Craig Button Criticizes The NHL On Alex Pietrangelo Punishment

The NHL Department of Player Safety makes another weak decision, when they announced that Golden Knights defenceman Alex Pietrangelo will be suspended one game for slashing Edmonton Oilers Leon Draisaitl.

Ever since the ruling was handed down, most believe that sentence was weak. Including TSN's Hockey Analyst Craig Button

Button on the recent episode of Sports Center with Jay Onrait, Button would criticize the NHL saying:

Button makes some very interesting points, Leon Draisaitl has been the best player the entire Play-offs, and could of been taken out just because of Pietrangelo's frustration.
