St. Louis Blues Robert Bortuzzo Punishes Team With Dumb Suspension

St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo plays with an edge and some grit, which is why he fits in so well with the team that won the 2019 Stanley Cup and continued to play well in 2019-20. However, he will not be playing with the team for awhile because of that grit which overflowed.

Bortuzzo was suspended four games by the NHL for conduct on the ice in the Blues game against the Nashville Predators on November 23. Bortuzzo was given a penalty after a crosscheck into the back of Viktor Arvidsson, but that was not the suspendable act.
