Glad to see they’re cracking down on the important stuff over at NHL HQ.

So saying mean things to your opponent and breaking one’s helmet while ramming their head into the glass warrants the same punishment.
That’s just fuching sad.

Whoa, wait a second. The Rangers player was conducting a TV interview, for goodness sake. Some people have no sense of perspective.

I missed this, what happened? For $2500 I’m assuming he took off a skate and tried to slash someone’s face with it.

Good thing there were no TV cameras around when Weber turnbuckled Zetterberg.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are worth $2,500.

Sticks and stones and forcefully shoving my head into the glass may break my helmet and be worth a $2500 fine but words will also be a $2500 fine.
Fixed that up for ya.

In Shanny’s defense, Konopka’s words were helmet crackingly bad.
