Thanks jj. Unfortunately I received a ban for making a joke about you. I apologize if I offended you, I will no longer make jokes.

Shanahan has become Colin Campbell, II (or III, for hockey historians, whatever).

Seems to me the GMs are still lobbying post-infraction, there are mistakes being made as a result, then compounded by "make goods," just like on-ice officiating for years (especially during the era of the "great" Kerry Fraser and Bill McCreary).

It's all kind of a joke, akin to the WWF.

I thought Shaw got away with one, FWIW.

I'm sure in your mind it wasn't nearly as bad as the hit to Hossa.

I hope Detroit is tired and sleepy today! If no one hits the magician and wakes him up we might have a chance.

Fixed that one for you, too.

Might want to find a way to be a bit more agreeable in tone, even when you're disagreeing in content. I've found in my life when undesirable consequences happen to me, I usually bear some responsibility for it.

About the same actually. Go look at my post-game blog. Called it a stupid play. Maybe that fact doesn't fit your narrative. Guessing it doesn't. Ho-hum.

Strange, as a 45 year old man I've also found this to be true in my life...you just may be onto something there???

As long as we understand you can say what you want and the rest of us can't, then it will be "agreeable". Not going anywhere near your blogs, but since you came here I think it is fair to comment on what you say.

The two hits were no where near comparable, one was going for the hit the other was going for the puck.

Absolutely fair to comment, here or anywhere, not to be personal, inflammatory or trolling. But you already know that.

And we agree on going for the puck, if going for the puck with your elbow made any sense at all.

Yeah, if you ignore that the puck was in the air and both players were going for it...

Same reason Hall got 2 on Clutterbuck while Hartnell last year got 0 on Paajarvi (and only a 2 min minor).

You're asking the NHL for consistency. The only thing they are consistent at is a) Lockouts and B) Consistently being inconsistent.
