David Perron Finally Breaks Silence Regarding His Excessive Suspension
Today David Perron finally spoke publically about the massive suspension he is about to serve.
Perron Suspension Upheld By Commissioner Bettman
Earlier today the NHL announced that Gary Bettman had decided to uphold the suspension ruling regarding David Perron. Perron had appealed the suspension in hopes of a lighter sentence.
Perron is now returning from his suspension after the NHL confirmed its length. His return meant he was able to speak about the process and how he felt things were handled.
Perron Breaks His Silence Regarding His Excessive Suspension
After his suspension was upheld Perron spoke to the media for the first time. First, he addressed the play itself.
Perron then dipped into the punishment he received as a result of the play in question.
Perron clearly understands that what he did deserves extra discipline and a suspension. He doesn't feel the length fits the play or his history at all though. Generally, first-time suspensions are a couple of games. However, this will not be the case for Perron.
As a result of this incident, there is now a precedent set for incidents like these involving the head and neck area of a player at least for this season.
