Chicago Blackhawks forward facing possible suspension following illegal check to the head
Last night's game got tense when Chicago Blackhawks forward MacKenzie Entwistle got a penalty for hitting an opponent's head.
Hits like these usually get reviewed by the NHL Player Safety Committee, possibly leading to a suspension.
Entwistle didn't agree with the penalty, but it stands. It's a situation the Blackhawks will need to deal with, alongside a possible suspension.
Hits to the head are serious in hockey and can cause injuries. The NHL has strict rules to prevent them and keep players safe, but they sometimes don't follow them properly.
Entwistle's penalty shows why it's crucial to follow these rules and promote fair play. Even if players disagree with calls, they need to respect them.
In the end, the focus should always be on keeping the game safe and fun for everyone.
