Former UAA Seawolves forward Curtis Glencross gets off with a very light slap on the wrist, the fine of 2,500 dollars has “no teeth” to it what-so-ever, in fact I think this ruling is an utter joke especially for Curtis Glencross. Seriously, I have nothing against the player but Glencross makes something like 1.2 million dollars so that is a drop in the bucket for him.
I also think it’s funny that now we are blaming the player that was checked into the end boards, give me a break. I think this latest ruling is a joke, especially if the NHL wants to get serious about player safety. I think a one or two game suspension would have been more appropriate since Curtis Glencross is a repeat offender.
Toronto Sun --- Curtis Glencross won’t have to take a league-mandated seat in the pressbox.
But his next paycheque will be a few bucks light.
The Calgary Flames speedster escaped a suspension for the second time this season when he was fined $2,500 Thursday for a boarding major in Wednesday’s 6-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild.
A day after blasting Minnesota Wild defenceman Clayton Stoner, Glencross said he wasn’t expecting a call from league disciplinarian Collin Campbell before the fine was announced.
“I would have got a call already,” Glencross said after Thursday’s practice when asked if he was expecting to hear from the NHL’s head office.
Replays confirm the winger’s assertion that Stoner stopped short of the boards, which was at least partly responsible for causing the dangerous incident.
