Subban gets a slap on the wrist for third dangerous slew foot trip in the past month alone

This just in, NHL Player Safety has fined New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban the paltry sum of $15,000 for his dangerous slew foot trip on Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras.

Check it out:

And here's the hit in question:

Watch closely as you see number 75 enter the corner and absolutely sweep Zegras' leg out from under him. That's a dirty, dirty play and maybe I'm too old school but to me that should be a suspension of at least a game or two. Add in the fact that this is the third time that Subban has pulled this move in the past month and it's pretty obvious that he just isn't getting it. Fines aren't working. 

Subban was fined for an October 7th slew foot on New York Rangers forward Ryan Reaves and again for an Oct 27th slew foot on Calgary Flames forward Milan Lucic. I mean... just look at this wrap sheet:

Again... what's it going to take? That's three slew foots in a month and Subban has paid less than $20,000 for his wreckless play. While Reaves, Lucic and Zegras all seem to have come out just fine, the fact of the matter is that Subban could have severely injured any one of them quite easily. To me, a slew foot is about the sneakiest, dirtiest thing you could ever do to someone out on the ice. There's no way to defend against it and it's effectively like having the rug pulled out from underneath you. You lose complete control of your balance and if you're lucky you'll only fall back flat on your ass. If you're unlucky though you'll slam the back of your head into the ice with no way to brace for the fall. Again, it's about as dirty as it gets.

NHL Player Safety is really playing with fire here because the next time Subban pulls this act, and he certainly will, he could seriously injure someone. A stiff suspension may have helped curb that but, again, a fine just isn't getting the message across.
