Jordan Eberle's hit on Andrew Cogliano of the Colorado Avalanche resulted in a broken neck, which left everyone wondering if Eberle would face a suspension from the NHL's Department of Player Safety (DoPS). However, the DoPS disappointed everyone by not releasing any statement on the matter. Yesterday evening, the NHL finally issued a statement, saying they do not comment on plays that do not warrant supplemental discipline. This has been their standard policy since the creation of the DoPS in 2011. According to their policy, injury only comes into play after a hit has been deemed suspension-worthy on its own. In this case, the hit was considered legal. <q> «We don't comment on plays on which we don't assess supplemental discipline. That has been standard policy since the inception of the Dept. Of Player Safety in 2011. We make videos to provide detailed explanations of suspensions. Injury only comes into play AFTER a hit has been deemed suspension-worthy on its own.» </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/kylekeefetv/status/1652452744484257792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1652452744484257792%7Ctwgr%5E760ad120755a084d809f65a026607b0681078331%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.markerzone.com%2Fnews%2FNHL20Releases20Embarrassing20Statement20Regarding20Andrew20Cogliano20Neck20Injury'> </a></blockquote></div> This decision is frustrating for the Avs, who lost a valuable player to a dangerous injury without any consequences for the responsible party. The fact that Cogliano broke his neck makes this situation even more absurd. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/megangley/status/1652475552199229456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1652475552199229456%7Ctwgr%5E760ad120755a084d809f65a026607b0681078331%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.markerzone.com%2Fnews%2FNHL20Releases20Embarrassing20Statement20Regarding20Andrew20Cogliano20Neck20Injury'> </a></blockquote></div> Many are calling for the removal of Gary Bettman and George Parros due to their handling of these types of incidents.
