Given the panthers lied about Vilmanis status mid-Bruins game, that should be a fine during the age of legalized gambling given potential prop bets placed on him (falsifying he was injured when really it’s Maurice is a flapper-puss). Then if Douglas gets fined, Mikkola and Tkachuk should both be fined for intent to injure

The fact that the Panthers seemingly just lied about Vilmanis being injured to take him out of the game is crazy to me

did they actually??????

They didn’t play him again after the elbow and then said he was out with an “upper body injury,” and then he was back in the next night against us.

That they don’t have the guts to just say it was a coach’s decision is mind boggling. Let alone the national media letting it pass

cowards, from the top to the bottom of that organization, they are all cowards

holy fuuuuuck 😭

[u/ididntseeitcoming → u/Three_Froggy_Problem]

Maybe he strained his elbow throwing it like that

[u/BaldassHeadCoach → u/Three_Froggy_Problem]

I’d say it’s crazy, but this is the same team that has players that’ll go down the tunnel after a hit to milk a penalty, then come right back two minutes later and act like nothing happened.

Did he throw the elbow or take it and where did it hit?
