Big Surprise

It was a big surprise (with a touch of sarcasm) that Danny Heatley WASN'T suspended for his two-handed slash on Brendon Bell. I don't get this league sometimes. They want to cut down on stick work, but won't suspend players for illegal stick work. I don't get it. I know that many people are not currently ready my Leaf blog, but if you do happen to stumble upon it sometime and read this post, PLEASE explain this situation to me. It has dumbfounded me years.

Probably the only explanation that I've been able to come up with, is that the league takes into consideration the extent of the injury, too much. Bell might be back on the weekend, the bone was bruised and not broken, therefore no suspension or fine was warranted. If his ankle was broken, and he was to be out a month or so, Heatley probably would have a got a 2 game suspension. Do you think if Steve Moore's neck wasn't broken by Todd Bertuzzi, he would have been suspended for the length of time that he was? I doubt it. I know that it is a whole different can of worms, and I'm not comparing the two offenses. The league should be looking at the act, and not just the consequences of the action.
