from the Delco Times,
Scottie Upshall didn’t think he was going to be penalized for his check on Tampa Bay’s Evgeni Artyukhin, but the morning after being slapped with a major penalty and a game misconduct, Upshall found himself talking to NHL discipline boss Colin Campbell.
Upshall wasn’t suspended, or even fined, but he was given a stern talking to by Campbell who is on a mission to take dangerous hits and eradicate them from the league entirely.
“I’m glad I’m not suspended, but I definitely don’t think I should have been kicked out of the game,” Upshall said. “(Campbell) wanted me to try my best to let up on guys who are in a vulnerable position and that’s what I try to do. He said we’re not going to suspend you, but we’re trying to crack down on these hits….”

“wanted me to try my best”
Try his best? That’s quite the stern talking to. Good grief.
Remember what Sean Connery said about “your best” in The Rock? Exactly.

Colin Campbell is the mall security guard of the NHL.
“Stop or I’ll yell stop again! I might even throw my keys at you to stop! OK, seriously… please? Come back? I swear I won’t call the real cops…”
