The NHL needs to crack down on this BS
On November 7, 2024, Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot received a three-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser during a game on November 6. The incident occurred in the second period when Jeannot delivered a high hit, resulting in Boeser leaving the game and not returning. The NHL’s Department of Player Safety reviewed the play and issued the suspension, citing the dangerous nature of the hit and Jeannot’s prior disciplinary history. This suspension sidelines Jeannot for upcoming games against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Seattle Kraken.

If you make a non hockey play and player you hit is injured and misses games, you should miss the same number of games.
Three games?????? No previous history? Artem Zub of the Senators just returned after missing nine games from a Jeannot head shot. Hockey purists will maintain that was a good hit, but, there is no question, it was a direct blow to the head. That one on Boeser was predatory and there are no mitigating circumstances. Should have received 10 games. He got zip on the Zub hit so no lesson learned.
Clearly a dirty and targeted hit. Jeannot needs a hefty fine and a few games suspended. His coach needs to bench him too, but that won’t happen.
Crazy how a hit to the head without the puck being near is only a 3 game suspension because he never got suspended before. That's a bs rule
I just don’t even know why you go for that hit. Needs to be more than a suspension. Stop with this 5-10k fine bs too.
I don't watch hockey anymore because of incidents like this. I think it's a garbage sport when stars get injured by average players and the league does very little about it. I think the NHL is a big joke. I think it's the only sport that changes the officiating in the playoffs too. Cross checking, slashing….all that stuff is allowed way more in the playoffs. That's why you don't see the good teams or the star players shine in the playoffs most of the time. It's a scam of a league with the dumb officiating that takes place.
Xhekaj should be suspended for this.
Cheap shot kids these days
A sucker blind shot !!!
Not too mention interference with the entent to injury!
10 games minimum.
If it's only 3 games ! Fire the head of player safety! A let Bettman know that his job maybe next!
I'm fine with this decision IF stuff like Cousins smashing etc if you know what I mean is appropriately handled
I have a fun rule for the nhl: What if upon a suspension if it is deemed worse than a five gamer the player who hit the other player can’t come back till the other guy is no longer injured
I dont follow either team. I just don't see head contact there. The hit was intentional but it doesn't seem like it was an evil hit. I've seen the Rangers do way more things without getting penalties than what this video showed.
Either way, hope the injury isn't serious and they are back soon.
Lift the enforcer rule. None of this crap would be happening right now😢
No puck no hit interfere with him. Bad play. Bad hit
I'll be better than the Canucks fans who cheered Mcdavids injury. I hope brock is back soon.
Can we talk about how close Boeser’s head/neck came to the other Kings’ player’s skate blades? If that player hadn’t had the reflex of moving his foot back it could have gotten way worse. Same hit.
Edit : grammar
Why no one defended boeser at all!???
loved the hit, if you don't go watch woman's "hockey"
Hughes goal was so dirty, steph curry ankle breaker shit
The punishment is so light that dirty players will take a suspension just to injure a rival superstar for half the season
Three games is about the fourth of what should be the minimum for these
I guess Schenn knocked a few IQ points outta Jeannot last week
Fuck the NHL
3 games not enought! like always
Just watch Brock will be back next game lol
This is a horrible play, suspend as long as Boeser is off. Not saying Boeser has had a concussion, but he’s looks far and away..
Just a quick story. I have had concussions, one of them with a bleeding under the skull bone. I had postconcussive syndrome for a long time. at that time
I lost my memory, lost feeling in different parts of my face and neck. Got severe headaches, attacks of dizziness and so on. It took me eight months to get back ok with my life. Stayed inside most of the time but made short strolls around the neigbourhood in the beginning.
A simple thing like going to the grocery store two blocks away became an all day project due to these complications and the dizziness (like a rocking boat) End of story.
Hope Boeser is OK.
Looks similar to the dirty hits Xhekaj throws.
I ❤ Hockey..
But this is why I don't want check it as often….
Unnecessary roughness should be a penalty..
Clean CHEXING IS 1 THING BUT THESE PLAYS ARE SOMETHING ELSE
As a Canucks fan I was livid and was worried I was being biased… it’s nice to hear some validation haha
Man I always loved Tanner Jennot cause he grew up about ten minutes from us in this small town. Really hate to see this situation.
I had NO IDEA you had a hockey channel! I just hit the subscribe button faster than ever before
A dirty, unnecessary play by Jeannot! A suspendable offense in my opinion? Tanner, is a marked man, next game, against Vancouver guaranteed!
Parros is not the brightest bulb in the package! Too many hits to the head, in his playing career, guaranteed.
As a kings fan, I can assure you that the kings' fans think that was a total nonsense hit. Brock is a hell of a player and I wish him a speedy recovery
Vancouver needs to bring up a lugnut in the next game against LA. This used to happen regularly and it kept this kinda shit in check.
fire him
3 game suspension was not enough, definitely should have been a stricter suspension.
Oh too bad Jeanott isnt a Leaf, only way hed get a deserved suspension. Bunting got 3 playoff games for something not nearly this bad. Jeanott gets 3 regular games.
DPOS dartboard of justice strikes again.
Don't get me wrong, Bunting 100% deserved his, I'm just saying Jeanotts was worse and he got less. He should have gotten 10.
Vancouver fan here. Jeannot only getting three-games is an absolute joke.
Fine should be suspended without pay until the injured player comes back. That will stop this shit for good.
That should have been 5 games.
pens fan here, so i have no horse in this race.
very dirty, predatory hit with intent to injure imo. not a good look for LAK. suspension should definitely be more in the 5-10 range.
the game is getting faster, and thus, more dangerous. this is not a matter of "players don't know how to roll a check" – this is headhunting. the league needs to hold these players accountable
