None, but the rules allow stars to be mugged with impunity, and aside from one year nothing has been done about it.

I think McDavid could break some Gretzky records if they called obstruction penalties by '05-'06 standards

Q, Chevy, Fehr and Bettman all need to go. They all either knew or mishandled any sort of investigation of the matter.

Q knew and then wrote a letter of recommendation for that scum bag who went on to molest two teenage boys.

I am absolutely sickened, but if I'm being completely honest with myself this is the culture of hockey that I was raised on. Hockey needs to do better, much much better.

What about Crosby donkey punching players in plain view and nothing happening.

Quenneville needs to go. He knew.

And as for Duncan Keith? (frank) him, too. Brent Sopel and another player came out and said that every single player in that locker room knew.

That's one of the worst parts. Look at the guys on that team. Future Hall of Fame guys. (frank), Patrick Sharp has been in the studio during intermissions on NBCSN for the past couple of years. So much for a band of brothers. If Sopel and Boyton knew, they ALL knew.

Oh they were a band of brothers, all right. They banded against Kyle Beach.

And that's just it. The NHL has some huge problems and comes off as a dinosaur league yet again. Off the top of my head, I think of this incident, Dan Carcillo, Colin Wilson, Steve Montador, Robin Lehner. Something needs to change.

Assisting on superstars Mason Marchment and Eetu Luostarinen's goals.

The old guard needs to change. But the old guard are the owners that have the power. Which means it probably won’t change…

Point per game playing on the 3rd line getting less than 16 minutes a night. Wish the Sabres had a player like him

Just watched the TSN interview with Beach. Without a doubt, one of the toughest things I have ever watched in my life. Made me cry to hear his story.

If Q/Chevy, Bettman, Fehr and anyone else who covered this up aren't permanently banned from the NHL, it will just confirm everything that Kyle Beach said.

The TNT broadcast just called Duncan Keith a “great leader”

My god they have 0 shame

Bettman got his 32 teams, stabilized his southern expansion project and landed ESPN. I think he'll head out shortly but it'll probably be Bill Daly who takes over.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

Serious question, why so little ice time for Sam?

16 minutes seems light ...
