The fact this sort of nonsense continues is a good indication that the league is quite happy for it to continue.  Give
Season long or life time bans and see how many times it happens.

Well it certainly wouldn't happen for awhile as the players would probably strike if the league decided to take on itself that kind of extreme arbitrary power.

You might want to look up the meaning of arbitrary.  Of the rule was that conduct gets you kicked out of the league, that is the exact opposite of arbitrary.

It's arbitrary in the sense that in the NHL everything is governed by the CBA.

So just change the CBA

It's amusing to watch this Vancouver-Edmonton series as a neutral-but-not-disinterested observer.

Vancouver scores with 38 seconds left in game 5 to take the win.  Game 6 will now be here in Edmonton, at 6pm on a Saturday of a long weekend.  Vancouver is up 3 games to 2, so Edmonton is in a must-win situation.

It could get wild.

Yeah. It's kind of fun for hockey fans. The bandwagons are rolling and people are having a good time :cheers:

My heart is with Edmonton because of Connor McDavid. Sorry Oilers I have jinxed you  :(

I think I've said this before: I'm a neutral but not a disinterested observer of this series.

Oilers beat Vancouver, advance to meet Dallas in the Western Conference Final.

So mid way through the third I was like "hey don't anyone say anything, but Skinner has an "s-word" going on".  I never said the word, that was an exact quote.

Canucks promptly score two gals, 3-2 final.

Am I in the wrong?
