Eikös Shane Doanin kuuluisi nyt saada uusien sääntöjen mukaan yhden ottelun pelikielto viime sekuntien tempustaan? Instigator-jäähykin tuomittiin...
Kuuluisi saada. Ja pitäisi saada mutta ei saa koska ei ole tappelija. Tämä on oikeasti todella perseestä. Säännöt sanovat toista mutta minkäs teet. Jos esim. Fedoruk olis ollut kyseessä niin johan olis tullut penaltya. Myöskään Gretzky ei saa 10,000$ sakko tilanteesta joka siitä oikeasti kuuluisi antaa. Nyt meni lopullisesti luotto NHL:ää, Buttmania ja Campellia kohtaan.
EDIT: Laraque näytti että hän on se kovin mies liigassa tällä hetkellä. Upea voitto ja Boogaardia vietiin. Laraque on niin helvetin vahva ja miehellä on loistava tasapaino. Mies saisi vain olla "ilkeämpi". Silloin tulisi rumaa jälkeä joka puolella.
EDIT 2: Tässä juttu siitä miksi Doan ei saanut pelikieltoa. Eli Cambell päättää myös nykyään ketkä ovat minkä tyylisiä pelaajia jne.
Wayne Gretzky not fined for late instigator penalty to Shane Doan

(CP) - Phoenix Coyotes head coach Wayne Gretzky was not fined $10,000 US for Shane Doan's late-game instigator penalty Tuesday night, The Canadian Press has learned.
Part of the new NHL rules call for an automatic $10,000 fine to the head coach and a one-game suspension to the player who gets an instigator fighting penalty in the last five minutes of a game, a rule the competition committee put in to discourage late-game brawls.
But NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell, who pushed for the new rule, also reserves the right to determine whether the rule applies on a case-by-case basis.
The spirit of the rule was to get rid of coaches putting out their tough guys with a minute left in the game to settle a score.
In this case, Doan is the captain and top player on the Coyotes, not a goon, so Campbell decided not to fine Gretzky and not to suspend Doan.
"It's something I crafted and fought for to get with the competition committee and the general managers," Campbell said Wednesday. "The key to the whole rule was that it would be automatic, no appeal by the team, but I would review every instigator in the last five minutes to see if it would pass the litmus test.
"And that would be, is this guy a two-shift guy who was out to send a message? Was it a tough guy doing his thing and leaving his calling card? Obviously, when you're talking about Doan, he played the most minutes in the game, you're not sending him out to send a message. So I'm going to assess each and everyone when it happens."
Doan, who still faced a possible fine from the league, punched Ducks defenceman Vitaly Vishnevski in the face at the end of Tuesday's 2-1 Anaheim victory over the Coyotes. Doan received instigator, fighting, misconduct and game-misconduct calls.
It came at the end of a game that had other incidents, one that saw Ducks winger Joffrey Lupul and Phoenix centre Petr Nedved both suffering apparent concussions after separate, borderline hits.
Coyotes defenceman Denis Gauthier, who earlier had taken down Ducks centre Todd Marchant with a high hit, pounded Lupul early in the third period with questionable hit but did not get a penalty for it.
Ducks tough guy Todd Fedoruk later retaliated, leaving his feet to hit Nedved with a dirty hit. He got a match penalty for intent to injure.
"It was something that had to be addressed," Fedoruk told reporters after the game. "There was a guy out there with a visor on running around like he's King Kong (Gauthier). He's not going to back it up. If the refs aren't going to call stuff like that, it falls on the players. You can only take so much, watching your teammates get late hits, high hits.
"In my eyes, it's an eye for an eye. I don't ever want to see anybody get hurt, but when my players get hurt, I feel obliged to send a message that I'm not going to let this happen. I think Nedved can thank his teammate for what happened."
Gretzky was fuming at Fedoruk's hit on Nedved.
"The guy jumped eight feet in the air," said Gretzky. "But we'll leave that to the National Hockey League to rectify."
