Greer will be missing for some time, but is that enough?
The NHL’s Player Safety Division has put Florida Panthers player AJ Greer on suspension after he made a rough hit on Calgary Flames player Connor Zary last week. But will this punishment satisfy those who think Greer should face a harsher consequence?
On Sunday, the league shared that Greer is suspended for three games due to a very risky hit from behind. This hit not only looked dangerous but also seemed to come from Greer’s frustration, making it seem even worse. While we can’t truly know what Greer was thinking, it’s easy to argue that he intended to hurt Zary with such an action.
The suspension probably won’t affect the Florida Panthers much since they are far from getting into the playoffs this season. Still, Greer has been an important player for them, especially since many forwards are injured. Before he was suspended today, Greer scored 13 goals and made 11 assists for a total of 24 points in 68 games this season.
