HockeyBuzz Wire: Devils Gabriel suspended one game for hit on Patrick
- hockeybuzz_wire

I thought the one on giroux a few weeks ago was worse, surprised they gave him a game on top of the major. DOPS is a joke

Worth the game Got chippy there for a few No one knows what to expect from DOPS at this point, A little more consistency would be nice.

DOPS and consistency are two terms that don't mesh !!
I don't know why NHL wastes money on it - same thing with the Toronto review booth black hole.

There is no consistency with either unit. Neither one appears to have a protocol to follow in their decision making.
DOPS is especially frustrating as it appears that their rulings depend on who the assailant is, as well as who the victim is. Past history does not necessarily come into play (especially if the assailant plays in Boston).

With the review booth - one time it's "goalie interference", the next time it's "incidental contact". Again, depends on the team and player as to the ruling

Arbitrary rulings are the order of the day from both units. Why bother . . . ???

I'm sure this won't be the last time Gabriel gets suspended

I’m fine with Gabriel getting a game and was expecting it to be a couple more. Surprised Patrick doesn’t even get a review for a retaliatory head shot. It just all seems so inconsistent.
