Whats out of wack here?


Tip of the hat to the Illegal Curve. This hit last season on Patrice Bergeron by Randy Jones got him a two game suspension. This just seems out of wack to me.
Check out this quote: Bettman was out to protect the integrity and dignity of his sport. I get that. Bravo, I say. But there have been more important events on Bettman's watch that have gone far less punished. He's making his stand now, here, around Sean Avery? This can only mean, after all these years, John Ziegler must still be phoning in the plays (from Switzerland, of course).

For instance, Randy Jones came close to killing Patrice Bergeron a little over a year ago, and the Flyer defenseman received only a two-game suspension. Well, if that's all it's worth, fine. But in one instance a guy attempted to take another guy's head off, and then Avery, standing in a locker room in Calgary, shot off his mouth, making himself look far more vulgar and idiotic than anyone he was attempting to smear. Two games for the former, six for the latter. Huh?


This is the comments that the NHL has determined to be more offensive than Randy Jone's dirty hit on Patrice Bergeron.
