Jared Bednar calls out NHL Player Safety after Eberle folds Cogliano like an accordion.

The National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety has been the subject of much criticism since its inception and now it seems they have rubbed the Colorado Avalanche the wrong way.

The Avalanche were up in arms following the conclusion of Game 6 on Friday night thanks in large part to a dangerous hit from Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle. Eberle's hit sent veteran Avalanche forward Andrew Cogliano crashing into the boards with Cogliano's head absorbing a good part of the impact and it looked as though Cogliano could have been seriously injured on the play.

Although Eberle was awarded a 2 minute minor penalty for the infraction, the Avalanche clearly felt that a major should have been assessed given the dangerous nature of the hit. In spite of that belief, the Avalanche would not get their way and star forward Nathan MacKinnon expressed his disbelief at the decision from the officials.

The Avalanche were left to rely on the NHL's Department of Player Safety for any additional discipline to Eberle, but on Saturday it was revealed that the league would not be suspending Eberle, nor would they be issuing a fine, for Eberle's hit to Cogliano.

Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar expressed his own disbelief at the decision from Player Safety.

“I don’t know," said Bednar. "I can’t figure it out anymore. I don’t even try.”
