Emery got 3 games for slashing on Saturday?

Question

Justified?

Answer 1

It is justified, it was not intentional, it was more of a reaction on his part. Marty Turco received 4 games last year for the same thing. He was a repeat offender, he got 1 game the previous year. There set a precedent with him.

So for Emery he is a first time offender (in the NHL) 3 game will make him think about it, that and $15,000 he will be out.
