James Neal Suspended One Game, Arron Asham Gets Four

Share

After a delay so long it became a twitter meme, the NHL's Dean of Discipline, Brendan Shanahan, finally handed down his verdict on supplemental punishment for Pittsburgh Penguins Arron Asham and James Neal. For his crosscheck to the high chest/neck area of Brayden Schenn, followed by punching Schenn from behind as he fell to the ice, Asham will be suspended for four games. Neal received one game for two separate incidents on the same shift. In the first, he put a dirty hit on Sean Couturier, who did not have the puck. Then, he charged at Claude Giroux with a head of steam. Neal also appeared to go up high on Giroux, who tumbled awkwardly. 
Craig Adams' suspension was announced on Monday, an automatic call given that it was a mandatory one-game ban for being assessed an instigator penalty in the last five minutes of a game. Dan Bylsma received a mandatory $10,000 fine. Adams attacked Scott Hartnell, from behind, while Hartnell was defending himself from another Penguin (Sidney Crosby) sneaking him. 
Below, Shanahan hands out the Neal and Asham suspensions, with videos explaining why. Also, a look at the league's next suspendable hit, which came while we waited for Shanahan's decree and saw a star player leave the ice on a stretcher.
