Andrea Glauser will be penalized for swallowing in the final

However, Andrea Glauser did not escape unscathed: the criminal application for a fine was submitted to the single hockey judge. It should be between 2,000 and 3,000 francs.

“Sempach Bird Observatory” decides this

What's interesting is the way this criminal complaint comes about. The “Sempach Hoki Bird Observatory” is responsible for this. The so-called “Sounding Board” was established only this season. This three-member committee, with representatives from the players union, the league (player safety officer) and the umpires department, has only one job: to evaluate the swallows. Hence the name “Sempach Bird Observatory”. Swallows are birds.

If this body finds that it is Sununu, an application will be made to the single judge to impose punishment on him. This is what happened in the “Glauser case.”

Punishment by the hockey gods

It should be said: the swallow is still not punished harshly enough. The fines are very lenient. Stars can pay them out of petty cash or from winnings from Gus' tour. In theory, it would also be possible to ban a player for swallowing. This is the only way to achieve a deterrent effect.

The hockey gods have already punished Andrea Glauser severely: his team was unable to capitalize on the disqualification he provoked when the score was 0-0 on the power play. Instead, he enraged the ZSC Lions and gave the Zurich side a burst of energy that decided the game. ZSC Lions won 3-0 and took a 3-2 lead into the final. They need another win to win the championship. Their first opportunity will be on Saturday evening in Lausanne.
