Those recently unsealed NHL Emails reveal what we've always suspected...

It's an Old Boys' Club dominated by extremely biased morons who couldn't give a flying one about "player safety".

It's a Kangaroo Court, don't take it seriously folks, that's exactly what... they :look: ... want you to do.

They want you to riot and end up in jail (or worse)

Don't give them the satisfaction, gotta laugh it off people...

Blobby, you say 8-10, the League considers playoff games more than regular season games, so Keith is getting ~7 game if it were regular season.
I was under the impression that a player was not considered a repeat offender if he kept his nose clean for 18 months.

Your right for sure but he's one of the best in the league and if you ever were going to make a meaningful example, well now would be kind of good :evil:
Next we'll here that in the off season one of his hobbies is fencing...

1st offence or 18 months clean, the player is fined only for the game days missed.

Repeat within 18 months, the player is fined his pay for each day, including those between games.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Ok so it's a monetary thing. Serves me right for listening to the talking heads on radio and tv. As usual they don't have a clue what they are blabbering about. Thanks for clarifying.

Tonight Kadri viciously attacked Glendening, nowhere near the play, with a cross-check to the face.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and call no suspension. :drink:

I must say, a bit of a psycho that bloke eh wot?

EDIT: Wait, forgot about him mouthing-off this morning about his 3rd diving fine this year:

Bettman spelled it out in the Kaletta appeal a few years ago. Specifically pages 13-14

http://www.nhl.com/nhl/en/v3/ext/pdfs/K ... 202013.pdf

The Kaletta decision may be a precedent for Keith. Kaletta had an even more storied history and got 10 games.

Not surprising that most talking heads don't know this.

Another one they don't have a clue on is goalie interference. Check the rule book on that some day, Inside or outside the crease has little meaning other than the severity.

Well to be fair to Kadri, Glendening crosscheck him first, even knocked his helmet off. It was retaliation.

Having said that, he should get suspended the rest of the season.

As always, 78 games or so into the season,
whether playoff bound or clean out the locker bound,
for too many to list agendas,
plenty of guys snapping and losing it right now,
then after next weekend,
into the pocket the whistles go :shock:

And no penalty given?

Looked like the linesman was ready to drop him. :D

Frontier Justice should be the payment. I might be done with this team if their isn't something extracted from Toronto on December 3, 2016. Not Bertuzzi style justice but something substantial needs to happen.
