from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
Prior to Tuesday’s announcement I had a simple question for National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman: will he or will he not suspend Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli?
Now the more complex question is: for how long? A second question would be: who else?
I ask – and no, Gary, I didn’t call your office because, frankly, I know I won’t get an answer— what Samueli did would seem to fall under the same code of conduct regulations that ensnared Toronto Maple Leafs player Mark Bell.

Honestly, while what Mark Bell did is probably worse from a, for lack of a better way of putting it, “doing what’s right” perspective, the stuff floating around Samueli is more damaging to the league by a longshot.

It seems somewhat remiss that Kelley didn’t even mention Tocchet’s suspension.
Precedents have been set.
