Ovechkin got a 5k fine for spearing someone in the balls as well lol.
Mcdavid gets a 5k fine for a headshot.
It is chump change to them.
For these players they take the 5k fine to make a statement that they can get unhinged.
Might make players think twice about pestering them because they know they are messing with the chosen ones and the league is not going to touch them if they retaliate or get frustrated.
The league wants to protect the faces of the league and this is one way to do it.
/e not saying I agree with that attitude. That is just what it looks like.
Yeah someone calculated the %, it's pretty much like a 20 dollar fine for an average person making average income for the year lol
