from Darren Dreger of TSN,
On Tuesday, NHL executive vice-president and director of hockey operations Colin Campbell conducted a conference call to educate postseason coaches and general managers on what the league will be paying close attention to.
At the top of Campbell’s list of unacceptable behavior is unnecessary late-game brutality. Traditionally, this type of message-sending takes place when the team trailing in the last five minutes of a game wants to change the emotional tone of the series.
The NHL says it won’t tolerate this.

“No Hit”? Did you watch the games last night? And I don’t think the Caps will need the NHL’s help to take out the Flyers. It will be a close one though, the Flyers have played admirably down the stretch.
Regardless of the outcome of that series, I am fairly confident that the Stanley Cup will be decided on the ice, not by the league. Can you imagine the backlash if it were ever discovered that the league was manipulating games?
