The bizarre wheel of NHL situational justice, as we touched on over the weekend. Puck Daddy weighs in and links the above HNIC interview with Colin Campbell. Two things stand out to me about Campbell's thinking: 1) "It might not be as bad as something else, but everything has its measuring stick"...
Carcillo to serve one game suspension
Daniel Carcillo will serve a one-game suspension for his role in an incident in the final minute of last night's game. Expect the versatile Luca Sbisa to take his spot in the lineup in Game 2. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=275244

"It's nice that he said that [to Blake], but actions talk louder than words," Hagman said. "It's easy to say sorry afterwards. ... I don't think he tried to hit me in the head with an elbow, but still it happened and he extended it." >>Nik Hagman, who will miss his 12th game since suffering a...
Downie suspended again - 20 games
I remember a lot of people being very upset when Downie left. I think it's obvious now that the kid is never going to learn. As Mirtle puts it, "Downie strikes me as a very troubled human being." http://www.fromtherink.com/2009/3/5/781858/downie-suspended-20-games
Witt gets 5 games for Hagman elbow
Pretty much what I figured. I've already said my piece on the situation here. So many Islanders fans predicted this. I'm not against the length on principle -- what gets me is the fact it relates to no other suspensions handed out this year except for ... another Islander's....

"Were they booing? I thought they were just calling me Lou. I must have misunderstood. It happened over a year ago now. I've moved on. I'm glad he's back and glad he's playing. I'm over it." - Randy Jones on his reception Saturday in Boston via Sam Carchidi in Sunday's Inquirer
F Ville Peltonen to miss next two games...at least
A result of the Artyukhin hit on Saturday. Pelts had 8g-12a-20p +12 in 44 games on the season. I don't wish to be more of an alarmist than I usually tend to be, but wanna see how important his presence has been? Lookie here: Since January 3rd, he's put away 4g-3a-7p +7 in a tick under seven...
Nielsen takes the high road
"Yeah, he definitely got his elbow up, but maybe that's a natural response to when you try to catch someone who's going by you. I'm pretty sure he didn't try to hurt me like that," Nielsen said. "But I didn't see him, either. Andy Hilbert was in between us, so I didn't see he was coming." Jibes...
How *does* Campbell's Magic Suspension Ball work?
"In his infinite wisdom, Campbell decided it wasn't a head shot and, therefore, deserved only a two-game suspension. ... Apparently, the league decided Mottau didn't follow through cleanly and clearly to the head because Nielsen caught sight of him coming and recoiled sufficiently to avoid taking...

"I'm just sick and tired of hearing how the players association has to get together on this; [that] it's all on the players. There's a lot of people involved. There's the players, there's the referees, and then there's the league. I think everybody has a hand in this game. We all have a...
