No suspension for Wilson.

The kangaroo reigns.

Once again, I called it.

I can't imagine Shenn will be any smarter after that hit.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

His explanation is probably one of the more lucid videos Shanny has put together.

Yeah that is a really solid explanation actually.

Laughed at the use of the word "lucid" though. As though Shanny is normally wrapped up in a bedsheet holding a 3/4 empty bottle of gin, rambling like a madman :lol:

Actually, I always imagine the Department of Player Safety discussions consist of Shanny talking to several jars filled with his own urine, but I like your description as well. :D

Steve Moore has launched Foundation for research and prevention of concussions.

Is this a precursor to a out of court settlement with Todd, or a money grab for donations and set himself up with a cushy salary administering the foundation? Or both?

Gary has spoken on Thornton

Clam and Doc, I suggest you bookmark it so I needn't throw it back in your faces at a later date.

All this post proves is that Messr Topper is a kangaroo-loving jackass. :mex:

I think we all knew Bettman would support Shanny’s decision in a flood of kangaroo-flavoured legalese.

Boring and predictable... except for the part where he calls Thornton a bald-faced liar. :lol:

Best part of the document:

“The CBA does not prescribe a formula and the process of assessing discipline for on-ice
conduct is not an exact science... Any two incidents are almost certain to vary in a number of
respects, making exact comparisons impossible.”

Yeah, basically they are throwing out the common-law concept of precedence - unless it suits them. No precedence on which to base any interpretation of the rules or any application of discipline... Mao and Stalin would be proud.

Still, I have to admit I am surprised that Buttman had the nerve to ding a player from one of his crony owners' teams. Thornton was a bit of a low-hanging fruit, though.

That said, I wonder what would have happened had it been Lucic in the middle of it and/or it was game 75 of the season.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

Probably has something to do with that looming lawsuit. :wink:

I was merely trying to assist them to avoid future embarrassment. Call my Christmas gift to them.
