from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
How, by the way, would the Protector of Children (a previous refereence to Gary Bettman) explain Sidney Crosby’s behavior on Thursday night in Atlanta when the Chosen One first sucker-punched Boris Valabik across the side of the head before continuing to rein blows on his nether regions while the Thrashers’ defenseman was wrestling with Pittsburgh’s Kris Letang and unable to defend himself or fight back?
Crosby should be facing a disciplinary hearing with NHL vice president Colin Campbell. He should have gotten a game-misconduct penalty as third-man-in. Instead, the wimpy Chris Rooney-Don VanMassenhoven referee tandem got into the spirit of the Christmas season by assessing Crosby a mere two minutes for roughing. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Any other player gets minimum 5 games for this.
I can’t stand Crosby. Probably the best player on the ice but he’s got more wine in him than a Gallo’s brothers warehouse.

Put this incident up next to what Avery did to get suspended and it shows you how pathetic the NHL disciplinary process is.

I don’t know who to be more embarrassed for, the NHL for it’s absurd, haphazard approach to discipline, or Cindy Crosby for that pathetic display. What kind of hockey player throws shots like that with their gloves on? I half expected Crosby to hit him with a purse after that…
