The two pushed and shoved in the corner, but before referees could intervene Gla s started pawing at McQuaid.Things escalated pretty quickly from there.

McQuaid bowed out of the scrum and started bleeding. The referees reviewed the evidence written all over McQuaid's face and Gla s was given a five-minute major for butt-ending and a game misconduct. Of course, time had already expired, so there Jonathan Greenard Jersey was no way to serve either penalty even though both were recorded.The NHL's Department of Player Safety reacted swiftly by fining Gla s the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement.NY Rangers' Tanner Gla s has been fined $3,897.85, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for butt-ending Boston's Adam McQuaid. NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) Personally, I'd like to see stick fouls punished more severely, especially when it's a dangerous play like this. Giving Gla s a little tap to the wallet doesn't seem all that effective. Considering the proximity of his stick to McQuaid's eye, that could have ended a lot worse than it did. It almost makes you wonder what would have happened if Gla s didn't draw any blood. Carlos Dunlap Jersey
