Now Belak gets 6 regular season games and 2 play-off games for his stick swinging thing, which was not bad at all. It warranted a suspension of maybe 2 games, because the guy who got high sticked brought Belaks stick around because he was hooking him. I know you're supposed to be in control of your stick at all times but come on. Havlat cross-checks Recci in the head a few weeks ago and gets nothing, not even a freakin penalty. I think the league should stop trying to change the game and start looking at the way players are disciplined, that is the main problem with the league, not the size of pads, or blockers, or the red and blue lines. It's the fact that Colin Campbell has his head shoved so far up his ass he hasn't seen the light since 1975. As Roenick said "NHL WAKE UP"
And what is Selane bitching about I seem to remember him throwing elbows and high sticks all over the place for the maority of his career, he should practice what he preaches. He could always go back to Finland and play I'm sure no one would miss him.
