The NHL has announced that Nashville Predators forward Mathieu L’Heureux has been suspended for three games for slew-footing an opponent during a recent game. Slew-footing is a dangerous play that involves tripping an opponent by sweeping their legs out from under them.
L’Heureux’s suspension serves as a reminder that dangerous plays have no place in the game of hockey. The NHL takes player safety seriously and will not tolerate actions that put others at risk of injury.
L’Heureux has issued a statement expressing his remorse for his actions and acknowledging that he must be more careful in the future. He has accepted his suspension and will use this time to reflect on his behavior and make changes to ensure that he plays the game in a safe and respectful manner.
Let this serve as a lesson to all players that dangerous plays will not be tolerated in the NHL, and that there are consequences for actions that put others at risk. Player safety should always be the top priority in the game of hockey.
