Well I think you all forget Laraque only intended to knock Kronwall out for 5 games. The NHL loves to make calls on intent not physical actions so 5 games was the perfect length for the suspension.

I think b. Lee was making a joke and not an actual statement to the league.

There’s only one clear and reasonable explanation for this:

The NHL is racist.

Severity, intent, frequent offender and others all go into the mix for a suspension. This, as you state Chris, should not be the way it is. If the league so wishes to clean up some aspects of the game, then regardless of who the offender is, you suspend him. Richards should have been suspended earlier in the season, however since he is who he is much like Malkin and Ovie, the league did not.

I think the system is flawed completely, seeing that Colin Campbell is the sole reviewer and disciplinarian. Imagine the US’s Supreme Court consisting of only one judge. Doesn’t make much sense seeing you would only have one perspective. This however is the way the NHL operates and without a fix with the system itself, suspensions will be as iffy as they are right now.

Fight the power!
