The $5,000 fine for Gryzelcyk seems a little light in comparison with previous suspensions handed down. This punishment further shows the inconsistency with the Player Safety Department. There does not seem to be rhyme or reason as to who gets more serious punishments to those who get off easy. Bruins fans will be happy to see with the light punishment as Bruins player Trent Frederick took a similar shot from Capitals Alex Ovechkin that went unpenalized.
Itis yet to be seen if Ovechkin's infraction goes reviewed or not.
