This guy will never recover from losing 0,26% of his annual salary

Seems steep for attempted murder

Time for any player to run into opposing team’s goalies. Just a chump change fine for whoever does it. Rest of the team will just Venmo the guilty party. 🙄

It was a literal football tackle.

So who gets nominated by the Habs to run whoever is between the pipes for the Sabres next game? $3500 fine sets a pretty low bar on goaltender safety.

That entire game had suspendable moments all over and yet somehow no one got anything more than a slap on the wrist. Great work boys

I’d prefer that to be a game.
He literally sets a path straight for the goalie and doesn’t even try to evade.
Sure, he *might* have been trying to cut in front but was prevented by the defender, but all he had to do was turn to the left and he could have skated cleanly by the net.

Should’ve been a game. That was clear intent to injure.
AASLYWALKER
That’s a joke … it should be paid in term of days insted of change (small $ for them) !

So basically it’s worth it to risk injuring the goalie and heavily turning the tide. You send a dummy player from the AHL charge the goalie, hurt him and you get 2min but probably win the series.

Wow Bolduc was (rightfully) pissed. Thanks for the clarification, u/No-Strike-2015

Should be a fine of 10% of the goalie’s salary. Paid for out of the opposing team’s cap. And yea plus a game.
Impressive_Pen7764
Should have a suspension with that fine, no intention of ever stopping… Looks oddly similar to Kreider in 2014. Gross and does not belong in hockey.
NixonsTapeRecorder
Definitely shoulda been at least a game. Even i thought, as a sabres fan, that it was insane he didnt get a major plus for that. At the very least a major/review situation.
TreacleOk7265
Money is a joke if there’s no suspension.
lemminfucker
He did the flying trouba move straight into dobes’ head, how is that not a game
Simpuff1
I wonder now if Buffalo fans will continue saying he was pushed into it and didn’t deserve anything
Dizzy_Cheesecake_162
Isn’t proof that he should have gotten way more than 2 minutes?
maxmax4
They should add at least one zero to that.
Nashtak
So not enough for a double minor or major, but enough for a fine. Alright.
oliviertail
Buffalo doing everything except playing good hockey… shame of a team.
Unhappy_Low_5210
Yeah, that’ll show em!

.63 is a shoutout to Marchand

$100 less than Xhekaj. Running a goalie is apparently cheaper than punching someone.
playr_4
Such a specific number.
GreyHairedDWGuy
I like Buffalo but that should have been a 5min major

Would you like to round up to support your local charity?
Sorry-Insurance-1177
Isn’t there a max amount of money fined that they can’t go over? I’m not sure why it’s so low because these fines are just pocket change for the players. At that point just suspend them for a game

So much for caring about player safety. This should be an automatic suspension. Malenstyn knew exactly what he was doing here.
TheBergster84
Habs would have done the same and thats an automatic game suspension if not more. League is a fucking joke towards canadian teams
Rellek_
The EV of Maly successfully hurting Dobes here FAR outweighs even 10x this amount. These fines are not deterring a damn thing.
Juan_Sn0w
Dude should have been concussed by Bolduc on the ground.
Cloudrider31
If they take Dobie out they will have to face Fowler. Hes a dam good goalie to.
DaSkull
Salary of Malenstyn this year is 1 350 000$
Salary of an average american worker is 70 000$ for a year.
He just had to pay 182$ for this assault.
Eat--The--Rich--
I wish I could kneecap a colleague in the face and pay a $20 fine for it.
BaronessVonKush
so fucking dumb, the guy literally flew at the goalie with a driving knee & he gets the lightest of slaps on the wrist for this shit.
should’ve been at least a 2 game suspension & a MUCH higher fine.
All this does, is show players they can charge the goal tender & get away with it!
