from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,

After being levelled by a Stephane Robidas elbow to his chin Saturday in Toronto — and struggling to regain his balance and leaving in the second period to be evaluated in the league-mandated quiet room — the Vancouver Canucks winger is trying to regain his stability. And he’s trying to wrap his head around the NHL’s decision not suspend the Maple Leafs defenceman, who only received an elbowing penalty.

Matthias was also levelled by a Mike Ribeiro cornerboards hit to the head on Nov. 2 at Rogers Arena, a crushing left arm shot that sent him to the ice and he struggled to regain his balance. The Nashville Predators forward was assessed a minor penalty for a hit to the head. That’s it. Two crushing blows. Not one suspension.

Alex Burrows was suspended three games after a late hit to the head of Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin on Oct. 30, even though there was no penalty on the play.

“If we say anything we’re looked upon as complainers,” said Matthias. “I don’t know why that is. I was always taught to get up when you might be hurt. I had may parents in the stands (Toronto) and I’m not going to lay on the ice — I’m going to try and do my best to get up and get to the room. On both hits I got up right away and didn’t say anything to the media after. We were respectful and didn’t say anything out of context, and I don’t know why that would be the case. They were blatant hits to my head and there was no call (suspension). Nothing.
