Wheel of Justice strikes again. I love hockey but the more the NHL screws this up the less inclined I am to watch.

I’m absolutely stunned that Ruutu was suspended for this. Wasn’t a blindsided hit and it really looks like he hit him shoulder-to-shoulder.
Not sure why this was suspendible.

I agree Flash. other than being every-so-slightly late, it was a good hockey hit.
