Breaking News - NHL Hands Out Punishment to Josh Anderson After Disgusting Hit
The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-6 at home on Saturday night. Forwards Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki put on a show, which was the game's highlight, but another non-highlight is now trending, and a lengthy punishment may be given down.
Josh Anderson, a forward for the Canadiens who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and 218 pounds, was kicked out from the game for an extremely risky hit on Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.
The fact that Anderson took many steps before striking Pietrangelo, attacked him when he was defenceless, and many other factors make it evident that this should be a lengthy suspension. Matthew Tkachuk just received two games for a high sticking penalty, so this intent to injury situation has to be more...
Well, the NHL continues to un-impress horribly, Josh Anderson has been suspended for two games, and that is all for a ''intent to injure'' situation.
