Andy Sutton, An Independent Appeal Process, And Why It Probably Won't Happen
Having been suspended twice already this season, punishments that will cost him almost 12 per cent of his $2,250,000 salary, I think it's safe to say that Andy Sutton isn't the biggest fan of the job Brendan Shanahan is doing as the head of NHL discipline. In Joanne Ireland's article in the...
Video Review: Anton Volchenkov's Elbow on Zach Boychuk
With the recent news that Anton Volchenkov might face discipline for his elbow on Zach Boychuk last night, I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at this hit with video. This isn't the first time I've done this, as I took a look at Jason Arnott's power play goal using video review in...
