NHLs Player Safety Under Fire: Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid Calls for Review of Suspension Process
The NHLs Department of Player Safety is facing criticism for what many perceive as lenient penalties on dangerous plays that sideline star players. This comes after Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas was suspended for five games for a knee-on-knee hit that ended Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews season. Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has joined the chorus of critics, advocating for a review of the suspension process. George Parros, who has led the department since 2017, defended his teams careful reviews and experienced staff, but the department has long been scrutinized for its handling of repeat offenders like Gudas, who has previously injured Sidney Crosby.
