Ed Mulholland-US PRESSWIRE

I want to commend the NHL for finally admitting they were wrong and for proving what we have been saying for the last several seasons, the disciplinary program is flawed. The 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs have been stained by the bad blood of cheap shots and dangerous violent attacks. Instead of enjoying eight really good [...]
