In the past few minutes, the NHL's Department of Player Safety has finally woken up.
It's sad to say it like that, but that's exactly what it is.
After being completely silent since the start of the playoffs, especially during the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Washington Capitals, the discipline chief is finally taking action.
A Sanction Coming for Nicolas Roy
A sanction will finally be imposed by the NHL. It remains to be seen whether it will be a fine or a suspension, but as you can guess, this is sparking debate among Canadiens fans and journalists.
"Nicolas Roy will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for this cross-check on Trent Frederic."
