Breaking: NHL announces stiff suspension for Philadelphia's Dale Weise.
Keystone Press

The National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety has announced a stiff suspension and fans of the Philadelphia Flyers are not going to be the least bit happy.

According to the official press release, Player Safety has hit forward Dale Weise of the Flyers with a three game suspension for his illegal check to the head of Anaheim Ducks defenseman Korbinian Holzer.

While not many will dispute the punishment for the hit itself, as Weise clearly extends and launches upwards into Holzer's head, however there have already been several suspensions against Philadelphia as well as a feeling that similar hits against the Flyers have been ignored.

Flyers insider Tim Panaccio in fact pointed to a similar hit from the Ducks in the same game.

Here's the video of the NHL's official ruling.
