from Mary Ormsby of the Toronto Star,
There will be blood. That’s a given in playoff hockey.
But how much of it should continue to spill after the initial laceration was unclear after San Jose Sharks’ Patrick Marleau appeared to lose a pint or two in Sunday’s loss to the Calgary Flames….
NHL spokesman Gary Meagher said yesterday the league’s procedures in dealing with open cuts and blood are guidelines rather than strict rules to allow for “some judgement on the part of the referee” to decide if a player has been sufficiently treated by medical staff.
