NHL '11 - '12 Thread

The initial phone hearing was changed to an in-person hearing so you can bet it'll be more like 5 - 10 games given the circumstances. Of course it's also very nearly the silly season again and therefore time for the NHL to roll out the Wheel of Randomized Justice (tm) in order to dispense completely irrational and total unpredictable disciplinary actions.

Provisional on how long Sedin is out I'd agree. I firmly believe that with hits like that, on any player, the offender should be sitting for as long as the injured player is out AND the offenders team shouldn't be allowed to dress a replacement. It's not possible under the current rule structure but the changes should be made to allow it's implementation.

yeah that would be a plan. Garbage like that needs to be taken out of the game. Not sure a few games or these 2500$ fines really do much to deter. The guy makes 4 million a year and you fine him 2500...
