hagel's head by the Panthers in the past year with next to no supplemental discipline.
Yeah, that’s a real dirty check. The league doing nothing about it is unfortunately completely predictable, but that absolutely should have been a) called on the ice and b) a short suspension, or at least a fine.
This league sucks at keeping its players safe.
Amazing how it keeps happening so what I call it is the Campbell Coincidence.
Where do we vote for this guy to replace player safety board
Don’t take a run at Barkov, and you won’t have a target on your back
I'm not completely sold on the kneeing part, but at the same time, I'd argue that the elbowing part WAS malicious, so I guess that kinda evens out
Also, just a clarifying question: since the two infractions you'd suspend for happen simultaneously on the same hit, I'm curious why the kneeing one gets the "repeat offender" tag and not the elbowing one? I mean, I guess it's a difference of just 1 game, but I'm just curious
my only question on ur review is the repeat offence, because both actions kinda happened at the same time. Idk if in my mind that qualifies as a repeat offense. But how this wasn’t any supplemental discipline in the nhl for at least the elbow is crazy to me
