The Colin Campbell Wheel of Justice is spinning out of control lately. As our good friend HockeyJoe posted earlier:
What in the blue hell is it going to take for there to be any modicum of consistency out of Colin Campbell’s game show studio of an office when it comes to dangerous hits in the game? Mike Richards gets no suspension for his hit on David Booth. Tuomo Ruutu gets a three game suspension for his dirty play on noted scumbag Darcy Tucker. Rob Scuderi gets a fine for his low bridge action on Jason Chimera even in spite of Scuderi having a relatively clean record and now Steve Ott is going to see some sort of action taken against him. I’d like to assume it’s going to be a suspension but you just don’t know what the Wheel of Justice will turn out.
So, Steve Ott gets 2 games. I guess I can see that (Mike Richards on the other hand ...)
So, we know how random the wheel is when it's player on player violence. So, what happens when it's player on ref?
Look at the 1:01 mark for what should get Colton Orr absolutely no less than 3 games
What do you think folks? Vote early, vote often.

3 games?
Why? He did what almost every fighter does, tries to wave the linesman off so he doesn’t come in too soon. Orr didn’t know the linesman was actually going to make contact. I don’t see Orr getting any punishment for this. Purely unintentional, he wasn’t even looking in the linesman’s direction.

Doesn't matter
Massive mistake by the ref for not sticking up for his crewmate. Should have been a misconduct for contact with an official.
Rule 41 – Physical Abuse of Officials
41.1 Game Misconduct – Any player or goalkeeper who deliberately applies physical force in any manner against an official, in any manner attempts to injure an official, physically demeans, or deliberately applies physical force to an official solely for the purpose of getting free of such an official during or immediately following an altercation shall receive a game misconduct penalty.

I think people would take issue with the idea of “deliberately” in your bolded section.

No way
He deliberately put his hand out, onto the linesman’s chest and shoved. It’s clear as day

Give that linesman two minutes for embellishment. Stay on your feet, junior.

He will get nothing. I don’t know it sounds good.

Hmmmm
Seems to me that he reaches out and pushes the guy. A pro player needs to know the only one coming in at that point is going to be an official. You can see his arm push out. Waving him off? NO. WAY.

I said one day
he did reach out and make contact with the ref and that is a no-no. on the other hand, his hand was almost at full extension already when he touched the ref, I thought the ref tdid a good job with his fall, certainly there was no attempt to hurt the ref. so I say 1 day suspension for making contact with the ref.
Also, what was the ref thinking getting in there before the fight was over? that was an oscar worthy dive though.
