Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan on Monday shared his thoughts on the team's treatment by the Department of Player Safety. In November, Leafs forward Ryan Reaves was handed a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head on Edmonton's Darnell Nurse.
This was not the first instance, as Oliver Ekman-Larsson was fined $5,000 in October for interference on Tampa Bay’s Jake Guentzel. Shanahan acknowledged that suspensions are always frustrating, but he expressed respect for George Parros, head of the Department of Player Safety.
"Well, I think we all get mad when our guy gets suspended, right? Even me—we all do. But having done the job and knowing the integrity that George Parros has, his integrity is not something you’d ever want to question," Shanahan said, per Leafs Latest on X.
