from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun at the National Post,

When the tall foreheads of hockey next convene to discuss matters of the utmost importance, they really ought to put their best people (not the ones who redesigned NHL.com, thanks) on formalizing The Code.

Get it in writing, with a glossy cover and a foreword by Wayne Gretzky or Brian Burke or Don Cherry.

It would be an instant best-seller among fans and media alike, because it would answer so many questions not covered in the rule book about who’s allowed to do what to whom.

This week, for example, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk unloaded on his hockey club, saying everybody better keep his head up because no one’s job is safe.

This followed by a day or two Vancouver Canucks’ Daniel Sedin calling out certain unnamed teammates for lacking sufficient effort as the club crawls toward the end of a terrible season.

Their teams are equally hopeless, but Melnyk was cast as an eccentric buttinsky for overstepping GM Bryan Murray, particularly in his thinly-veiled criticism of coach Dave Cameron, while Sedin was nearly unanimously lauded for his inspiring leadership.
