Unless he has insider info. But that still seems insane. It's not like he's throwing games etc.

Put this in perspective, Auston Watson was suspended 18 games for domestic battery.

Told Pinto’s suspension officially begins with Game 1 of Ottawa’s season, and is not dependent on him signing a contract.

It seems like this suspension is wildly heavy handed. I'm fine with the suspension, because you can't have players betting on games. Especially there own teams but 41 games I cannot grasp.

Sources say the NHL's statement will say Pinto didn't bet on hockey but there was impropriety that the league investigated and found it had to act on. #Sens

That's what I was kind of insinuating. Like if he bet on the Knicks - Celtics, what's the problem?

It’s just funny to me cause the nhl does nothing but promote sports betting non stop. Then they do things like this

And as Blacksheep pointed out they suspended another player for less time when he beat his spouse.

Does anyone know who advertises on the sens helmet? Apropos of nothing at all

So let me get this straight:

Hypothetically, Shane Pinto can intentionally cross check or give a direct shot to the head of Jack Hughes during a game and get MAYBE a 3 game suspension. But if he bets on some games --- he gets half a season?? Got it!!!

Oh nevermind I found it oops

Yeah, we're living in crazy world. I don't think the NHL is considering how insane the optics are going to look on this one.

The nhl did spend the last month banning players for putting rainbow tape on their sticks. They have their priorities in order

Oh nevermind I found it oops

I don't understand this one bit. NHL players and staff are ALLOWED to bet on non NHL games. But they don't believe Shane Pinto bet on NHL games. What the (frank) is he being suspended for?

Eddie Olczyk was flown from SC playoff games to the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont stakes.

Erik Johnson owns racehorse.

I don't understand what the NHL is doing here. The league cannot get out of it's own way with anything.

So, wouldn't you think that we don't have the full story? Like, if it makes no sense, there has to be more info not made public. Maybe he was tipping off others about injuries or something like that. Obviously, they felt like the integrity of the game was jeopardized if they are handing out a suspension like that.
